.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.

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).
