Impact if not Resolved: High
Impact Description:

If this migration is not completed, we risk increasing technical debt and operational overhead due to the aging ColdFusion platform. Continued reliance on outdated technology could lead to performance limitations, higher maintenance costs, and potential security vulnerabilities. Additionally, as ColdFusion support and developer availability decline, it will become increasingly difficult to maintain and enhance the application, limiting our ability to meet evolving business and user needs.

What is the Business Problem or Opportunity

We are initiating the migration of our public-facing application from the ColdFusion platform to .NET. This transition is part of our ongoing efforts to modernize our technology stack and improve long-term maintainability, performance, and security. The project will involve porting the current application functionality to the .NET framework while preserving the existing user experience and interface wherever possible.

Expected Benefit:

This upgrade will bring several key benefits. The .NET platform offers enhanced performance, broader developer support, improved scalability, and access to modern development tools. These advantages will enable us to respond to user needs more effectively, reduce technical debt, and position the application for future enhancements and integrations.

Any Additional Information:

We expect minimal impact on users during the migration. The transition is being planned with careful attention to continuity, and we will ensure that all functionality is thoroughly tested before go-live. We will provide updates throughout the process and communicate any required outages or changes well in advance.
