Are you looking for more involvement with your clients? Want to expand your capabilities?
Partnering with a .NET specialist will increase the types and load of work you can offer, it is cheaper and more flexible than building your own development team, and if done right can give you that elusive competitive edge within your market.
A software development partnership opens the possibility of offering web apps, mobile apps, and other software solutions. That’s an easy value-add for your clients. Plus, being able to work solely with your company, rather than having to hire a separate development firm, can save a client a lot of time and consolidate communications and expenses, as well. You’re a project manager’s dream come true!
You could hire your own developers but with that, you bring in extra overheads and the additional responsibility of finding them work to keep them busy. A development partner frees you from those burdens, they can be called upon when needed, and for no extra cost, you have brought a more diverse skill set to the table. Any, well most, development partners are experts in their field with a deep understanding which means you can take advantage of that immediately, as opposed to attempting to develop your own experts over a longer period.
The age old saying "two heads are better than one" couldn’t be more true in regards to having two specialist developers with different specialties working together. Painting what may be a familiar image, a client approaches you with a problem, you may not have the time, experience, or know-how to solve it on your own. In comes your development partner who can join forces with you and combine your strengths and experiences with theirs to produce the best solution.
You may even be an agency that offers a full service but you’re at capacity and due to your past success the work keeps piling on, a partner can help take the strain and help you stay on time and keep the quality high. A partner can also step in should a project become more complex than previously assumed or in the unfortunate circumstance of the loss of an employee and you are yet to find a replacement or bring them up to speed.
If your agency doesn’t do development, they can increase the number of services you offer in a flexible manner and at a fraction of the cost of hiring your own team. If you already do some development of your own, you can work together with your partner to increase your versatility and capacity, solve problems you couldn’t tackle independently, and complement each other’s expertise along the way. It’s a match made in heaven.
