Give Your Legacy Apps New Life with Azure App Service 

Legacy applications – those business-critical apps that keep IT people up at night fighting fires – leave employees frustrated with their lack of dependability and, worse, provide poor customer experiences all around. Essential to any business, they may have been developed years ago, and when they work, ‘they just work.’ But because all of your processes and procedures were created around the app, you don’t want to invest in a whole new platform. 

Sound familiar? Does that mean you have to live with the app’s shortcomings or keep buying new server hardware to ensure long-term, stable usageThanks to Microsoft, the answer may be a surprising ‘NO!’ 

How? 

Modernize existing .NET web apps using Azure App Service.
