Migration to .NET Platform

Enterprises are often faced with the need to migrate legacy applications to a new platform. This need may arise for a number of reasons:

• Architecture of existing system is complex, difficult to deploy and maintain.
• Existing technology is outdated. Difficult to find resources with necessary skill set.
• Existing technology is expensive. Want to move to less expensive platform with lower support costs.
• Existing technology cannot integrate with newer systems.
• Existing technology does not scale up.
• Difficult to upgrade system for new user requirements.

In short, enterprises sometimes need to migrate their applications to a new platform to improve operational efficiency or to reduce risk.

While options such as rewriting or buying new products exist, migration leverages the business model and the features of the application and can be done in a cost-effective manner.

• Distributed system
