Classic ASP is holding your applications back

Classic ASP was once a standard for building dynamic web applications, often paired with VBScript and Access databases. But with Microsoft shifting development to ASP.NET and SQL Server, organizations that still rely on Classic ASP face mounting risks and limitations.

Unsupported technology

Classic ASP no longer receives new features or major updates, leaving applications stuck with outdated capabilities and increasing maintenance challenges.

Performance bottlenecks

Older ASP architecture can’t match the speed or efficiency of ASP.NET, which delivers up to 3X better performance and improved scalability.

Limited scalability

Classic ASP struggles to handle growing user bases, higher traffic volumes, and modern load-balancing requirements.

Compatibility gaps

Lack of built‑in cross‑browser support and limited tools for rich, interactive interfaces put your applications behind modern web standards.

What businesses gain by migrating to ASP.NET

ASP.NET is the logical upgrade from Classic ASP, giving your applications room to grow.

Modern development framework

ASP.NET supports current programming languages like C#, Visual Basic, and Perl, plus modern frameworks and best practices, making applications easier to build, scale, and maintain.

Up to 3X performance improvement

With built-in caching, optimized processing, and better resource management, ASP.NET can deliver up to three times the speed of Classic ASP.

Enhanced scalability and reliability

Modern architecture supports growing user bases, heavier traffic, and cloud-ready deployment without sacrificing performance.

Cross-browser compatibility

Rich server-side controls and built-in compatibility features ensure consistent experiences across browsers and devices.

Improved state management

Enhanced session and application state features ensure smoother, more reliable user experiences.

Seamless deployment

Take advantage of X-copy deployment to quickly update pages and components without complex installation steps.

Reduced maintenance costs

A modern codebase means more available developers, fewer workarounds, and easier long-term upkeep.

Smooth coexistence during migration

Run Classic ASP and ASP.NET side by side during the transition, allowing for a gradual, low-risk migration process.

Our proven 5-step methodology

We use a proven approach to deliver a smooth, low-risk transition while preserving your application’s functionality.

1. Scope

We assess your existing Classic ASP application, database, and dependencies, identifying the functionality, pages, and components to be migrated.

2. Plan

We build a detailed migration strategy—mapping dependencies, determining where Classic ASP and ASP.NET will coexist during transition, and outlining timelines for each phase.

3. Migrate

Our ASP and .NET experts convert application logic, UI, and backend to ASP.NET, re-engineering where needed to improve performance, scalability, and maintainability.

4. Test

We conduct thorough QA, regression, and cross-browser testing to ensure your new ASP.NET application matches or exceeds the functionality of your Classic ASP system.

5. Deploy

We roll out your ASP.NET application—often running it alongside Classic ASP during the cutover—to ensure a smooth transition, minimal downtime, and ongoing support for your team.
