.NET Development and Modernization Services
Technijian helps Orange County businesses build, maintain, and modernize .NET applications. Start with an assessment of the existing code, dependencies, runtime support, and deployment process, then agree on a supported target and phased delivery plan.
Sound Familiar?
- Your ERP, CRM, internal portal, or customer platform relies on an older .NET Framework version or an unsupported Windows environment. Establish the actual lifecycle and compatibility requirements before choosing a migration.
- You paid a development agency to build a custom .NET application, and then they pivoted to AI consulting, the lead developer left, or the company folded — leaving you with a production app, no documentation, no automated tests, and NuGet packages nobody has touched in years.
- Your backend uses WCF service contracts and needs an integration plan. Review which services can remain supported and which should move to a modern API; WCF usage alone does not establish that the installed platform is unsupported.
- Manual deployments, limited automated tests, or unclear rollback procedures make changes harder to validate and recover.
- New requirements are difficult to deliver because application dependencies, documentation, or deployment practices need attention.
The Typical Approach vs. Technijian
❌ Typical Provider
A full rewrite can increase delivery risk, while indefinite patching can leave platform or dependency problems unresolved. Compare a phased migration, targeted modernization, and continued supported maintenance against the application's requirements.
✓ The Technijian Way
Technijian plans migration in stages, with dependency review, automated checks, and rollback considerations. Agree on the target runtime and API approach before moving components, and validate behavior as the application changes.
What’s Included
- .NET Framework Modernization - Assess compatibility and select a supported runtime. Consider .NET 10 LTS for suitable new work; existing .NET 8 applications need an upgrade plan before their support ends. Linux or container deployment depends on application dependencies.
- Legacy Codebase Inheritance & Stabilization — Take over an undocumented application left behind by a dev shop that's gone dark — no automated tests, no documentation, a 'copy files and pray' deployment process — and stabilize it before any new features get built.
- WCF to REST API / gRPC Migration — Replace WCF service contracts, data contracts, bindings, and behaviors incrementally with ASP.NET Core Web API or gRPC endpoints, keeping your existing application running throughout the migration.
- Blazor & React Frontend Modernization — Rebuild aging Web Forms or MVC front ends in Blazor or React on top of the modernized .NET backend, built to Clean Architecture principles.
- Azure Cloud-Native Deployment & CI/CD — Move off right-click Publish and onto Azure cloud-native infrastructure with CI/CD pipelines running from day one, delivered in 2-week sprint cycles so features ship continuously instead of once a month.
Why Technijian
An assessment establishes the application's constraints before scope or performance targets are agreed. Benchmark representative workloads before and after changes instead of assuming a fixed speed, memory, or hosting-cost improvement.
Support checked September 28, 2026: Microsoft lists .NET 10 as an active LTS release supported through November 14, 2028. .NET 8 support ends November 10, 2026. Keep supported installations on current patches. .NET Framework support depends on the version and underlying Windows lifecycle; it is not uniformly end-of-life.
Industries We Serve
Technijian modernizes .NET applications for organizations running revenue-generating platforms — ERPs, CRMs, internal portals, and customer-facing systems — that were built on .NET Framework years ago and now need to run on current, supportable infrastructure.
