Code & architecture audit
Assessing code quality, technical debt, maintainability, security, dependencies and architectural consistency.
What we deliver
From first idea to live service
An IT project can start with an idea, a problem to solve, a system that has become hard to change — or simply a question: what is the right way forward?
eletec steps in at different points in a project: study, design, development, artificial intelligence, management, audit, team support or training.
We can take on a complete assignment, or step in occasionally when an outside view or a specific skill is needed.
01 — Engineering
Design, build and evolve your applications
Successful development does not start with choosing a language or a framework. It starts with a proper understanding of the need, of what exists and of the constraints the solution will have to live with.
We work from the preliminary study through to production: scoping, architecture, development, integration, documentation and support through deployment.
We can also take over an existing application, analyse its code and propose a realistic path to maintain, modernise or replace it.
- Feasibility study and technical scoping
- Functional and technical analysis
- Software architecture and technology choices
- Writing or reviewing specifications
- Business applications, web and services
- APIs, databases and systems integration
- Process automation
- Modernising existing applications
- Code and maintainability audit
- Support through go-live
Technologies used today
- Python
- JavaScript / TypeScript
- React
- PHP
- C# / .NET
- SQL
- C / C++
- Java
- Rust
- Swift
Existing environments & legacy applications
Long development experience also lets us work on older applications and increasingly rare environments: Pascal, Objective-C, RPG / IBM i, ASP and other historical technologies. That knowledge is particularly useful on takeover, audit or modernisation projects.

02 — Artificial intelligence
Bring in AI where it genuinely helps
Artificial intelligence becomes genuinely interesting once it is part of everyday work: the company’s data, documents, applications and processes. So we start by identifying the problem to solve and the level of reliability expected. We can then experiment quickly, measure the results and decide whether going further makes sense.
Scoping
Identify the uses that bring enough value to justify the investment.
Search & knowledge
Let your teams question documents, knowledge bases and internal information — and get answers they can verify and trace back to a source.
Assistants & agents
Build assistants that can not only answer, but also use certain tools or carry out actions when the context allows it.
Security & governance
Keep control of the data being sent, of access rights, costs, confidentiality and regulatory obligations.
03 — Project management
Keeping the project on track
An IT project is not just a schedule. It means getting people with different priorities to work together, translating business needs into technical decisions, making trade-offs when constraints appear, and reacting when reality drifts from the original plan.
eletec can act as technical lead, project manager or short-term support to an existing team. We also step into projects already under way when the situation needs taking in hand.
- Scoping and functional analysis
- Help writing the specification
- Analysing and comparing tender responses
- Validating technical choices
- Planning and budget tracking
- Coordinating contributors
- Tracking risks and decisions
- Change support
- Project reporting and communication
- Rescuing projects in difficulty
A few examples
- Tape à l’Œil — scoping and support for a digital platform: specifications, tender and project follow-up.
- Auchan Intranet France — supporting the intranet roll-out across 125 hypermarkets and leading the France project.
- Auchan International Technologie — defining a method for rolling out HR solutions across several countries.
- Groupe ADC — supporting the roll-out of a production management platform.
When a project stalls, the problem is not always where you look for it. A technical disagreement can hide an unclear responsibility, a decision never taken, or simply information that travels badly.
Our role is also to surface those difficulties early enough to act.
04 — Audit & advisory
Understanding what works. And what no longer does.
A project in difficulty often produces plenty of explanations and few certainties. We start by establishing the facts.
Code, architecture, documentation, organisation, planning, contracts, decisions taken or never taken: we examine what matters before forming a diagnosis.
The aim is not to point a finger. It is to understand what is blocking and to propose a realistic way forward.
Project & tender audit
Analysing commitments, organisation, planning, costs, risks and supplier proposals.
Independent advisory & follow-up
Giving the client an independent technical view on key decisions and on the running of the project.
Getting people back around the table
When the client–supplier relationship has broken down: rebuild a shared diagnosis, clarify responsibilities and find a workable way out.
Assessing an artificial intelligence system
Measuring the real quality of the answers, the relevance of the data used, the costs, the security and the terms of use.
Decide before investing
Does this project deserve to start? Now? In this form? A short study can sometimes prevent a large investment heading the wrong way.
05 — Coaching & support
When the difficulty is no longer only technical
Projects bring together people with different trades, responsibilities and constraints. When pressure rises, technical difficulties can mix with communication problems, disagreements, resistance to change or a loss of trust between the parties.
Our engineering experience, complemented by training in coaching and listening, lets us work on that human side of the project too.
The aim is not to stand in for management. It is to help people and teams understand what is blocking, regain room to manoeuvre and move forward again.
- Individual coaching
- Coaching project teams
- Coaching managers
- Handling tense situations
- Preparing difficult conversations or decisions
- Change support
- Short-term support during an overload or a crisis
How support works
- Understand — clarifying the situation, the expectations and the frame of the support.
- Surface — identifying what blocks, the recurring difficulties and the points where action is possible.
- Choose — identifying the changes or actions that can genuinely move the situation forward.
- Experimenting — putting those leads into practice in daily work and observing their effects.
- Regaining independence — consolidating what works so the support can come to an end.
Coaching replaces neither management nor technical expertise. It helps people recover their ability to analyse, decide and act.
06 — Training
Learning on real situations
Training is far more useful when it starts from the tools, data and problems participants actually meet. So we build each session around the teams’ level and the company’s context.
Training can cover software development, databases, ways of working, or the new professional uses of artificial intelligence.
- Development — C, C++, C#, .NET, PHP, JavaScript, Python, SQL and other technologies as needed.
- Data — databases, SQL, design and modelling.
- Artificial intelligence — understanding what today’s tools can and cannot do, framing requests better, checking results and bringing AI into everyday work.
- Business training — building learning paths, simulators and teaching material tailored to the company’s internal processes.
Training references
- Agfa — training in C++ systems development.
- Microsoft France — creation of a multimedia training module.
- France Télécom — training in systems development on Unix.
- Auchan — design of business e-learning modules for several thousand users (up to 3,000 learners per module).
Frequent questions
Before we start
Yes.
We work throughout France and internationally, and a large part of the work can be done remotely. For certain assignments — scoping, workshops, or sensitive phases of a project — being on site is still preferable.
We are tied to no vendor.
That lets us choose a solution based on the need, what already exists, the budget and the technical constraints — rather than on a commercial partnership.
With a conversation.
The aim of the first exchange is to understand your situation and decide whether we can genuinely help.
When the subject allows, we then propose a scope, deliverables, a timeline and a budget.
Yes.
We normally start by establishing where things stand: what works, what can be kept, what needs fixing and which risks have to be dealt with first.
From that diagnosis we set out the possible scenarios, with their consequences in terms of cost, timescale and risk.
The size of the company is not the main criterion.
A simple, well-targeted use can deliver a great deal with limited investment. Conversely, an ambitious project with unsuitable data and no precise objective can quickly become expensive.
So we start by assessing the intended use and the benefit expected.
No.
Depending on the need, we can use open models running locally, European cloud services, or the APIs of the main providers.
The choice depends in particular on the quality expected, the confidentiality of the data, cost, performance and integration options.
Not sure yet which approach to choose?
Just describe your situation. We will start by understanding the problem and tell you which approach seems most useful — including when that approach needs no significant engagement.
