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:

  1. Revisiting and confirming current business requirements and stakeholder needs
  2. Evaluation of the existing system
  3. Understanding where existing investment can be re-used
  4. Developing strategies for data migration and evolution
  5. 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.
