Close to the problem
Works with real users, in their operation, from day one.
Forward Deployed Engineers
We don't hand over software. We deploy engineers.
Forward Deployed Engineers who build your ecosystem from the inside and own the outcome. One offer, four ways to engage.
What an FDE is
What a Forward Deployed Engineer is
An FDE is an engineer who works inside the client's operation, not in a distant office: they work through the problem with users, build the solution on a platform and deploy it until it works.
Builds, does not just advise
Delivers working software in phases, not reports.
Owns the outcome
Measures against agreed KPIs and adjusts until they are met.
Lines
Four ways to engage
Training, consulting, recruitment or outsourcing. They share one method, and you can start with one and move to another.
01 · Training
FDE Academy
Turn your engineers into FDEs by deploying on a real case.
Delivered by: your team
02 · Consulting
FDE Model
Where an FDE adds value: operating model, governance, KPIs and pilot.

03 · Recruitment
FDE Talent
We find and validate FDEs to join your permanent team.
Validated by: technical challenge
04 · Outsourcing
FDE as a Service
MPFORALL FDE cells inside your operation, accountable for results.

What do you need to solve?
Comparison
The four lines, compared
| Line | FDE Academy | FDE Model | FDE Talent | FDE as a Service |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What you get | An in-house trained team and a deployed case | Operating model, KPIs and a completed pilot | Validated FDEs who join your payroll | An ecosystem or solution running and measured |
| Who delivers | Your team, with FDE mentors | MPFORALL with your team | Your new hires | An MPFORALL FDE cell |
| Who owns the outcome | Shared | MPFORALL, for the model and the pilot | Your organisation, with our initial support | MPFORALL, against agreed KPIs |
| When it fits | You want in-house FDE capability | You do not yet know where an FDE fits | You want FDEs on your payroll | You need results without growing headcount |
| Typical duration | Set per case [TO CONFIRM] | Set by scope [TO CONFIRM] | Set by profile [TO CONFIRM] | Usually several months, in phases [TO CONFIRM] |
Methodology
One five-phase methodology
Discover → Design → Deploy → Measure → Scale or transfer. The same across all four lines: what changes is who delivers, not how.
Phase 1Discover
An FDE joins your operation: a map of participants, processes and data, and opportunities ranked by impact.
Phase 2Design
The ecosystem or operating model: Lobees modules, workflows, KPIs and a pilot plan.
Phase 3Deploy
Built in phases, with weekly releases and real users from the very first phase.
Phase 4Measure
Agreed KPIs, feedback from every participant and data-driven improvement.
Phase 5Scale or transfer
We extend the ecosystem to more participants, or hand the capability over to your team.
Deliverables at every phase
Each phase ends with something tangible: a map, a design, a release in production, a report.
Data-driven decisions
At the end of each phase you decide whether to continue, adjust or stop, against the agreed KPIs.
Handover planned in
From the start we plan whether we run the result or your team does.
