.NET Framework to .NET Core Migration 01
The .NET framework functionality is no longer suitable for competitive software solutions. Modern .NET Core and ASP.NET Core versions offer cross-platform capabilities, improved performance, and long-term support aligned with digital transformation initiatives.
A successful .NET Framework to .NET Core migration requires more than code conversion. It is necessary to assess the existing system, review APIs and business logic, update .NET libraries, create test coverage, utilize migration tools, plan the migration process, and thoroughly test the migrated system.
ASP.NET Migration Services 02
Applications built on obsolete versions of ASP.NET often suffer from performance and scalability limitations, outdated security models and growing maintenance costs. These systems are expensive to support and struggle to meet modern technological standards or evolving business goals.
As part of our ASP.NET migration services, we guide organizations through an ASP.NET migration to ASP.NET Core. Our net migration services cover business analysis, code review and code optimization to ensure a smooth transition to modern cloud environments.
We can help you modernize your web apps and .NET applications and prepare your infrastructure for seamless deployment and improved scalability. The result is a secure platform that supports ongoing digital transformation.
Software Audit 03
You do not need to start full development services or commit to a complete net migration project right away. You can simply request a software audit and business analysis of the existing system. We will identify technical risks, create a migration plan and estimate development efforts.
Migration from Desktop to Web 04
We will analyze the existing system to understand the desktop application’s functionality, business logic and technical constraints. Based on this, we define a clear migration plan, transforming .NET apps into modern web apps that support cross platform capabilities and long-term digital transformation goals.
Modernization of a Legacy .NET Application 05
We can upgrade legacy systems, frameworks, libraries, or third-party tools to a newer version. This approach removes technical debt, enables net migration, and delivers scalable .NET applications.
Architecture Improvement 06
We can optimize existing solutions by rebuilding their architecture or breaking the application into microservices. As a result, you will get a powerful solution that will be able to cope with scalability limitations.
Cloud Migration 07
Our cloud migration services help define the right strategy, operating model, roadmap, and migration plan for existing systems and ecosystem partners. We modernize applications for modern cloud environments, improving security, cost-efficiency, and flexibility.
System Re-Engineering 08
We can reorganize software or a database, optimize the architecture, and add new features to an existing system. With our customer-focused approach, you can be sure that we will find the best solution tailored to your business goals.
When to Migrate Your Legacy
.NET App?
Your decision on when to migrate a legacy .NET application should depend on various parameters, including your ongoing business goals, your existing processes, the technical state of the application, and your broader digital transformation strategy. Here are a couple of factors that can clearly indicate that you need to think about the migration of your .NET applications.
- End of Microsoft’s long-term support for the .NET framework version you are using, increasing security risks and limiting security updates
- Performance and scalability limitations due to growing requirements
- Incompatibility of outdated components or third-party libraries with newer .NET versions
- Lack of ability to customize net apps or adopt modern technologies required for business development
- Increased costs associated with running a legacy application and others

FAQ: .NET Migration Services from Softacom
What is the typical timeline for completing an ASP.NET migration project? 01
The timeline for completing your ASP.NET migration project depends on various factors, including the complexity of your existing system, the size of the application, and your business goals. Typically, small to mid-sized net applications can take a few weeks to a couple of months, while larger enterprise systems might require more time.
Which types of applications are ideal candidates for migration to the .NET framework? 02
Applications built on legacy platforms like VB6, classic ASP, or outdated .NET versions are ideal candidates for migration to the latest .NET framework. This modernization improves performance, security, and scalability, making your applications future-proof.
Can Softacom ensure a seamless .NET transition without disrupting ongoing business operations? 03
Yes, we prioritize minimizing disruption during software migration. We employ a phased or modular approach to ensure that your core business operations continue without interruptions. Each migration plan is tailored to your business goals and existing systems to support a smooth transition.
How do I migrate a .NET project? 04
Migrating a .NET project involves several key steps: assessing the current system, preparing the migration plan, modernizing the codebase, testing for functionality, and ensuring compatibility with newer technologies. Softacom provides end-to-end migration services to streamline this process.
For a real-world example of our work, take a look at our case study on migrating a Delphi desktop application to a web-based .NET app. It highlights our expertise in modernizing legacy systems while ensuring smooth functionality and uninterrupted business operations.
What is .NET migration? 05
.NET migration is the process of moving applications from older technologies or earlier versions of the .NET framework to the latest .NET Core or .NET versions. This upgrade allows businesses to leverage modern features, stronger security enhancements, and improved performance.
Does Softacom provide post-migration support? 06
Yes, Softacom offers comprehensive post-migration support to ensure that your new system is functioning optimally. We assist with troubleshooting, performance tuning, and future updates as your business evolves.
When should I migrate from .NET Framework to .NET Core or .NET 9? 07
You should consider .NET Framework migration to modern .NET Core versions when:
- Your current version is out of support (like .NET 4.6 or .NET Core 3.1).
- You face performance and scalability limitations.
- Adding new features increases development efforts and costs
- Security or compliance issues put your business at risk.
In these cases, a planned core migration helps reduce maintenance costs and supports long-term digital transformation.
What’s the difference between .NET Framework and .NET Core/.NET 9/10? 08
- .NET Framework: Windows-only, legacy, no major updates.
- .NET Core / .NET 9/10: Cross-platform, open-source, cloud-ready, faster, and supported with long-term support (LTS) releases.
How long does a .NET migration project take? 09
Timelines of a .NET migration project vary depending on project size, code complexity, and dependencies. A small .NET application might take a few weeks, while a large enterprise system may require several months. At Softacom, we start with an audit and business analysis to define a clear roadmap so you get realistic estimates upfront.
