Start to End Project Development

For clients without a development team, Robust Haven hopes you will consider partnering with us. Let your technology challenge be our business.

Initial Project Ramp Up and Technical Support

For clients with an existing team, Robust Haven can meet with your architects and together design the new project architecture following the best practices in Silverlight.

Together we will build a solid foundation that your team can build upon after a month[1] of initial ground work. Throughout the length of the project Robust Haven is willing to provide technical support for roadblocks encountered and code reviews.

One month is needed for most projects to get existing developers thinking in Silverlight with the aid of our Silverlight experts. Depending on the application and team experience the initial ramp up could be longer.
