[What you need]

Your departments run several digital projects in parallel: overhauling internal tools, AI initiatives, critical migrations. Each one needs specialist skills, available straight away, while an internal hire often takes months. Your IT needs shift with your priorities, and your internal resources are inevitably limited.

We give you access to a pool of senior specialists, ready within 2 weeks and managed to your group's standards. You build your teams project by project, adjust them as your priorities change, and keep a consolidated view of your commitments.

[Our engagement models]

How we work with you

Embedded specialists

One or more experts join your team and work alongside it as full members, on site or remotely. They adopt its tech stack, rituals and tools from day one, then ramp up across its scope. A Galadrim engagement manager oversees the work.

Ideal when one of your teams needs to strengthen a specific skill on a project.

Dedicated cross-functional team

We put together a complete team (product manager, designer, engineers, data) that owns the scope from start to finish and delivers business value continuously. It slots in smoothly, starting gradually so it can adopt your standards. An engagement manager runs the whole team and is accountable for our commitments.

Ideal when a product or strategic area needs to move forward without overloading your internal teams.

Group-wide expertise

An expert, or a small group of specialists, sits at group level and works with your different teams on demand, through short assignments. That way you spread rare expertise consistently across the group from a single person, brought in at exactly the right level.

Ideal when several of your departments need the same rare skill (data, security, AI, platform).

[How we operate]

A structured, flexible and long-term partnership

Built into your governance

A dedicated engagement manager sits on your steering committees, is accountable for the contractual commitments and remains your single point of contact. Your teams stay in control without managing individual contributors day to day.

Continuous visibility

We agree the KPIs with you before we start. Progress, team composition and budget spent against forecast are tracked in real time on a shared dashboard, aligned with your group's reporting.

Gradual ramp-up

We start gradually, and the team scales up or down as your needs change. With a volume commitment, a stable team stays dedicated to your group, ready straight away for your new projects.

Technical knowledge retained

Knowledge of your systems builds up from one assignment to the next: documentation kept up to date, named points of contact, history preserved. Your teams stay in control of what has been built.

Large companies we work with over the long term

Contract cateringCompass Group France

Embedding a dedicated tech and AI team

Compass Group France, a highly decentralised contract catering company, was making a strategic pivot to turn tech and AI into an operational lever for its business teams. Galadrim built and runs a multidisciplinary tech and AI team of four, embedded on site on a time-and-materials basis. The team rolls out automations and AI agents on the group's priority use cases.

Commercial propertyMercialys

Scoping and rolling out AI for a listed commercial property company

Mercialys, a listed commercial property company, wanted to make AI an operational lever and give its approach a clear structure. Galadrim scoped the transformation from start to finish: a steering committee, a roadmap prioritised by ROI, then four agents deployed in six months (contract analysis, internal chatbot, investment memo generation, automated market monitoring). An approach rooted in how the teams actually work.

Nuclear industrySPIE Nucléaire

Modernising a critical IT system without interrupting operations

A major player in the nuclear industry, working on new-build sites and on maintenance at operating plants, SPIE Nucléaire was replacing its legacy management application while keeping a critical business running. Galadrim designed a new tool covering capacity, work orders, clearances and site tracking. It is deployed on SPIE's infrastructure and integrated into its existing ecosystem. We carried out the transition in increments, alongside day-to-day activity, so the service never stopped.

Engineering and major projectsVinci Construction

Optimising rail worksite planning

Every day, Vinci Construction assigns thousands of workers, machines and locomotives across its rail worksites, under overlapping operational constraints. Galadrim built a planning engine based on combinatorial optimisation, integrated into its internal tool. It automatically proposes optimised schedules for the teams to approve.

[Why Galadrim?]

Why do large corporates trust us with their digital projects?

Proven expertise

800+ clients and 9 years' experience, across more than 25 sectors, including the most heavily regulated environments.

One of the most selective hiring processes in the industry

Fewer than 0.5% of applicants make it through, after an algorithms test, a technical interview and a practical exercise. Our people are Galadrim employees, trained in-house, from Polytechnique, ENS, Centrale, HEC and Penninghen.

Line management stays with Galadrim

An engagement manager sets our consultants' objectives, oversees their ramp-up and manages their career development. You set the direction on priorities and on the work itself.

An exit plan written into the contract

Auditable milestones, a complete handover kit with up-to-date repositories, deployment scripts and API specifications, and paired handover sessions. Your teams or a third-party provider take over whenever you decide.

Bringing people in-house, made easier

When someone has proved themselves on your products and wants to join you, we organise their recruitment and the transition. The terms are agreed upfront, in the contract.

[FAQ]

A few questions our clients often ask

Two Galadrim engineers in front of a screen of code

Both, depending on the project. On time and materials, you steer the scope as you go and we bill for time spent, recorded in an activity report that you approve. On a fixed price, we commit to a deliverable and a deadline. A single arrangement can combine both.

Two weeks. That covers selecting the right people for your technical and business context, briefing them and bringing them into the team concerned. With a volume commitment, a stable team stays available for your new projects.

Yes. Each project gets its own team and engagement manager, and reporting can be consolidated at group level if your departments wish.

That's up to your rules. Our people work at your premises, from our offices in Paris, Nantes and Lyon, or a mix of both. We agree the rhythm during scoping, taking account of your access and security clearance requirements.

Each consultant produces an activity report that you approve. We invoice on the basis of these approved timesheets, and you can see days used against planned budget at all times.

Yes. We take part in your supplier onboarding procedures and framework agreements, and we provide the documents you expect: social security compliance certificates, a professional indemnity insurance certificate, and CSR and security commitments.

Signed confidentiality agreements, compliance with your access rules and clearances, and security built in from the design stage. Hosting is matched to your requirements, up to and including sovereign cloud offerings, and data processing complies with the GDPR.

Team stability is a contractual commitment. If someone leaves, we organise their replacement and the transfer: a documented handover, pair programming sessions, and a walk-through of the business context. We take care of the recruitment and the transition.

You do. Source code, mock-ups, documentation and agent configurations belong to you with every delivery. The assignment of rights is written into the contract from day one.

Each engagement is sized to fit, based on the people involved and the volume of work. After an initial conversation about your context, we send you an estimate within 24 hours.
