.NET development and modernization for systems the business runs on

Centricone builds on ASP.NET Core and moves legacy .NET Framework applications forward — usually the systems that carry operations, where correctness and continuity matter more than novelty.

What we build

What we build with .NET

ASP.NET Core APIs and applications

Typed, testable services with dependency injection and configuration handled the way the platform intends, rather than fought.

Framework to Core modernization

Legacy .NET Framework applications moved forward in stages, with the parts that cannot move identified early rather than discovered at the end.

Entity Framework performance work

The N+1 queries, tracking overhead, and unbounded includes that make EF-based systems slow — found with profiling and fixed without abandoning the ORM.

When .NET is the right call — and when it is not

We would rather talk you out of a stack than deliver the wrong one well.

Reach for it when

  • Organizations already invested in Microsoft identity, tooling, and Azure
  • Line-of-business systems where long-term support and stability outweigh trend
  • Teams needing strong typing and mature tooling on the backend

Pick something else when

  • Teams with no Microsoft ecosystem presence, where hiring may be harder
  • Small services where the framework's structure exceeds the problem
  • Workloads whose libraries genuinely live in the Python or Node ecosystems

What we normally run alongside it

No stack is one tool. These are the pieces that usually show up with .NET on our projects.

  • C#
  • ASP.NET Core
  • Entity Framework
  • SQL Server
  • Azure

Need people rather than a project?

We place .NET engineers into your own team on contract or contract-to-hire.

.NET questions we get asked

Weighing it against something else? Tell us the constraints and we’ll give you a straight recommendation.

Usually yes, and the driver is support and performance rather than fashion. The blockers are typically WCF, WebForms, and Windows-specific dependencies — we assess those first and give you a staged plan rather than a rewrite proposal.
Modern .NET, yes — that is one of the main gains from moving off Framework, and it usually reduces hosting cost. .NET Framework applications remain Windows-bound.
Either. SQL Server is the default pairing and works well; PostgreSQL is fully supported and often cheaper. The decision usually comes down to existing licences and your team's operational experience.
Both are safe long-term choices and neither is a mistake. .NET tends to win where the organisation already runs Microsoft identity, SQL Server, and Azure; Java where the estate is Linux, Oracle, or an existing JVM platform. The existing environment should decide this far more than any language comparison.
It depends almost entirely on what the application depends on rather than its size. Code that is mostly business logic ports quickly. The time goes into WCF, WebForms, and anything bound to IIS or the Windows registry, because each needs a replacement rather than a recompile. We audit those first and give a range against the findings.
We can, and it makes sense when you have an existing .NET team and shared business logic worth reusing. If there is no .NET investment to build on, React Native or Flutter have deeper ecosystems and a larger hiring pool, and we will say so rather than sell the stack we are already on.
