Abstract

The evolution of web application frameworks has profoundly influenced the landscape of enterprise software development, enabling enhanced scalability, cross-platform functionality, and integration with emerging digital technologies. Among these frameworks, ASP.NET has undergone significant transformations, culminating in the release of ASP.NET Core, which offers developers advanced tools, improved performance, and flexibility in application deployment across heterogeneous environments (Valiveti, 2025). This research provides a holistic examination of ASP.NET Core’s evolution from traditional ASP.NET, highlighting the methodological approaches employed in its development, the underlying strategies guiding its adoption, and its comparative advantages over alternative platforms such as Flutter and React Native (Gülcüoğlu, Ustun & Seyhan, 2021). The study integrates conceptual frameworks of digital platform evolution, cross-platform integration strategies, and automation in enterprise systems to situate ASP.NET Core within broader organizational and technological contexts (Nitsche, Straube & Wirth, 2021; Schreieck, Ondrus, Wiesche & Krcmar, 2024).

Utilizing a systematic literature synthesis, this research examines the drivers of ASP.NET Core adoption, including performance optimization, modular architecture, and alignment with emerging trends in cloud-based deployment and microservices. Additionally, the study explores the implications of these technological shifts on logistics and service-oriented industries, particularly with respect to cross-platform mobile applications and innovative transport logistics systems (Dires & Supekova, 2023; Serdyukova, Bashirzade & Pakhomova, 2020). Through critical analysis of contemporary digital platform strategies, the research demonstrates how ASP.NET Core’s modularity and extensibility facilitate ecosystem orchestration, inter-organizational network integration, and responsive adaptation to market-driven disruptions (Autio, 2022; Shipilov & Gawer, 2020). The findings reveal that organizations leveraging ASP.NET Core experience enhanced agility, reduced development cycles, and improved capacity to integrate emerging technologies, including data-driven decision-making and intelligent automation (Faget, 2024; Cusumano, Gawer & Yoffie, 2019).

This study contributes to the scholarly discourse by bridging technical, managerial, and strategic perspectives, offering a comprehensive framework for understanding the multifaceted impact of ASP.NET Core on contemporary enterprise systems. The research underscores the necessity for enterprises to adopt adaptive development strategies that reconcile legacy system constraints with the imperatives of digital transformation and platform-based innovation. Furthermore, this study identifies critical gaps in existing literature concerning empirical assessments of performance outcomes, adoption barriers, and integration challenges associated with ASP.NET Core, providing a foundation for future research in software engineering, platform innovation, and digital ecosystem management.
