ASP to ASP.net migration
Legacy ASP, VB, SQL Server applications and
websites - what to do with them?
Most organisations are reliant on legacy
database, business and web browser based applications to some
degree. These have usually been custom built to suit specific
business needs and have evolved as those needs change.
Often these applications have been developed
in-house or by specialist design, web or software companies. They
are typically built and structured in an ad-doc manner and reliant
on the skills and knowledge of a few who may no longer be around to
support the system.
So if you are facing issues such as; ASP to
ASP.Net Migration, ASP web application modernisation or unsure how
to plan ahead with old and unsupported ASP applications, you are
not alone. Over the past 11 years Fusionworkshop has built a
reputation for successfully modernising or migrating legacy systems
particularly Moving ASP applications to .Net. We will be able to
help and provide advice on a smart route forward.
Our approach is based on:
- Revisiting and confirming current business
requirements and stakeholder needs
- Evaluation of the existing system
- Understanding where existing investment can
be re-used
- Developing strategies for data migration and
evolution
- Planning for a seamless transition
You'll have been told that the only answer is
a full redevelopment. This is rarely the case but even where the
business logic is 100% legacy classic ASP there will be huge value
in the database and its access mechanisms but above all the main
value is in the actual business function being fully modelled.
You should not be facing as much effort in
moving ASP applications to asp.Net compared to the work involved in
building the legacy ASP web application. Another factor to consider
is that many features of your old ASP application required
considerable developer time to build and test whereas ASP.Net and
the .Net framework is a huge toolkit with a large number of
ready-to-deploy features that will reduce development time and
improve user experience.
Often the decision to go about moving from ASP
to .Net is postponed due to risk, costs and uncertainty. With our
approach the majority of these issues disappear and you will end up
with a fully modernised business application that has a better user
experience, is a better platform for ongoing investment and will
evolve further and in a more elegant but cost effective
manner.
