Reduced the Cost of Cloud Infrastructure by 29% through Migration to .NET 6

Our USA-based client represented a full cycle of glasses production and distribution company, overseeing the entire process – from buying raw materials and design to final sales.

Almost twelve years back, the company had developed its own desktop ERP software using Windows Forms – a technology that was highly popular and demanding for creating Windows-based desktop applications and server solutions, at that time.

Usually, companies tend to avoid migrating or modernizing their system if they function correctly. They don’t find their systems to be updated an essential step until they face severe system downtimes or big problems with productivity and costs. Due to these issues with the legacy software, adding one simple function was also a challenging task for our .NET developers.

Initially, our client had only one enterprise application, which was available via the local network to all the employees. With the expansion of business, it became a necessity for our client to migrate their app server to the cloud infrastructure, enabling easy access to their employees from anywhere.

And for that, they consulted us. We knew this evolutionary step was significantly easier and more feasible using the .NET Core development. Hence, as an experienced .NET enterprise app development company, we advised them to migrate their ERP system to an updated version of the .NET framework - .NET 6.

Decreased Productivity Was an Actual Concern

The ERP system was developed 12 years ago. And over time, a dramatic decline in productivity has come to our client's attention.

Moreover, they were expanding their businesses, and many employees would be joining the organization from various locations. Hence, there was a need for our client to move their local server and adopt cloud-based development so that our employees could access the data and system from any branch.

Our Priority was to Ensure Productivity, Code Cleanliness, and Maintenance Simplicity

While going through the project analysis, our software analysts discovered some of the used libraries were too outdated. Hence, the latest .NET version was not able to support them.

Furthermore, it was likely that .NET 7 might contain hidden vulnerabilities. All of these assisted us in deciding to migrate the ERP system to .NET 6. This version guarantees exceptional productivity because of features like fast task performance and memory allocation. Along with .NET 6, we also used other technologies like C#, Visual Studio, SQL Server, and ASP.NET.

Modernization and Performance

By migrating legacy ERP software to .NET 6, our team ensured that the client's application would be powered by the latest advancements in technology. The improved performance and latency reduction by upto 50%, coupled with its enhanced support for modern application architectures, translated into a seamless user experience and better responsiveness.

Cost Optimization

Another goal was to optimize the cost and reduce it overall. Hence, as an experienced cloud app development company, we assessed their existing cloud infrastructure. Our team modularized the application components by leveraging the microservices architecture in .NET 6. This allowed us to optimize resource allocation and scaling based on usage patterns, significantly reducing infrastructure costs by 29%.

Containerization and Orchestration

With the help of Docker and Kubernetes, our DevOps team ensured that the application could be efficiently deployed and managed across different environments. In fact, we created a roadmap to manage risks by eliminating all possible migration pitfalls caused by inconsistent code or poor documentation.
