Forward Deployed Engineer as a Service

The FDE Team You Can’t Afford to Build

IDS delivers world-class Forward Deployed Engineers who embed with your customers’ teams to solve complex technical challenges, accelerate implementation, and drive measurable business outcomes—without the overhead of building an internal FDE team.

Why Enterprise Deals Die (And How FDEs Fix It)

SaaS Companies

The Death Spiral:

That $2M enterprise deal? Dead because they need custom integrations your product team won’t touch. Building an FDE team costs more than the deal is worth.

Enterprise Software Vendors

The Implementation Graveyard:

Your software works great—until customers try to deploy it. Failed implementations kill renewals faster than bugs kill demos.

Growing Tech Companies

The Catch-22:

Enterprise customers want proof you can handle their complexity. But you can’t afford the specialized team that would give them confidence.
