.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.

Depending on your needs, we will sit together and look at the current situation of your application. We will then define the next steps and create a roadmap for the migration. We will discuss the different options and decide on the best approach for your application.
