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
