Over the last year, the Xamarin ecosystem has grown to include over 195,000 developers, and thousands of companies. Our customers build mission-critical apps for a wide range of industries and audiences. One thing all of our customers have in common is the desire to do more, faster with mobile.
Today, we are proud to announce the Xamarin Consulting Partners Program, a new initiative that will help companies move at mobile speed. This program will connect our customers with expert consultants who are available to assist with projects large and small. The more than 20 partners already enrolled in the program have built successful apps for a wide range of 
organizations, including Microsoft, O2, and City of London, among many others.
The Xamarin Consulting Partner Program has two tiers. Our roster of Authorized Consulting Partners enable customers to find deep technical expertise within the broad Xamarin development ecosystem. The second tier, our Premier Consulting Partners, are hand-selected by Xamarin based on their consulting experience and proven Xamarin expertise as demonstrated by the quality and range of apps shipped on the platform.
Our inaugural eleven Premier Consulting Partners include ASP Soft, Flow Pilots, Hitcents, Info Support, iOS Bits, ITR Mobility, Netcoders, RBA Consulting, Redpoint Technologies, Touch Instinct and West Monroe Partners.
Alongside the Consulting Partner Program, we are also announcing a series of consulting services packages to be delivered by select Premier Partners. The packages, which are designed to help customers at any stage of mobile development, include:
- The App Kickoff package which focuses on architecture, best practices and solutions to mobile-unique problems.
- The InFlight Review package that includes a code review to identify solutions to problems and opportunities for performance and memory optimization.
- The Lightning Consultation which is designed to provide quick answers to specific problems.
“Mobile is now central to business strategy as companies recognize its power to transform customer relationships and business processes,” said Nat Friedman, co-founder and CEO at Xamarin. “A successful mobile strategy means delivering amazing mobile experiences across a diverse device landscape, quickly. Our Consulting Partners and Services accelerate and improve mobile strategy and execution for companies who want faster, better results.”
