Open Doors: Welcome to our .NET and Java practice

Emergn is made up of many key pieces that contribute to our global impact and success, but if there’s one we are particularly proud of, it’s our amazing team. A team that works together and across practices, committed to delivering the best and most impactful results for our clients. Divided by areas of expertise, each practice brings its own value, knowledge, and unique perspectives to both our business and culture.

But what does this look like in practice? How do our teams collaborate to create real impact?

Open Doors: Welcome to our practices! is a series that takes a deeper look into what we do, how we do it, and the incredible people behind it. Each article will spotlight a different practice at Emergn, highlighting how it uniquely contributes to our organization and serves our clients.

Made for software engineering

Step inside! Today, we’re opening the doors to our .NET and Java practice, showing you what it’s all about – the team that operates at the core of our software development capabilities, ensuring stability, scalability, and continuous innovation.

First, don’t be misled by the name. While we thrive on .NET and Java, our expertise stretches far beyond these two technologies, encompassing a variety of languages, including Node.js, PHP, Python, and more. Most of us are full-stack developers, working cross-functionally with other teams to create tailored, high-quality solutions for our clients. This flexibility enables us to approach every project with innovation, selecting the best technology for each challenge.

Collaboration is a core value at Emergn, and we live it every day. Our integrated teams are made of professionals from diverse areas of expertise, such as Developers, Business Analysts, Quality Assurance Engineers, Database Administrators, and Scrum Masters. This integration creates a collaborative environment where different viewpoints and experiences are considered for a better solution.

Our daily interactions with other teams allow us to stay aligned with client needs and expectations, ensuring our work is always relevant and impactful.

A practice with a mission

The core mission of our .NET and Java practice is to comprehensively understand our clients’ requirements and deliver bespoke solutions that meet their needs. This is not limited to coding; our solutions often require a multifaceted approach, combining frontend and backend development, relational and NoSQL databases, and even cloud technologies. We have to be experts not just in programming, but in understanding business domains, from healthcare to banking, to ensure our solutions are both technically efficient and aligned with the client’s goals.

By focusing on each client’s unique needs, maintaining open communication, and building trust in our professionals’ technical expertise, we’ve delivered exceptional products and experiences for clients like the State Revenue Service (SRS) of Latvia, a global shipping firm striving to innovate and stay ahead of the competition, and a leading health and benefits provider aiming  to deliver better user experiences. These efforts have also led to long-term, successful partnerships built on collaboration, trust and quality.

The values that drive us forward

At the heart of this practice is the commitment to delivering value as soon as possible to everyone we serve. Daily applying the principles of Value, Flow, and Quality (VFQ), we ensure that every step we take contributes to achieving meaningful outcomes for our clients.

As a team, we believe in the power of collaboration, mutual respect, and knowledge sharing to create an environment where every team member’s perspective is valued. Diverse viewpoints fuel our creativity, improve our problem-solving, and lead us to create stronger and more efficient solutions. We actively engage with the whole practice, sharing insights, experiences, and ideas to improve not just our own work, but also the outcomes across all teams.

We are naturally and actively curious and encourage a culture of continuous learning about Emergn, our clients, and evolving technologies.

Furthermore, we are not content with meeting the expectations and consistently seek to go beyond and improve project outcomes while balancing team demands.

A unique .NET and Java practice

What makes our practice truly unique at Emergn is the freedom to explore different technologies. While we specialize in .NET and Java, we’re not bound to these languages. We have the opportunity to learn Node.js, Python, and more, and explore different challenges, opening up new paths for innovation and problem-solving.

Another aspect we are proud of is the possibility to collaborate with colleagues who bring different perspectives. We interact with teammates on how the same problem could be solved using different languages and techniques, enriching our knowledge and improving the solutions we build.

The skills to succeed

To succeed in the .NET and Java practice, effective communication is essential. Our professionals must be able to articulate complex ideas clearly to diverse audiences. Active listening is equally important to ensure we fully understand the problem before diving into a solution.

Knowledge of fundamental and advanced concepts such as Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), SOLID principles, and design patterns, and the distinctions between relational vs. NoSQL databases is the basis for building a strong foundation for handling complex technical challenges.

Continuous professional development is key in any area at Emergn. But with the constant technology evolvements, it becomes even more important to have an active learning mindset, in this case, by keeping up with the latest language versions for .NET and Java but also exploring proficiency beyond core languages. Many of our developers expand their skill sets by exploring languages such as Node.js, Python, and Ruby.

Looking into the future

Looking ahead, we see our team continuing to evolve, with a stronger focus on delivering cloud-based solutions and AI-integrated services while keeping our commitment to delivering unique, tailored client experiences. The tech landscape is constantly changing, and we are always striving to stay ahead of the curve, understand and anticipate unique client needs and deliver effective and future-proof solutions.

For those looking to join our team, be dedicated to cultivating a spirit of curiosity and an open mind. Being willing and excited to embrace new technologies and approaches is essential. Additionally, a commitment to continuous learning and professional development will help you grow both personally and professionally in our team!
