Engineering in India.
Working Together with France.
LughSoftware brings together developers and technical leadership in India with senior coordination in France. We help French businesses develop, maintain and evolve their software through a dedicated team, team extension or a turnkey project.
Our way of working draws on our consultants’ extensive experience collaborating with IT teams in India. Understanding skills, working practices and cultural context helps us connect your business priorities with the team’s day-to-day development.
SKILL. PRECISION. TEAMWORK.
Forging Software Around Your Business
Our name draws inspiration from Lugh, a figure of Irish Celtic mythology renowned for his mastery of many crafts. For us, forging software means combining complementary skills to shape a solution around a real business need.
- Understand before building — Take the time to learn about your users, product and priorities.
- Bring skills together — Connect developers and technical leadership in India with a close understanding of your business in France.
- Work with care — Agree the design, development, testing and delivery responsibilities that your project needs.
This is a collective effort. The team in India is at the heart of development, supported by a working relationship with France built over many years.
We forge software through experience, precision and teamwork.
People Who Know How to Work Together
One Team, Across France and India
Successful collaboration depends on more than individual technical skills. Our organisation brings together developers, a technical lead and senior client coordination, with responsibilities adapted to your project and your existing team.
Developers in India
Our developers work on your software within the agreed scope. Understanding the product, sharing knowledge and working with your development practices are part of helping them contribute to your team.
Technical Leadership in India
A technical lead in India provides a local point of reference for the developers. The role in technical decisions, coordination and reviews is defined around your needs and existing leadership.
Senior Coordination in France
Our French- and English-speaking senior consultants support scoping, architecture, delivery management and the client relationship. Responsibilities are defined around your needs, with a clear link between your organisation and the team in India.
What Makes the Collaboration Work
Long-standing Experience Working with India
Most of our consultants have extensive experience working with IT teams in India. Some have maintained professional relationships there for more than 15 years. This experience helps us understand working practices and cultural context, communicate clearly and build lasting collaboration between France and India.
Communication That Builds Understanding
Technical ability alone does not make a distributed project work. We pay attention to working practices, cultural context and how expectations are expressed. Sharing the business need, checking mutual understanding and making questions visible help turn a brief into work the team can carry forward.
Selective Recruitment
Recruitment is a substantial investment. A campaign can involve around 300 applications and 100 interviews for one hire. The numbers vary by role; the aim is to find people who can contribute technically and work effectively with the team.
Shared Product Context
Developers need to understand what the software is for, who uses it and what must keep working. We organise the exchange of requirements, priorities and feedback so that the team can connect technical work to your business needs.
Close to Your Team
You have a French- and English-speaking point of contact in France. We agree a communication rhythm and, where needed, on-site support. For large projects, this can include a daily presence at your premises under the agreed engagement.
FOR FRENCH BUSINESSES
Development Capacity, With Local Support
We support French businesses, particularly B2B software publishers and SaaS companies, that need development capacity and an organisation to make it effective. You choose how much to delegate, from additional engineers to a fully managed software scope.
OUR WORKING COMMITMENTS
A Clear Basis for Working Together
We start by defining the scope, responsibilities and communication your project needs. The engagement should make clear what the team takes on, where your input is required and how the work will be reviewed.
We agree deliverables, decision ownership and validation points. Regular discussions keep priorities visible and give you a clear opportunity to raise questions and review progress.
Clear Responsibilities & Regular Dialogue
Employment contracts include strict confidentiality obligations and contractual penalties for breaches. We also clarify the access, data handling and confidentiality requirements that apply to each engagement.
