COBOL modernization refers to initiatives aimed at updating legacy applications written in this language to meet current technological demands. This can include:
- Code Reengineering: Adjusting COBOL code to improve performance, readability, and maintainability.
- Migration to Modern Environments: Running COBOL systems on cloud-based platforms or containers.
- Integration with APIs and Microservices: Making systems more flexible and accessible.
- Process Automation: Implementing tools like Control-M to manage workloads.
- Demand for Innovation: Legacy systems often lack the agility to meet modern business expectations.
- Shortage of Experienced Professionals: COBOL specialists are becoming rare, creating challenges in support and maintenance.
- Infrastructure Costs: These systems often operate on expensive and less cost-efficient mainframes.
- Security: Modernizing systems can enhance protection against cyber threats.
- Business Agility: Modernized systems enable faster responses to market changes.
- Simplified Integration: Improved interaction with modern systems and new technologies.
- Cost Reduction: Modern platforms often provide greater operational efficiency.
- Improved Scalability: Modernized systems are easier to expand to meet new requirements.
- System Assessment: Identify critical applications and pain points in the current system.
- Rehosting: Migrate applications to modern platforms without significantly altering the code.
- Refactoring: Update and optimize the code for better performance and maintenance.
- Rewrite or Replace: Rewrite applications in modern languages or adopt ready-made solutions.
- Automated Testing: Implement automated tests to ensure quality during the transition.
- Team Training: Train teams to handle both legacy and modern systems simultaneously.
- Global Bank: A major bank updated its COBOL code to integrate with modern APIs, reducing costs by 30% and improving system response time.
- Insurance Company: Updated its COBOL code to integrate with modern APIs, enabling new digital services for customers.
