Windows Phone 7 Technical Specialist Consulting

Overview

The Readify WP7 Application Development Service is the most comprehensive way to develop an application on the Windows Phone 7 platform. Our team of recognised mobile experts will work with you to identify your business drivers, determine functional requirements, and develop the application. Once tested, we upload this to the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace on your behalf.

Mobile Strategy

The Windows Phone 7 platform is the newest smartphone platform in a growing market. As an organisation, we're a committed Microsoft Gold Partner, and develop solely on .NET. However, we recognise that our clients need a comprehensive mobile strategy to interact with their customers, partners, and employees. We have significant experience in developing solutions for all of the mobile platforms.

To meet this growing demand, our consultants either develop solutions in .NET for other platforms using vendor approved tools, such as Novell's MonoTouch™; or create a dedicated Mobile Website using ASP.NET, according to your application specific requirements. Often we find our clients begin with a mobile web strategy, then later develop native applications with the extra features this avails (e.g. location awareness). We prioritise smartphone platforms for native applications according to customer adoption of the mobile website, as well as market adoption of smartphone platforms.

How the Service Works

Time and Materials Consulting

We structure the WP7 Application Development Service according to your most pressing requirements. If you just need to bolster your .NET development team with an experienced Mobile Development Specialist, we will provide a consultant whom will readily adapt to your tooling and development methodologies.

However, should you wish to develop a complex system of integrated mobile applications, or don't have a team of .Net developers; we will provide a high performing project team to you. Our consultants are versed in the Scrum Agile Methodology, ensuring that you benefit from deliverable code throughout the project lifecycle.

Needs Analysis

A Readify Senior Consultant or Tech Specialist will work with your key stakeholders to scope out the project. Together with your appointed Product Manager we determine the User Stories, estimate how many stories we will develop per iteration, and how many iterations we are likely to need to deliver the fully featured application.

Development

The Readify, or jointly resourced, team then begins developing the system, working closely with the business throughout the development lifecycle. At the end of each iteration you will have deliverable code, working features, and full transparency on outstanding features.

The Readify WP7 Application Development Experience

To date, Readify have delivered this service to a number of clients in the Logistics and Retail sectors. In all cases clients have been delighted at:
