In the last few months, Xamarin has gone from an iOS and Android building tool to a true cross-platform end-to-end mobile development solution. Developers can go from building, developing and integrating services to continuous automated testing and post-release issue monitoring -- as well as take advantage of Xamarin University educational courses to deepen their skill set at any stage of the process.

Xamarin is the best mobile development platform to help you: Ensure App Adoption Deliver native, high-performance apps Automate functional testing on hundreds of real devices Resolve Issues Quickly Monitor apps for crashes and exceptions Analyze crash analytics & user data for faster fixes and better support Accelerate time-to-market Transform your team into mobile experts Re-use and share code across device platforms Future-Proof Investments Add new device OS features & extend to new platforms easily Stay always up-to-date
- 4. Enterprise Approaches to Mobile Development
- 5. The Siloed Approach: Build App Multiple Times • Expensive to staff multiple platform-specific teams. • Expensive to maintain multiple code bases. • Slows innovation.
- 6. The Write-Once-Run-Everywhere Approach • Incomplete API coverage, limiting app functionality and failing to meet user expectations. • Slow performance causes high abandonment rates. • Poorly adopted solutions lead to wasted investments.
- 7. “The biggest mistake we made as a company was betting too much on HTML5 as opposed to native.” Mark Zuckerberg CEO
- 8. The Xamarin Approach: Shared Code • Use one team, one code and one set of tools, optimizing budget. • Accelerate time to market with 60-100% shared code across platforms. • Scale for ongoing maintenance, iteration and new technology. Xamarin and C# Native UI Native UI Native UI Shared Code
- 9. Xamarin is the only solution that is native in all 3 ways Native User Interface Apps are built with standard, native user interface controls for easy and familiar interactions. High-fidelity API Access Apps have access to the full spectrum of functionality exposed by the underlying platform and device. Native Performance Apps leverage platform-specific hardware acceleration, and are compiled as native binaries, not interpreted at runtime. 1 2 3

Dropbox “…more test coverage to discover issues sooner.” Derrick Lam QA Engineer “…ensured that critical features of Expensify look and perform great on every Android device.” Tom Jacobs Software Engineer “…fundamental in our effort to maintain the highest possible quality of our products and also securing a short time-to-market“ Niels Frydenholm, Software Architect “ …helped us catch important bugs in challenging scenarios.” Hamid Palo Android Team Lead “Xamarin Test Cloud is our path to a low maintenance, high quality and regression-free future. We’re excited about where this can take our team and product.” Sean Beausoleil, Mailbox Engineering Lead “…helped us identify and fix critical device- specific issues.” Mike Singleton Software Engineer
- 16. Real-time App Monitoring • Prioritize high impact, far- reaching issues • Contact affected users as you identify and resolve problems • Understand the actions that preceded the crash to reproduce and resolve
- 17. Great Consumer Experiences RESULTS • Developed initial consumer app using PhoneGap and Sencha • Could not get the user experience that they wanted, nor the developer experience • Switched to Xamarin and immediate achieved better reviews and results • 3rd Largest Theatre Exhibitor
- 18. “Cinemark had tried using PhoneGap and Sencha Touch...we found it a challenge to debug the apps, we found it a challenge to make them work properly on each platform…We’ve had a lot of feedback about the [Xamarin] app being a lot more responsive. People like the native interfaces.” Joe Dan Galyean VP Engineering, Cinemark
- 19. Using Xamarin, Rdio now shares over 50,000 lines of C# across iOS, Android, and Windows, enabling them to focus on feature- parity and user experience. RESULTS Previously, Rdio built apps in the platform-specific languages – 3 code bases, 3 teams. They couldn’t sim-ship on all platforms. Growing C# developer base
- 20. RESULTSFast release of $1.4B app With Xamarin, Tesco delivered iOS, Android and Windows apps in 4 months – now reaching 50k users/day and processing 25% of all grocery orders (£900M). Tesco spent over 2 years building platform- specific iOS and Android apps. High maintenance costs and coordination made rapid innovation impossible.

- 23. S.Somasegar， Corporate Vice President， Microsoft “Our strategic partnership has empowered our joint developer community with the critical ability to extend applications across multiple devices. This next step combines Xamarin’s powerful mobile development capabilities with new Visual Studio 2015 features to make cross-platform development faster, easier and more accessible than ever before.”

Editor's Notes
- [When we open the call have the Xamarin cover slide showing. Adjust subtitle of cover slide to customer requirements and use case.] Just as a quick check, can everyone seen my screen? Enterprise mobile apps, cross-platform that works? Yes? Fantastic. Great talking to you today. How are you? Customer, where are you located? I saw from your linkedin that you’re based in Boston, is that right? Xamarin is based in San Francisco and we really like the weather here. <insert appropriate conversation to build a connection> Customer, who else will be joining the call from your side? Are we waiting for anyone else to join from your side? Why don’t we start with a quick round of introductions? Customer, do you want to start on your side, give everybody a moment to introduce themselves, and maybe give a brief background and cover their particular goals for this call with Xamarin. [Customer is making introductions.]

- ROI Calculations: 4 months = 4 weeks x 4 months x 40 hours/week = 640 hours (Siloed, 640 hours/platform) 3 months = 4 weeks x 3 months x 40 hours/week = 480 hours (Xamarin) iOS cost = $150/hour x 640 hours x 3 developers = $288,000 Android cost = $130/hour x 640 hours x 3 developers = $249, 600 Total siloed time: 1280 hours Total siloed cost: $537,600 C#: $130/hour x 480 hours x 3 developers = $172, 800

- With Xamarin Test Cloud you can test any native or hybrid mobile app, not just Xamarin apps. If the app can be downloaded from a public or private app store, it can be tested in Xamarin Test Cloud.
- Here’s an example of just of few ot the customers we’ve already helped improve their testing process. It would be great for us to understand a bit more about your development process and your mobile testing requirements. [Use the Qualifying Questions]
- And Last, but certainly not least is Xamarin Insights. Like with profiling, existing tools on the market today only tell half the story when it comes to crash reporting. We’ve built Xamarin Insights from the ground up specifically to be a best-in-class solution for gather crash reports for Xamarin-based apps. We’ve also built in some really neat features, like allowing developers to instrument the app so that they can actually see what steps the end user took before the exception happened. Depending on your app, you may actually want to identify each individual user, so you know who experienced the error, what kind of device they were on, and you can report back to them once the exceptions been completed. Lastly, you can leverage the “Track” features to capture information like timings. Maybe you want to know how long a particular action is taking in your app. Or maybe you have an media app like Pandora, and you want to know the average amount of a song that a user listens to before they skip, and so on. Collectively, these three new products give developers a complete solution for building, profiling, and monitoring their apps to make sure that every app is a 5-star app.
