.NET Framework to .NET 8 Migration Service

You are looking for a reliable partner to help you migrate your .NET Framework applications to .NET 8?

Migrating your .NET Framework applications to .NET 8 is a complex process that requires a deep understanding of both technologies. I outline my approach to the general approach in my blog post article: .NET Framework 4.8 to .NET 6 migration.

I conceptualized and implemented the migration of a large .NET Framework 4.8 application to .NET 6 in multiple projects. That is why I am confident that I can help you with your migration project.
