Tailor-Made Development

We can handle any type of custom development project. If you need to:

• Develop a specific project from scratch
• Test an idea (product/market fit or business need)
• Extend the functional scope of an existing application which meets the business need but is complex to upgrade
• Resume development based on source code owned by you
• Port an existing application to newer and maintained technologies in order to make it evolve
• Integrate systems with each other
• Contribute to Free Software components

We will be happy to help you. We can be involved from the project inception and help you set up an architecture and an organization adapted to it. During the execution of the project, besides the code, we can handle the software architecture and the development practices to promote continuous improvement. We can therefore take part in any or all of the project's activities:

• Design
• Development
• Code reviews
• Automated tests
• Continuous integration
• Project management

In agreement with our customers, we try to limit our involvement over time. As soon as our clients wish to become independent on a project, we progressively focus on supervision and code review in order to ensure the autonomy of their teams. We secure the continuation of developments and ensure the strategic independence of our customers.

Tailor-made user-centered design

User experience (UX) is often neglected on projects. It is then left to the mercy of developers who must compromise and perhaps prioritize other aspects. This is felt in in terms of the interface's consistency and quality. Catching up with these situations requires more work than approaching the design on the basis of a user-centered design. This offer completes our tailor-made development offer.

We can assist according to different modalities:

You are launching
We accompany you prior to the developments and design stages with user research (interview, focus group), all the way to the final stages of UI design, integration and continuous improvement?.

You already have a product
We identify with you the elements which need to be improved in order to to introduce changes taking into account the existing context; respecting harmony is our main concern. We recommend for an audit, which could be combined with user tests in order to narrow down the intervention scope and to obtain a way to measure the adjustments made.

You have the desire to it yourself
Not all tasks require the presence of an expert; for the sake of our clients' autonomy, coaching (personalized training) can be considered, for example to implement the results of a previous intervention this option can be combined with the aformentioned ones.

With enioka Haute Couture, developers and designers work hand in hand to deliver an optimal experience. 

You are convinced that user experience plays an important role in the reception and adoption of your products.

Development Expertise

Of course, we are able to develop, but we have accumulated enough experience on different projects to advise you on your developments. Our developers are all seasoned and practicing. They are free of bias on technologies or approaches to be used. At our company, we favor what works in our developments rather than off-the-rack thinking.

Our expertise offers are shorter engagements that can unblock situations on the architecture, design or organization of your projects.

Architectural framing

Our developers are polyglots and know various technical stacks. This means they can help you frame the software architecture of your project. It will involve selecting the most appropriate stack and proposing suitable dependencies... while keeping an eye on the complexity.

They will also be able to design the software architecture according to this framing. Not just to make beautiful cathedrals on paper, but here again your context will be taken into account to set up an architecture that your teams can manage.

Assistance to the design

Our developers can also help with design choices. They can help you explore difficult design issues or simply help you decide between competing options.

The explored options are then accompanied by examples and prototypes to validate our recommendations.

Teams organization and toolings

Development being a "team sport", software design and architecture are nothing without a good organization and adequate tooling to work with. We are able to advise you on these topics and to propose an organization adapted to your project teams.

For this kind of mission, we produce a description of the proposed organization structure and the associated development processes. Regarding the tools, we take care of indicating when they are best used and where are their limits. We can also put these tools in place and facilitate the corresponding organizational changes.

Auditing

In case of doubt or in order to have a first diagnosis, we can simply assess your project. We can investigate software development projects in every angle: from the technical aspects to the organizational aspects. This will lead to recommendations and to an action plan.

We can review the effective software architecture used in your code. We can also study your team's practices by observing, discussing and analyzing the use of source management tools. Finally, we can survey the technologies used, the associated versions and their licenses. For free components, from our experience with open source contributions, we are able to gauge their governance and the resilience of their community.

Tech Coaching

Technical leadership is a comprehensive function in development teams. It requires tech leads who are able to reconcile the technical constraints necessary for quality production with the needs of the business. They are faced with often changing conditions and must therefore regularly challenge themselves. Moving from a developer role to a tech lead role represents a profound change in activities, responsibilities and posture.

We mainly address technical profiles, too often neglected by traditional coaching offers. We provide individualized coaching to help tech leads in their responsibilities.

When to use our services?

If you have:

• A tech lead who is just starting out or in difficulty
• A team that lacks maturity in its development techniques or with strong disparities
• A period of strong team growth which means that yesterday's recipes can no longer be those of tomorrow

Then our coaching offer can help you. We are able to help with many topics related to the fundamentals of development for tech leads:

• Team practices such as refactoring, testing, code review, continuous integration
• Quality, release and complexity management
• Tech lead practices relating to leadership, organization, communication, communication, team management or interactions with project stakeholders

Our strengths

We believe that our involvement should be adapted as much as possible to the local context. That's why our coaches are also active senior developers with an ability to pass on practical experience rather than dogma. They focus on the technical and practical aspects of producing quality software.

We are able to work on site or remotely depending on the needs. The used schedule is in the long-term and monopolizes shorter blocks of time than a training.

The success criteria of our coaching service? Tech leads who are more impactful, able to positively influence their team, and to take into account the needs of the company.
