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 software consulting 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 .net 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 an 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.
