Editorial byPhilippe Finkel,Founder of Cantor
“In 1996, I decided to create Cantor with technological diversity as a core value. My aim is to find solutions to real needs by placing people at every level.”
As an employee developer and then a freelancer in the field of microanalysis and computer linguistics, I have always wanted to be further upstream in projects. I wanted to be involved in the structuring choices made by clients and to have a 360° vision of projects.
Since the beginning of Cantor, I have made sure that I offer great satisfaction to our clients and also to the whole team by working on diversified and innovative projects.
As I often say, the Cantor team is a team of generalist experts! I have always wanted the entire R&D team to evolve beyond technologies and to reinvent itself every day.
It is with this philosophy that Cantor’s range of expertise and services was born: Data 360, Development, TMA.
“Each of us is upstream of the projects to better understand customer issues. This is the only way to be a force of proposal and to develop quality projects”
Teamwork and the development of everyone’s skills is also a very strong pillar at Cantor.
We often work in pairs: one senior and one junior.
This simple recipe allows the juniors to grow very quickly and the seniors to develop on a daily basis. Cutting-edge training of our teams is to remain a priority at Cantor.
I also devote part of my time to giving courses in object-oriented programming (OOP) and Design Patterns, in software engineering.
I supervise engineers’ end-of-study projects and I am a VAE (validation of acquired experience) pedagogical referent at the University of Paris Est Marne la Vallée (UPEM) and at ESIPE (engineering school with a vocational sandwich course).
“Connecting school and the world of work is essential for me. It is also a source of inspiration to continue to develop Cantor and stay connected to future developments in technology and markets.”
