Partnering with a third-party vendor
for projects that require short-term human capital makes financial sense.
Finding a great partner can be a challenge. A Google search for softwareconsulting companies results in an overwhelming number of results. It is
important to avoid a vendor whose main mission is to serve as a body provider;
you want a partner that shares your values and is willing to share your risks
and rewards. You want a partner with a development team expertise to deliver
solutions you need when you need them, prudently manages your budget, and takes
great pride in what they deliver.
If you put in the effort and find
such a partner, the benefits will pay huge dividends. You will have quickly
expanded your company’s ability to deliver product to market more quickly and
effectively as your partner becomes an extension of your company and
development team.
Some Key factors in choosing a
partner
·
Outline your needs and
expectations; do they meet them.
·
What is their development
methodology?
·
What is their expertise – no one
company can be everything to everyone
·
Talk to their leadership and
development teams
·
Ask tough questions – failed
projects and partnerships, pricing, resource planning
·
Ask for and call on their references
·
Look for red flags – do you feel
any hesitation?
·
Is the partner aligned with your
values and philosophy?
About .Net Technology
.NET (pronounced dot net) is a cross
platform (Windows and Linux) software programming framework that supports
several programming languages. Feature rich integrated development environments
like Visual Studio allow for software development of Windows, Web, and mobile
applications.
With an endless supply of software
development service organizations, it can be difficult to sift through all the
noise. Here are some things to consider when narrowing down your selection.
Credibility:
Research the company’s credibility online and on social media.
Research:
The initial step is to shortlist 3-4 best .net development
companies on the web and perform exhaustive research on them. Additionally, get
some information about them from your references or your colleagues. Usually if
your acquaintance has worked with a company before and has good feedback,
chances are they will be a good fit.
Experience:
We all realize that experience is the best teacher. So, in the
event that you expect a given .net development company to deliver the desired
results in a set time with minimum mistakes, you should pick the organization
that has an appropriate number of years of experience of asp.net development.
Range of Skills:
Ensure that the .Net developers at the .net development company
you have shortlisted, have excellent communication skills coupled with
exemplary technical skills. This helps in seamless communication flow and
develops a great client-vendor relationship.
Expertise:
Ask the shortlisted .net development company about their expertise
in different kinds of products or projects they have worked on in the past.
What is their disaster handling mechanism, downtime handling system and all
other troubleshooting protocols in case the application they built tends to run
into issues.
Cost:
You should have a foreordained
financial plan for getting an application built for your business. Along these
lines, ask them the amount they will charge. Hire a asp.net development company only when they fall within
your stipulated budget and spending plans. Additionally, get some information
about the type and modes of payment to avoid issues later.
Technical Support:
Inquire with the .net development company as to whether they have
a dedicated support team that will continuously support and update your
application.
Congratulations, now that you have narrowed down your selection
criteria and excluded noise and non-partner companies, you can be more
confident in selecting a company from your short list.
