Exponential Growth in Xamarin Expertise in Just One Year

Last year we announced the Xamarin Consulting Partner Program to connect customers with expert consultants building amazing apps with Xamarin.  In just one year, the Xamarin developer community has more than doubled to over 400,000 developers worldwide, and Xamarin has established partnerships with over 100 consulting partners around the globe.

Some of the biggest innovations in mobile are happening through our Premier and Authorized Consulting Partners. We are thrilled to share some of their success stories about how they have accelerated mobile projects for enterprises.

“Xamarin’s unique solution, allowing us to develop fully native apps from a shared code base, really resonates with our Fortune 500 customer base,” says Steve Hall, Director, Products and Architecture – Mobility Practice at Cognizant Technology Solutions, a global consulting company with 170,000 consultants worldwide.  “We greatly value the Xamarin partnership, and are excited about Xamarin’s impact on accelerating enterprise mobility.”  Watch Steve’s Future of Work and IT session at Xamarin Evolve 2013 for tips on building an effective mobile strategy as well as mobile architecture and development best practices.

“Xamarin is a critical part of Pariveda’s growing mobile success and expertise.” says Brian Orrell, CTO at Pariveda Solutions, a Microsoft National Systems Integrator.  “We are able to deliver fully native apps very quickly—something not possible with any other solution.”  Pariveda recently launched a Xamarin-based iOS and Android app for Direct Energy, one of the largest retail energy providers in the North America (read the case study).

“Xamarin is an important platform for Bluetube to save clients both time and money by increasing the amount of reusable code between mobile platforms. Xamarin’s stable platform has helped Bluetube’s mobile practice grow by 250% over last year.  Xamarin projects went from 10% to 95% of our mobile projects.” Grant Davies, CEO Bluetube.  Bluetube and Kimberly-Clark shared the stage at Xamarin Evolve 2013, to highlight the success of Kimberly-Clark’s Xamarin-based mobile CRM app which integrates with Salesforce and other backend systems to empower sales people to close deals faster.

“The ability to deliver fully native user experiences combined with the ability to reuse our existing skills, tools, testing and continuous integration frameworks makes Xamarin a perfect choice for Zühlke’s mobile development projects. Sharing code across device platforms helps us exceed customer expectations and expand our strategically important mobile business.” Klaus Liebe, Zühlke.  Zühlke recently launched an iPhone and iPad app for Bosch and Siemens Household Appliances, enabling users to use touch gestures to explore Bosch appliances.

“Xamarin allows us to quickly and efficiently code mobile apps for more than one platform. Some mobile software says they can do cross-platform, Xamarin delivers.” Ryan Kolatalo, Vice President of Technology, LEAP.  LEAP worked with the popular Texas Roadhouse chain of restaurants to deliver an award-winning app for iOS and Android, replacing a poorly rated Phonegap app (read the case study).

As demand for Xamarin-skilled resources continues to rise, our partners have become a key part of the Xamarin ecosystem, providing services at all stages of the app lifecycle.
