.NET Framework to .NET Core Migration Services
Is your legacy .NET Framework application ready for a modern upgrade? TYMIQ offers specialized migration services to help you seamlessly transition to .NET Core, unlocking enhanced performance, cross-platform support, and modern development capabilities.
Why should migrate from .NET Framework to .NET Core?
With .NET Framework 4.8 being the final release and no further updates planned, Microsoft has shifted its full focus to .NET Core (now .NET 6+).
Migrating to .NET Core allows you to future-proof your applications while taking advantage of the latest innovations in software development, cross-platform compatibility, and improved performance.
Achieve quicker application performance with reduced resource overhead.
Seamlessly operate across multiple environments, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Access the latest tools, libraries, and frameworks to enhance development productivity.
Stay up-to-date with continuous enhancements and long-term support from Microsoft.
When is .NET Core migration the right move for your business?
Migrating from .NET Framework to .NET Core isn't just about upgrading for the sake of it. Certain business challenges and goals make this transition not only logical but essential. Below are specific scenarios where moving to .NET Core can drive real value:
If your business is relying on an aging, monolithic application that’s becoming increasingly difficult to maintain or update, migrating to .NET Core allows you to modernize your infrastructure with a more modular, maintainable codebase.
For businesses aiming to expand their digital offerings to global markets or platforms, including mobile and web, .NET Core offers the flexibility to support new customer segments and devices without overhauling your entire system.
Companies struggling with high server costs, especially those locked into Windows-only environments, can significantly cut down infrastructure expenses by moving to a cross-platform solution that works on Linux or in containers.
If digital transformation is a top priority for your company, .NET Core enables rapid adoption of cloud-native technologies, microservices, and DevOps practices, positioning your IT systems for greater agility and innovation.
For organizations in highly regulated industries (e.g., healthcare, finance), staying compliant with the latest security standards is vital. Migrating to .NET Core offers access to modern security practices and ongoing updates, helping ensure compliance with evolving regulatory requirements.
When your application is reaching its scaling limits due to legacy architecture or technical debt, .NET Core’s ability to handle higher loads and more complex scaling scenarios—whether in the cloud or on-premises—helps future-proof your infrastructure.
As industries evolve and integrate new technologies like AI, machine learning, and IoT, .NET Core positions your application to better integrate with these advanced capabilities, enabling innovation without being held back by legacy systems.
The cost estimate for .NET Framework to .NET Core migration
During the initial conversation with each prospective client, our migration experts ascertain all the details of the upcoming project and provide a ROM estimate of the effort and costs involved. Below are the factors we consider when preparing a ROM for migrating from .NET Framework to .NET Core, which can impact the overall cost:
Monolithic apps take longer to migrate compared to microservices-based architectures.
Applications with complex business logic or legacy integrations will require more effort.
Larger codebases involve more modules, requiring more time to review, refactor, and test.
Some third-party libraries or NuGet packages might not be compatible with .NET Core, requiring replacements or custom solutions.
Any migration of data access layers (e.g., Entity Framework migration).
Applications relying on specific middleware or APIs that might require reworking for Core compatibility.
Features like Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows Forms, or other platform-dependent functionalities need significant changes, as they may not be supported in .NET Core.
Migration efforts may involve performance tuning to take full advantage of .NET Core’s speed and efficiency improvements.

Our full migration service scope
We assess your .NET Framework applications by reviewing the codebase and documentation to understand their scope and requirements.
We break the application into logical modules, define the target architecture, and finalize technology choices for the new solution.
We assemble a team of existing domain experts and new developers skilled in the chosen technologies.
a) At the very start, we select a small, low-risk module to test the migration to .NET Core and the chosen frontend framework.
b) Building a prototype using the new architecture and tech stack.
a) We validate the PoC for code quality, security, and performance.
b) Presenting the PoC to stakeholders for feedback and alignment with business goals.
c) Refining the migration strategy or design based on the feedback.
We break it into manageable modules (e.g., authentication, data access, business processes, notifications, business rules, and reporting) and prioritize migration based on technical dependencies, complexity, and risk.
We engage developers with domain expertise and knowledge of the codebase to strengthen the team.
We migrate modules one by one with defined requirements and goals.
a) We set up pipelines for automated builds, testing, and deployments with version control integration.
b) Implementing the best DevOps practices, including infrastructure as code, automated testing, and continuous monitoring.
c) Developing automated test suites for unit, integration, and regression testing.
a) We validate functional requirements with unit, integration, and user acceptance testing (UAT).
b) Conducting performance and load testing to ensure benchmarks are met and scalability.
c) Performing security assessments, including penetration testing and vulnerability scanning.
a) We improve performance by reviewing and optimizing the codebase and database queries.
b) Implementing caching strategies (e.g., Redis caching) and use monitoring tools (e.g., Application Insights) to identify bottlenecks and enhance application efficiency.
a) We fix bugs and optimize system stability.
b) Executing the data migration plan, ensuring data integrity through thorough validation.
a) We define the deployment strategy (e.g., blue-green deployment) to minimize downtime and risk.
b) Setting up the target infrastructure (e.g., cloud, on-premises) and configure it (e.g., load balancers, servers).
c) Implementing continuous monitoring and alerting with tools like Application Insights or Grafana.
d) Establishing a patching and update process for applications and infrastructure.
a) We deploy the solution to a production-like environment for final validation.
b) Monitoring closely, gather feedback, and address any issues.
a) We gradually expand deployment to the entire user base.
b) Providing post-deployment support for issue resolution.
