Custom software development in Minneapolis
Parka Software is a software development company in downtown Minneapolis. We build new .NET applications, take over unfinished ones and support them for years. The engineer who scopes your project builds it.
What we do
New applications. Web applications, internal tools and data platforms on ASP.NET Core, SQL Server, React and Azure.
Project takeovers. Starting with a fixed-fee assessment of what you own and what finishing it costs.
Legacy migration. .NET Framework, WebForms and older Umbraco moved to supported versions.
Integrations. Systems that should share data and currently depend on re-keying.
Ongoing support. A month-to-month retainer with a named engineer.
Work for Minnesota organizations
Minnesota Secretary of State. The state's official website migrated from Umbraco 7 to 14 and from .NET Framework to .NET Core, with the public site up throughout.
AGC of Minnesota. Event registration and membership management, integrated with QuickBooks and Constant Contact.

Common questions
Does Parka Software build new applications, or only rescue existing ones?
Both. Takeovers and migrations are the specialty, and the same team builds greenfield .NET applications from a blank repository. A new build starts with a scoping conversation and a written estimate.
What technology does Parka Software work in?
C# and .NET, including ASP.NET Core and Umbraco, with SQL Server and Azure underneath and React on the front end. If your system is on a different stack, say so in the first conversation. Sometimes the right answer is a referral.
How does a project start?
With a conversation that costs nothing. For an existing system, the next step is usually a fixed-fee assessment that produces a written account of what exists, the risks and what each option costs. You can take that document to any developer.
Do you work with organizations outside the Twin Cities?
Yes. Parka works with clients across Minnesota and nationally, including federal health data programs and law firms in other states.
