Micro Focus COBOL to Java/C#
The evolution towards open systems
Evolution from Micro Focus COBOL to Java/C#.
Micro Focus COBOL has been a popular choice for reducing processing loads on mainframe systems by shifting these loads to departmental platforms.
The savings derived from the reduction of Mips consumption, however, are questioned by the existence of some issues.
On one hand, fundamental legacy components such as the COBOL language or the transaction-oriented architecture are not replaced, maintaining the dependency on these technologies, which present disadvantages similar to those previously existing on the mainframe.
Among these disadvantages are also the rigidity of execution and the marked scarcity of technicians available to maintain these legacy technologies.
In most cases, there is a need for more flexible, scalable, and secure infrastructures. Moreover, this solution has a high Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), due to the high prices of licenses. These costs question the advantage of savings.
The evolution towards open systems and free from license fees.
BASE100 brings all its experience to overcome the situations described associated with Microsoft systems.
The Caravel suite is a well-proven tool that allows for efficient migrations from those systems to more modern platforms based on Java or C#.
The solution of Micro Focus COBOL means not only staying in a Legacy technology but also facing recurring and high license fees. In that situation, migrating to platforms based on Java or C# not only represents a significant leap towards a more effective technological platform but also a significant cost saving.
Specific features:
BASE100’s technology analyzes and modernizes the various versions of Micro Focus COBOL and is responsible for verifying the integrations of COBOL + CICS, COBOL + IMS, or COBOL + VSAM, to ensure a clean and secure transformation.
The target platform can be defined with total freedom, without restrictions, and the produced code is completely secure and maintainable.
The conversions produce a system 100% free of license costs, in pure Java or C#.
The evolution from Micro Focus to truly open systems is an essential path in the medium and long term.
