High-performance, flexible and sustainable applications with Java

With more than two decades of experience in custom application development, Smile has established itself as a key leader in Java technology in France. Thanks to the power of the Spring framework, we guarantee the rapid delivery of high value-added applications that are robust, high-performance and secure.

Java: the cornerstone of enterprise applications

Java, a compiled, object-oriented programming language, is used on billions of devices around the world. Its longevity and continued technological relevance make it a top choice for enterprise software development. But that's not all! Java's functionalities enable it to meet many of the technological needs of businesses, making it the ideal solution for creating mission-critical applications:  

• Interoperability: Companies need to connect heterogeneous applications, whether legacy systems or new cloud platforms. Java, with its vast ecosystem and open standards, facilitates integration between different technologies and guarantees optimum interoperability.
• Complex, mission-critical projects: Organisations managing mission-critical systems, such as banks, insurance companies, manufacturers and telecoms operators, need to rely on reliable, proven technology. Java is renowned for its stability and its ability to support large workloads while guaranteeing the security and scalability of applications.
• Scalable, maintainable applications: A major challenge for businesses is to develop applications that remain high-performance and easy to upgrade over time. Thanks to its robust object model, wide choice of frameworks and upward compatibility, Java can be used to create solutions that are durable and maintainable over the long term.
• Performance and management of large volumes of data: Companies handling large amounts of data, whether in industry, logistics or the media, need high-performance, optimised solutions. Java, with its advanced JVM optimisation and tools such as Spring Boot and Quarkus, offers performance tailored to the requirements of modern systems.

Smile's Java expertise

Thanks to our community of experts, we can meet any challenge and adapt our approach to the specific needs of each customer, whether it's a simple project or a large-scale complex system or a microservices' architecture deployed in the cloud or an on-premise solution. Our flexibility and know-how enable us to support you by guaranteeing performance, security and innovation, while integrating perfectly with the existing technological environment and working methods. Whether SAFe, Agile or V-cycle, we promote fluid collaboration and frictionless integration into our customers' processes.

Our Java expertise goes hand in hand with a mastery of modern front-end technologies such as Angular, Next.js, React.js and Vue.js, which enable us to create high-performance, intuitive interfaces. We also integrate a rich technological ecosystem including Kafka, Kubernetes and many others, to ensure seamless interoperability and optimal adaptation to existing infrastructures.

Finally, our product approach and vertical expertise (data, AI, cloud, etc.) maximise the value of our technology investments and strengthen our customers' confidence by offering them innovative, long-term solutions.

Our approach goes beyond Java

Our credo is to help SMEs and major accounts to modernise their information systems and internal processes, using our flexible Consulting-UX-Technology approach to improve their business performance.

Thanks to this approach, Java is not limited to a simple technological choice: it unleashes the potential of uses! In this way, the technological product stimulates innovation among users (often employees of our customers) and provides valuable decision-making data that can be exploited in customised dashboards for the business.

We also attach paramount importance to the user experience (UX and UI) to ensure that our applications are well adopted and offer exceptional value and ergonomics to their users.
