Under Budget, Zero Disruption: Migrating a Bank Off a Dead Framework
ClearPoint Federal Bank & Trust partnered with Seven Hills Technology to modernize their legacy .NET platform, migrating to .NET 8 and EF Core without disrupting operations. The upgrade improved performance, reduced costs, and delivered a future-ready infrastructure — all under budget.
Client Overview
ClearPoint Federal Bank & Trust is a federally chartered savings bank specializing in fiduciary and investment services for funeral homes and cemeteries across the country. Their proprietary recordkeeping platform ensures precise and secure administration of preneed contracts, trusts, and funeral-related disbursements.
The Challenge: Modernizing Without Disruption
ClearPoint's legacy .NET 4.8 API had been a dependable backbone for years, but it was built on a framework no longer in active development by Microsoft. The platform carried growing risks including limited access to modern APIs, security-only long-term support, and costly deployment options.
Our Approach
- Direct Framework Upgrade: Migrated the API from .NET Framework 4.8 and EF6 to .NET 8 and EF Core
- Strategic Code Cleanup: Removed unused backend logic, simplifying the codebase
- Entity Framework Core Migration: Reworked database mappings for a large, interconnected schema
- Collaborative Testing & QA: Both teams split application sections for testing, achieving zero end-user disruption
