Continuously evolving opportunities and risks

Current challenges of web platforms

Leaders of web platforms, such as social networks, gaming companies, dating sites, tourism sites, and advertising companies, have long known that investors are only interested in the most ambitious.

When it comes to marketing, everything depends on acquisition. In this context, the product and technical teams know what’s expected of them – transform quickly, then retain and increase the commitment of users through continuous change. Front-end is king, DevOps is the key word. But, with data privacy laws on one end and hackers on the other – new challenges arise.

Examples of completed projects

At Pentalog, we deliver web platform solutions throughout the entire development lifecycle. Our teams help digital businesses worldwide create core business solutions from product strategy and UX to development, DevSecOps and support.

Our clients are worldwide. From the world’s premier dating application, a leading tourism site, to several top ten EdTech companies, and a leading French real estate company, our customers span the globe – from the US to France, Germany, Austria and the UK.

From over 300 web platform projects, here are two examples of our services:

Sharalike is the Boston-based creator of various innovative photo and video editing apps, such as Sharalike, Instantify, Sharalike VR, and V360.  Initially launched as a technical consulting mission to help them define their platform architecture and build a Proof of Concept, the partnership between Sharalike and Pentalog turned into a 5-year collaboration during which our teams supported the client’s JAVA back-end and iOS/Android mobile development needs. Sharalike now has apps available for Android, iOS, and Oculus VR. Combined with their desktop version, Sharalike’s products boast over 1.3 million downloads across all platforms.

Rue de la Paye offers clients outsourced processing services and payroll management consulting. In their pursuit to become a market leader, the company turned to Pentalog for the urbanization of its information system. Once we carried out a technical audit of the system and established an action plan, we dedicated four teams to the project: a local PHP team, a Java team that worked on-site with the client in Bucharest, an infrastructure team, and a Growth Hacking team. Rue de la Paye’s platform now manages over 5,000 files daily.
