Let us convert you to .NET

We have been porting and upgrading applications through most of our history. Fortran to C to C++? We've done that. Borland C++ to Visual C++? We've done that. ASP, COM, and VB 6 to ASP.NET and VB.NET? We've done that, and the converted system is  in production today. But we don't just want to transform your code -- we want to transform your people into  .NET architects and developers. Let us get you started so that you can reap the productivity benefits .NET has to offer.

What is .NET?

Here's an overview (1.3 MB PowerPoint) Kate Gregory, one of our partners, presented at the Visual Studio .NET Canadian launch tour in the spring of 2002. This keynote presentation (12 MB PowerPoint) focuses on the benefits of .NET. You can find lots of technical starting points at www.gotdotnet.com and www.microsoft.com/net.

How hard is it to move to .NET?

It can be easier than you think. Kate's other talk at the launch (2 MB PowerPoint) was about the VB upgrade wizard. It does about 90% of the work for you. There's no automatic tool for the other languages, but there are some shortcuts and common patterns: we'll be happy to share what we've learned to speed up your conversions.

How do I get started?

First, read about our Development Process to see how we work. Then give us a call (1 800 665 6733, ask for Kate Gregory) or email kate@gregcons.com and ask to meet. We'll be happy to discuss your specific needs. Perhaps you just want us to train or mentor a few key staff, so that you can move to .NET yourselves. Perhaps you want us to do the architecture and design so as to get the maximum benefit from this new platform, then help your staff get it coded. Or perhaps you'd like to hand the whole thing to us and just get it done, and get the knowledge transfer by learning your way around the new application. We're willing to be involved at a variety of levels. One things we're sure of: once you see what .NET can do, you'll be a convert!
