Migrate to .NET

The need for migration/reengineering of applications or databases in enterprises arises from changes in business demands or technology challenges. This migration is required either to improve operational efficiency or to manage risks. Many enterprises are straddled with the challenge of ensuring that investments in legacy systems do not get locked in proprietary and outdated technologies while migrating to newer systems. The need is to preserve established business rules, practices and investments in the old system at the same time managing valuable human resources locked in maintaining legacy systems. Other aspect that needs to be considered is the smooth shift of the software users from the older system to the newer one.
