# How the FDE connects technology and operations in practice

The Forward Deployed Engineer connects technology and operations by working inside the client's company — mapping real processes, building solutions in the correct context, and delivering results without the distance that normally separates IT from the business.

## Why technology and operations are usually out of sync

In many companies, whoever decides on technology doesn't operate — and whoever operates doesn't configure. This gap produces projects that stay on paper, implementations that don't reflect day-to-day reality, and tools the team doesn't use.

The FDE eliminates that gap by being present on both sides at the same time.

## How the FDE operates in practice

- Works on-site or remotely inside the client's operation
- Maps real processes, not documented ones
- Prioritizes by operational impact — not by technical complexity
- Configures, tests, and adjusts with the team that will use the solution
- Ensures the internal team knows how to operate after they leave

## Where connecting technology and operations generates the most value

- Automations that need specific business rules to work
- AI agents that need to understand the company's vocabulary and workflows
- Integrations between ERP, CRM, and operational tools
- Critical processes where human error generates real costs

## Why Jestor solves this

- Jestor was built to be configured by the people who operate — ideal for the FDE profile
- Over 400 native automations eliminate the need for intermediate code
- The Agent Builder allows the FDE to create process-specific agents in hours
- Clients like Rumo and BTG Pactual already combine FDE and Jestor for critical operations
