A word about your job and your team ?<\/h2>\n

\u201cI come from the industry, which inspired me to set up new Agile processes at K4, and more precisely a new organization for the dev team. Today, I am the company\u2019s CTO and I manage a R&D division that is organized in a project mode, with 5 project leaders who handle the clients\u2019 requests ; those project managers have a strong expertise to support our customers and they also work with an Application Manager, a Level 1 Support Manager, a Quality Manager, and a Process & Tools Managers who sets up the developing environments and testing platforms. I want the developing process to be transverse, based on a functional approach. key4events now has a great machine, our K4 Software Factory, ready to meet big challenges and our clients\u2019 highest expectations!\u201d[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=\u201c1309\u201d animation=\u201cNone\u201d hover_animation=\u201cnone\u201d alignment=\u201ccenter\u201d border_radius=\u201c3px\u201d box_shadow=\u201csmall_depth\u201d image_loading=\u201clazy-load\u201d max_width=\u201c100%\u201d max_width_mobile=\u201cdefault\u201d el_class=\u201carticle-image\u201d][vc_column_text css_animation=\u201cnone\u201d el_class=\u201carticle-main-text\u201d]\n<\/p>

Two words about your daily work ?<\/h2>\n

\u201cFor K4, developing is about two types of tools. On one side, you have the software to be developed precisely for our clients, based on requirements specification. On the other side, there are internal applications that we use to set up our solutions for congresses and other types of events. From access monitoring to the management of the abstracts. All these applications need to evolve in order to remain competitive and meet the market\u2019s needs. Overall, my dev team of 15 collaborators is fully invested in those missions ! During busy times, we may even need help from partners in France or Asia. Today, despite the crisis, we are hiring : a DotNET developer<\/a>, if you may know one.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=\u201c1308\u201d animation=\u201cNone\u201d hover_animation=\u201cnone\u201d alignment=\u201ccenter\u201d border_radius=\u201c3px\u201d box_shadow=\u201csmall_depth\u201d image_loading=\u201clazy-load\u201d max_width=\u201c100%\u201d max_width_mobile=\u201cdefault\u201d el_class=\u201carticle-image\u201d][vc_column_text css_animation=\u201cnone\u201d el_class=\u201carticle-main-text\u201d]\n<\/p>

Three words about what\u2019s at stake right now ?<\/h2>\n

\u00ab With Covid-19, our developers are mobilized and really busy ! Which is quite paradoxical, if I may say. But our clients\u2019 projects are at stake here : some of them are big European scientific associations willing to go on with the development of their tools, looking forward to getting back to work when the crises is over. Because events are not dead ! Obviously, all this activity at K4 is managed remotely : work from home has soon become effective and the teams talk to each other through Skype, Slack, WhatsApp\u2026 We have regular conf calls to keep rhythm in this usual organization. Alongside those projects, we are also getting ready for K4\u2019s own \u2018back-to-school\u2019: our application for access control will be improved ; we also work on some confidential innovation projects ; and we are about to redesign key4register, our ERP software for event organization. New look, new functionalities. We will have an updated version in September, and a brand-new tool to start the year 2021. \u00bb[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=\u201cin_container\u201d full_screen_row_position=\u201cmiddle\u201d column_margin=\u201cdefault\u201d column_direction=\u201cdefault\u201d column_direction_tablet=\u201cdefault\u201d column_direction_phone=\u201cdefault\u201d scene_position=\u201ccenter\u201d text_color=\u201cdark\u201d text_align=\u201cleft\u201d row_border_radius=\u201cnone\u201d row_border_radius_applies=\u201cbg\u201d id=\u201carticle_block\u20114\u201d overlay_strength=\u201c0.3\u201d gradient_direction=\u201cleft_to_right\u201d shape_divider_position=\u201cbottom\u201d bg_image_animation=\u201cnone\u201d shape_type=\u201c\u201d][vc_column column_padding=\u201cno-extra-padding\u201d column_padding_tablet=\u201cinherit\u201d column_padding_phone=\u201cinherit\u201d column_padding_position=\u201call\u201d background_color_opacity=\u201c1\u201d background_hover_color_opacity=\u201c1\u201d column_shadow=\u201cnone\u201d column_border_radius=\u201cnone\u201d column_link_target=\u201c_self\u201d gradient_direction=\u201cleft_to_right\u201d overlay_strength=\u201c0.3\u201d width=\u201c1\/1\u201d tablet_width_inherit=\u201cdefault\u201d tablet_text_alignment=\u201cdefault\u201d phone_text_alignment=\u201cdefault\u201d column_border_width=\u201cnone\u201d column_border_style=\u201csolid\u201d bg_image_animation=\u201cnone\u201d][vc_gallery type=\u201cimage_grid\u201d images=\u201c1310,1309,1308,1311\u201d layout=\u201c2\u201d masonry_style=\u201ctrue\u201d bypass_image_cropping=\u201ctrue\u201d item_spacing=\u201cdefault\u201d gallery_style=\u201c7\u201d load_in_animation=\u201cperspective\u201d][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
