.NET Experts On Tap

When you are building software sometimes you just need to be able to ask someone a simple question. Or you need some help working through a design or debugging some code. Sometimes you just need to bounce an idea off of somebody.

For a small monthly retainer you can give your development team direct access to the Ardent team of experienced software developers via phone, email, and instant messaging: .NET experts on tap! We can also arrange for onsite visits with your developers for in-person training and/or to help out with architecture, design, coding, debugging, and deployment.

Sign up for .NET Experts on Tap: info@ardentdev.com.

ROI Is King

The return on investment for mentoring and training services is critically important. We understand that. That is why the .NET Experts On Tap program is designed to provide high value at a reasonable price. Our use-it-when-you-need-it style of service helps keep your projects on schedule without getting in the way or adding overhead to your process.

Consider a simple scenario: Two developers are earning $75,000 per year each. They hit a tough problem and spend two days spinning their wheels trying to figure it out. That is $1100+ (just in salaries) spent doing unproductive work. A call into our team of .NET experts could have helped those developers work through their problem in a few hours, saving time and money (and keeping the project on schedule).

The Approach

.NET Experts On Tap bridges the gap between training and consulting. Our role is to help your team get its job done. You can ask questions, pose problems, and even throw a coding assignment over the fence to us. We can also recommend resources to study and hands-on exercises to try for continuous learning.

Hands-on experience is fundamental when learning technical concepts. Instead of condensing the learning experience into a short classroom experience, the .NET Experts On Tap program gives your development team the chance to master .NET technologies over many days, weeks, or months with continuous access to .NET experts. You can stick up your virtual hand anytime and ask away!

But even our experts don't know everything. We won't bluff and we won't waste your time. If your primary mentor is as stuck as you are, he/she will pose the scenario to the rest of the Ardent Development team. If the problem cannot be solved at that level, we will tap into our extended community to find the answer you need. We know hundreds of other industry experts including Microsoft Regional Directors, Microsoft MVPs, Microsoft employees, and more.

The Nitty Gritty

The .NET Experts On Tap program is available in increments of 5 hours per month starting at just $500 USD per month. When you sign up for .NET Experts On Tap you are assigned a mentor who will begin the process of getting to know your development team and projects. You will then have access to your mentor / coach by email, phone, IM, and desktop sharing (e.g., LiveMeeting).
