Building an enterprise file sharing platform means writing custom software so your organization can securely store, share, and manage files — across teams, departments, and outside partners. Dropbox and Google Drive aren't built for this. You need granular permissions, encryption at rest and in transit, compliance audit trails, and clean hooks into your existing identity providers and business systems. Consumer tools just don't get you there.

Questions fréquentes
How long does it take to build a custom enterprise file sharing platform?
Most projects run 10–14 weeks from kickoff to deployment. The main variables are how many compliance frameworks you're targeting, how many identity providers need integrating, and whether you need features like data rooms or real-time collaboration. We scope everything upfront — you won't hit a timeline surprise six weeks in.
Can you build a file sharing platform that's HIPAA compliant?
Yes. We architect HIPAA requirements in from the start — encryption at rest and in transit, access controls, audit logging, automatic session timeouts, BAA-ready infrastructure. We've built compliant platforms for healthcare organizations handling PHI at scale, so this isn't something we're figuring out as we go.
How is a custom platform better than using SharePoint or Box?
Off-the-shelf tools bend your workflows to fit their constraints. A custom platform gives your compliance team the exact permission models, audit formats, and integrations they actually need. You also stop paying per-seat licensing costs that compound as you grow — custom builds typically pay for themselves within 18 months.
What encryption standards do you implement?
AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit are the baseline. For high-security environments, we implement zero-knowledge encryption where the platform never touches decryption keys. Key management integrates with AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, or your existing HSM.
Can the platform integrate with our existing SSO and directory?
Absolutely. We build native SAML 2.0 and OIDC integrations for Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, OneLogin, and others. SCIM handles automatic provisioning and deprovisioning when employees join or leave — which means no orphaned accounts sitting open after someone's last day.
What happens after launch? Do you provide ongoing support?
Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support: bug fixes, performance monitoring, security patching. After that, we offer monthly retainer plans for ongoing feature development, infrastructure management, and compliance updates as regulations shift. The code is yours regardless.
