What Makes a Good .NET Service Provider Today
A good .NET service provider delivers more than just C# code. They are familiar with the entire Microsoft platform—from ASP.NET Core to Blazor to Azure—understand your business domain, plan migrations without the risk of a “big bang,” and continue to operate the finished solution within your infrastructure. That’s exactly what we’ve been committed to for over 25 years.
At prodot, software architects, .NET developers, cloud engineers, and UX designers work as a single team. You’ll communicate directly with the same people who design your architecture, build your applications, and operate your systems. No handoffs, no subcontractors—just clear lines of responsibility.
How to Get Started on Your .NET Project with prodot
Three steps to your first production-ready solution. After each step, you decide whether and how to proceed. No minimum contract term, no sales pressure.
Step 1 | Initial Consultation. A 30-minute conversation with our senior architects. You describe your situation; we provide an honest assessment of the modernization path, effort required, and common pitfalls. Free of charge.
Step 2 | .NET Assessment. We analyze your codebase, dependencies, and integrations. The result: a robust migration or new-build roadmap with clear, fixed-price modules and prioritized quick wins.
Step 3 | Fixed-Price Pilot. We implement the first prioritized module in production. With a clear delivery date, a defined scope of functionality, and a joint go-live check after handover.
Our Services as a .NET Service Provider
.NET Architecture & Assessment
We analyze your existing .NET landscape, evaluate modernization potential, and define a target architecture. The result is a robust roadmap rather than decisions based on gut feelings.
ASP.NET Core Development
High-performance web APIs, minimal APIs, and microservices built on ASP.NET Core and .NET 10. Test-driven, container-ready, and designed for enterprise workloads.
.NET Framework Modernization
Migration from .NET Framework 4.x, WPF, WinForms, and WCF to .NET 10. Rehost, replatform, or rebuild—depending on business value and risk. Not a “big bang” approach, but a phased transition.
Azure & Cloud-Native with Aspire (formerly .NET Aspire)
Cloud-native .NET applications with Aspire, Azure Container Apps, Native AOT, and Infrastructure as Code. GDPR-compliant in European Azure regions.
Blazor & .NET MAUI Frontend

How to Identify the Right .NET Service Provider
The market for .NET service providers is vast. Four criteria will help you distinguish a reliable partner from someone who’s just selling you time:
1. Live .NET applications instead of slide decks. Ask to see applications that are running in production every day. Migration projects without a documented cutover history do not demonstrate implementation expertise.
2. Experience with all .NET generations. Legacy modernization requires knowledge of .NET Framework 4.x, WPF, WinForms, and WCF—as well as .NET 10, ASP.NET Core, and Blazor. Those who are familiar only with the newer versions are unaware of the pitfalls of the older ones.
3. Transparent fixed-price packages. Day-rate contracts without a clear scope of work are a red flag. Insist on fixed prices for defined results delivered in small, verifiable increments.
4. Cloud and AI expertise from a single source..NET 10 thrives in the cloud and embraces AI. A good partner masters Azure, .NET Aspire, Native AOT, and Semantic Kernel—not just as buzzwords, but in real-world projects.
That's why prodot is your .NET service provider

- Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering: Production data acquisition, condition monitoring dashboards, OPC UA integration with .NET.
- Logistics and Transportation: Procurement and inventory management systems, highly scalable .NET backends, cloud migration of existing applications.
- Retail: Offer management, price optimization, and inventory management based on ASP.NET Core.
- Insurance: Policy management, claims processing, and sales applications built on BaFin-compliant architectures.
- Municipal utilities and energy providers: Citizen portals, billing systems, and specialized processes compliant with BSI standards.
- Public Sector: Line-of-business applications for administrative processes with high data protection requirements and accessibility standards.

Frequently Asked Questions About .NET Service Providers
-
What sets prodot apart from other .NET service providers?
We bring together architecture, development, and operations in a single team at our Duisburg location. Software architects and .NET developers work together on your project. Instead of PowerPoint concepts that are disconnected from IT reality, we deliver productive .NET systems that we continue to help operate even after go-live. We’ve been working with .NET Framework since version 1.1 and know the pitfalls of every migration from our own projects.
-
Is .NET still future-proof and open source?
Yes. Since the release of .NET Core, the platform has been fully open source, cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS), and is actively being developed. .NET 10 (LTS) is supported through November 2028, while .NET 8 (LTS) will reach end-of-life in November 2026. According to the 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey, 19.7 percent of all developers use ASP.NET Core in production—making .NET one of the top backend technologies worldwide.
-
How long does it take to migrate from .NET Framework to .NET 10?
That depends on the size, architecture, and the chosen modernization path. We provide an assessment with clear recommendations within four to six weeks. Rehosting smaller applications can be done in just a few weeks. A complete replatform using ASP.NET Core, EF Core, and Azure integration typically takes three to nine months. We deliver in short sprints with working milestones—no big-bang approach.
-
How much does .NET development cost at prodot?
We work with fixed prices for clearly defined deliverables. An architecture assessment typically falls in the low four-digit range, while a migration pilot falls in the five-digit range. The total cost is determined by the size of the existing codebase, the depth of integration with surrounding systems, and the requirements for the cloud and operations. We deliberately do not offer projects based on daily rates without a defined scope of work. We discuss all costs transparently before the project begins.
-
What will happen to my existing .NET Framework applications?
We evaluate each legacy application individually based on business value, risk, and technical condition. Three typical approaches: Rehost (migrating the application 1:1 to .NET 10 with minimal changes), Replatform (migrating to ASP.NET Core, EF Core, and the cloud), or Rebuild (rebuilding critical modules with a clean architecture). We combine these strategies on a per-module basis and never take production applications offline without a functioning replacement.
-
Why .NET instead of Java, Node.js, or Python?
.NET is an enterprise standard with a high level of maturity and reliable vendor support from Microsoft. Today, it is open source, platform-independent, and high-performing. For applications with close ties to Azure, Microsoft 365 integration, Windows desktop clients, or an existing .NET team, it is the obvious choice. However, we are also familiar with Java and Node.js environments and will advise you impartially if your requirements point in that direction.
