#asp application development

One of the defining pillars behind any outsourcing success is the kind of service provider a client has partnered with. It doesn't matter whether this vendor is in the same city or halfway across the globe – they should be capable of delivering what the client wants. Once the most suitable outsourcing company has been selected, the onus of making the outsourcing process work also rests, to a large extent, on the client themselves.

Let's say that a software company has hired a remote .Net developer from India. This is not to be confused with an offshore freelancer but a proper virtual employee – the kind that leading vendors like VirtualEmployee.com specialize in. This virtual .Net programmer would not be working from home (the way freelancers do) but from the well-equipped office of the service provider. While the essential logistics of long-distance outsourcing would be provided by the vendor (the best hardware and latest software, support staff and advanced communication technology), the client also needs to empower their virtual employee with certain essential 'tools' that would go a long way in making the outsourcing venture a true success.

Just what are these 'tools'? In short, the client needs to view the virtual Dot Net developer like any other locally employed member of their team and extend to them the same dedication and planning.

1. Freedom. This is entirely your call and how much freedom you think your virtual .Net development team requires. Of course, this also depends upon the seniority level of the remote employee. An experienced software developer needs minimum hand holding and actually works better with freedom rather than constant 'watching over the shoulder' syndrome.

2. Targets. This is paramount to avoiding ambiguity and missed deadlines. All targets should be clearly defined right at the beginning of the outsourcing process itself. Any sound working relationship thrives only when deadlines and targets are known to both parties concerned so that the common goals are easily achieved.

3. Expectations. What do you expect from your remote asp developers ? Creating .NET system designs and developing applications? Development of web and desktop applications? Migration of web and desktop applications from and to .NET? Development of.NET custom controls? Whatever your expectations, the bottom line is to convey the same to your virtual employee Dot Net developer.

4. Inputs. Despite the number of years of experience your remote software developer possesses, it is your responsibility to provide the necessary inputs in terms of what exactly is needed. .Net is revolutionary technology that allows programmers to create dynamic applications to help connect businesses, employees, customers and partners in a single loop. As a client, you need to specify and give inputs on what applications are needed to boost your online business.

5. Strong communication. The backbone of any successful outsourcing project, the need for a strong communication between a client and their remote employee cannot be overemphasized. The client should draw up a routine whereby they communicate with their .Net developer either every day, weekly or fortnightly – although it is best to stick to either a daily or a weekly patter. Too many long silences can jeopardize the project if doubts and questions go unanswered.

6. Motivation and feedback. Again, a vital 'ingredient' to keep the enthusiasm levels high, especially since there is no physical, face-to-face interaction. Encouragement and virtual pats on the back on a regular basis (of course, if deserving) go a long way in increasing productivity levels of any employee.

Outsource ASP Development and programming to a remote, dedicated employee who works full-time for you or your organization.

The role of ASP developer or programmer is filled with a number of challenging responsibilities and activities. A ASP programmer needs to be well-versed with high level Development techniques. Hiring a freelancer for such a specialized IT function can be fraught with pitfalls – most of them unseen and unanticipated. The best option is to do some internet research and partner with a reliable outsourcing vendor who is capable of providing you with a dedicated human resource – your very own remote employee.

What are the benefits of outsourcing to a full-time dedicated employee who works remotely for you? Several.

1. A full-time employee is a definite advantage over a mere freelancer who is able to part with only a few of his total work hours for you, handling as he does several clients and their assignments. So, your project gets less than the attention you would prefer. A full-time .Net Developer is your very own dedicated resource, just like any other locally hired worker.

2. A remote employee works out of the well-equipped office of the outsourcing vendor, which means that all the latest hardware and software required for ASP development and programming are easily available. A freelancer working from home, usually with limited resources, cannot hope to match such technological prowess.

3. A dedicated remote employee is someone you have selected after a rigorous screening process. Compare this to a freelancer who is usually picked up on the basis of their bids rather than any specific qualifications. So, with a pre screened and well tested remote ASP programmer, you know who you are working with.

4. It is far easier to manage, control and collaborate with a full-time . than it is a offshore freelancer. This is because the vendor's office functions like an offshore extension of your own office, furnished with all the modern means of communication that make it easier for you to interact with your remote employee even several times a day, if need be.

5. Your remote employee is ensured of a 24x7 HR support and IT back up in case of technical glitches, thereby not letting your work get hampered or unnecessarily delayed. A freelancer is always at the mercy of power outages and internet failures and can unwittingly be the reason for work getting horribly delayed or stalled.

6. Data security is never a threat with your virtual employee because the vendor's office has superior software securing technology besides making the employee sign a NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) at the time of joining.
