Senior .NET consulting
for systems that
have to work.

Healthcare organizations, law firms and regional businesses rely on this practice for integrations, legacy migrations and platforms that carry real operational weight. Based in Minneapolis, engaged nationally.

Let's talk about the project

These situations are common.

An application running a core business process was built years ago and has never been replaced — it still works, and the cost and risk of replacing it are real. The people who built it have moved on. The institutional knowledge about how it operates has largely gone with them.

Two systems that need to share data don't. The gap has been filled with manual steps and workarounds that have accumulated their own complexity. Getting the integration done properly has stayed on the roadmap, but scoping what it would actually take keeps getting deferred.

An outside firm is on the project. The engineer who did the initial scoping has moved to other engagements. Six months in, the people doing the work are building from documentation rather than from the original decisions — and some of what drove those decisions didn't make it into the docs.

The document management platform is the system of record for everything the organization runs. The integrations connecting it to billing, search and the client portal have been built up over years. What they do, and what a platform upgrade would affect, is knowledge that lives with a handful of people who may not always be around.

Parka Software is Clint McMahon. Twenty years of .NET work concentrated in two industries: healthcare organizations running complex data registries and regulatory reporting platforms, and law firms managing document management, billing and research systems.

Concentrating in the same industries over time builds a kind of pattern recognition that's hard to replicate. The integration problem your team is scoping today has usually come up somewhere else first — in a slightly different form, with a different platform, and with some combination of what worked and what didn't. That context changes how long scoping takes, what questions get asked early, and what edge cases get caught before they become production problems.

When you reach out, you're talking to the engineer who will do the work. No account managers, no handoffs, no junior developer assigned after the contract is signed.
