Legacy Migration
What is Legacy Code?
“Legacy” code is another way of saying old, outdated code that limits scalability of future projects. Languages such as VB.NET are no longer supported by newer platforms, causing lots of headaches when companies attempt to upgrade their coding environment.
A few characteristics of legacy code:
- Maintained by someone that’s not the original author
- Currently used in a project and needs to be replaced
- Outdated language or platform
Disadvantages to Legacy
There’s a good reason why companies are transitioning from their old and outdated legacy code to a newer environment. Legacy code severely limits project scalability, security, affordability, and efficiency. Companies are learning that while their legacy code may work for now, it won’t be sufficient in the near future.
Notable disadvantages of legacy code:
- No easy way to test it
- No longer actively developed
- Costly and untimely for a business

Transferring to .NET Core
Companies have realized the value in transitioning to a .NET Core framework to reduce costs and increase their ability to scale. Think of a legacy transition to .NET Core as buying a new car, making it much easier to add new features, perform maintenance, and improve appearance.
