Our Experts

Our expertise stems from our people. We are proud to have eleven Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) within our consultancy team. MVPs are recognised and credible individuals with expertise in Microsoft products.

All of our consulting staff meet stringent levels of proficiency and are continually developing their skills through Readify's Professional Development program. Our consultants demonstrate outstanding problem solving abilities using both managed (C#, VB.NET, C++/CLI) and unmanaged (C++) languages. They specialise in creating rich client applications as well as web-based applications using various tools and technologies available in the .NET platform (i.e. Windows Forms, WPF, Silverlight, ASP.NET, XML Web Services).

When you engage Readify, you leverage the collective skills and experience of the entire Readify team, its knowledge framework, methodologies and strong support from Microsoft.

Our consultants are currently engaged as technical leads on the most complex .NET projects in Australia today, and rank amongst the most authoritative and respected .NET thought leaders worldwide. Many have been involved in Microsoft testing programs as well as influencing the direction of Microsoft product development. They are technically elite and due to their dedication to remaining ahead of Microsoft's product release schedules, they are regularly asked to present at major national and international Microsoft events.
