The .NET application framework is a super popular tech stack from Microsoft that’s perfect for those looking for a competitive edge. That’s because .NET is a programming language that’s stable, versatile, and scales seamlessly, especially in the cloud. But like all software development languages, you need highly skilled software developers to help you unlock the power of .NET.
At Inetum, we partner with organizations across the globe to build expert .NET programmer teams. Our solutions are flexible and scalable and can be tailored to help you achieve your business and project objectives. So, if you’re thinking of using .NET to take your business to the next level, here are the steps you need to take with us as your external customer partner.
#1 – Define Your Technology & Application Objectives
Before thinking about how to build a .NET team, you need to be clear on your goals and milestones. Setting this foundation helps to scope out exactly what needs to be done by when and gives you a clear picture of the long-term benefits your project will deliver.
Consider these questions to help you clearly understand your software development objectives.
- Is this a new or existing software requirement?
- What is this application designed to do? What value does it bring to your business?
- Will it be a locally-hosted or cloud-hosted web application solution?
- What’s your budget for this application?
- When will this development need to be completed?
- Is this a simple or complex development? What level of software engineer / software developer will you need? What are your expectations in terms of team composition?
- Will the application only use .NET, or will there be another programming language or tech stack too?
Answering these questions will help you clearly understand what you need from a software solution and set the foundation as you begin to plan your team.
#2 – In-House vs. Outsourced – How to Hire a .NET Engineer?
With your application development requirements set, it’s time to think about how you will source the team required to deliver them. There’s a chance you may have some internal .NET or ASP.NET skills already. If so, that’s great, and you can begin planning how to deliver your project. But the chances are that if you’re reading this article, you don’t have that knowledge in-house.
If this is the case, you’re in the perfect position to take advantage of an external partner’s support. With the .NET and ASP.NET such specialist, cross-platform skillsets, organizations see a range of benefits by engaging with an expert outsourcing partner to deliver their end-to-end .NET software team.
If your software project is a short to medium-term endeavor, outsourcing becomes even more attractive, as you benefit from fast onboarding of expert resources while still maintaining flexibility on cost – something you won’t achieve with internal recruitment!

Once you’re sure that an external resourcing partner is the way to go, we’ll work collaboratively with you to discuss your requirement and plan the best solution. To do this, we’ll ask you a range of questions to determine:
- The right size and structure for your .NET application development team
- The typical responsibilities you need a .NET developer to perform

- The right blend of senior .NET developers, mid-career engineers, and .NET Technical Solution Managers
- Any technical pre-requisites such as .NET code best practices, the need for a .NET PowerShell, or a development environment
- Latest insights and trends from the .NET community.
Our aim here is to ensure understand every aspect of your project so that our .NET web development team can integrate seamlessly into your business. To do this, we consider everything from how many .NET developers you’ll need through to ways of working, what additional roles are necessary for your project (e.g. Business Analysts, Software Tester, DevOps), and software tools.

This structure gives you an optimal blend of professional .NET expertise while balancing cost and performance. During our recruitment and onboarding process, all developers, no matter their level, must complete a live coding assessment written in .NET, so you know you’re getting a team with the technical skills required to deliver your solution.
Our developers build .NET solutions under the supervision of an Inetum Project Manager, who’s also responsible for coaching, personal development, and issues management. Our Project Managers interface directly with our customers ensuring the best results from the first moment of our collaboration.

This ensures you’re always in control of the project, providing us with must-know information to deliver the best results.

Bonus – Frequently Asked Questions
#1 – Is it dot net or .NET?
Many people confuse .NET with the full spelling of dot net, referring to a dot net developer or simply net development. While most people will understand what you mean, it’s worth knowing that .NET is the correct term. You can learn about .NET on Microsoft’s website here.
#2 – What is .NET typically used for?
If you jump to the Microsoft website, you’ll see many different use cases for the .NET developer framework. Businesses use NET developers to create anything from web apps, mobile apps, and desktop apps through to microservices, and even back-end platforms on the cloud.
To achieve this, businesses hire developers with a range of .NET experience, including net core, asp.net core, vb.net, Azure, and WPF. If you’re on the hunt to hire a .NET programmer, make sure you know exactly what you plan to use the framework for, so you can hire the correct skill sets for your development project.
#3 – What makes a great .NET developer?
Tech companies are always looking for developers who know how to use .NET. But a truly great .NET developer has a range of other skills too. They need to be able to code efficiently in other languages such as C, as well as have a broad knowledge of how application run, both in the web-based services world and for everyday desktop software.
But one of the most important things actually lies on the non-technical side, as the best developers must have excellent communication skills to prove they can work well with team members to get the job done.
