4 things to consider before hiring a .NET Development Partner
Every business nowadays is tech-enabled and if you plan to scale your business, the obvious choice would be to invest more in your tech development processes. It does not matter which industry you belong to, the right development partner can be the biggest asset to you.
Microsoft .NET is one such technology framework which you can rely on for developing quality, reliable, and scalable applications for the various platforms. Using .NET framework, you can create a wide range of applications, right from CRMs, accounting applications, inventory and warehouse applications to websites, mobile apps, and XML web services.
To find a reliable .NET development partner, some key factors that you should consider are:
1. Quality of Developers
It is important to know that the company you are selecting has an appropriate team of quality .NET developers who are able to provide services that meet your specific needs. They must be able to develop applications from scratch as well as able to transform the current application to its updated version.
2. Credibility of the company
Ensure that the company has a professional infrastructure and a real office. Businesses operating from a house or other such establishments won’t be professional in their approach. Also look for quality certifications such as ISO 9000 or CMMI, which ensure the quality and maturity of their software development processes and methodologies.
Also make sure that the company you are hiring has more than one .NET expert, who can pitch in if the resource working on your project is not available. It’s a sort of backup plan you should always keep in mind.
3. Experience
Experience is one of the most significant criteria while choosing a company to take the reins of your web application development project.
Check out the total experience of the company in handling .NET projects. Experience would garner good ROI and exceed your project development expectations. It also reflects the capability of the service provider. Considering experience initially would save you from the hassles during the development process.
4. Development Support for Mobility
Even if a company has expertise in .NET technology there will be a lot of project requirements where the applications need a mobile arm to reach out to maximum number of users. This will require integration with technologies such as iOS, Android and HTML5.
ASP.NET is capable of powering mobile apps and responsive design frameworks with VS 2013. Therefore, the .NET development company should be well aware of working with the following:
- Working with mobile features in an ASP.NET MVC 4 application
- Adding mobile pages to ASP.NET Web Forms/ MVC application
- Building mobile websites with ASP.NET MVC
- Developing iPhone, Android, Windows Phone apps with ASP.NET
Care should be taken to select an expert .NET development company that satisfies the specific eligibility criteria as well as takes up the challenges of development like a true partner.
