Greetings, forum members, let's make this discussion unforgettable and filled with deep exchange of opinions! A question has arisen that perhaps we could discuss together. How to evaluate competencies and experience of a supplier before starting cooperation? I understand that it is important not only to choose a company with good reviews, but also to make sure that they have real experience in your field, as well as the necessary technical skills. What should be taken into account so that you don't make a mistake in choosing a partner? What methods and evaluation criteria can be most effective?

Hi! Great question, because evaluating a vendor's competencies and experience is a key point when choosing a partner for long-term cooperation. First, it's important to examine the company's portfolio and make sure they have worked on projects similar to yours in terms of complexity and scope. For example, if you need a .NET MAUI solution, it's worth looking at companies that offer .NET MAUI development solutions. Look at their case studies and see what problems they solved, what technologies they used, and what results they achieved. Second, it is a good idea to ask for references from previous clients. This will give you an opportunity to get an honest opinion about the vendor's work and learn about possible pitfalls. Next, it is important to organize face-to-face or online meetings with potential suppliers to better understand their approach to work and interaction style.

Hi guys!!! I agree that choosing a vendor is an important step and you need to be careful when evaluating their competencies and experience. In my opinion, it is important not only to look at portfolios and reviews, but also to have direct conversations with potential partners. This will help you better understand how they work and how well they understand your niche and requirements. It's also important to consider how ready the company is for long-term collaboration and whether they have the resources to scale the project if required. In the end, comprehensive analysis and communication will help you make the right choice
