Rocket COBOL things we're proud of this month Hi everyone, Welcome to Rocket® COBOL Fuel, your monthly source for all things COBOL. In this issue, you’ll learn about the Technical Debt Management tools and the ongoing Beta Program.  A 5-Step Recipe for Technical Debt Management   What if all the industry noise around technical debt is missing your organization’s greatest opportunity? Every IT leader feels the silent drag: legacy code that slows down innovation, rising operational costs, and talent tied up maintaining what’s already there. But what if you stopped viewing technical debt as an immovable anchor, and started treating it as a roadmap for strategic modernization? The technical debt management market is rapidly evolving, and so is the conversation. In fact, Gartner® has just issued its first Magic Quadrant™ for technical debt management tools and named Rocket Software a Challenger with solutions including Rocket COBOL Analyzer. Below, you’ll find a practical, step-by-step reci

Rocket ACUCOBOL things we're proud of this month Hi everyone, Welcome to Rocket® ACUCOBOL Fuel, your monthly source for all things COBOL.

You’re not blocked by ideas—you’re blocked by reality.Fragmented systems, duplicated pipelines, and inconsistent data are what data teams deal with every day. They don’t just struggle to access data—they struggle to trust it, reconcile it, and use it without rework.As demands increase, from real-time operations to AI, those problems compound. Data arrives late, context is lost across handoffs, and decisions are made on incomplete or misaligned information. Instead of moving faster, teams spend more time rebuilding confidence in the data than acting on it.The challenge isn’t access. It’s consistency, trust, and timing—at scale.That’s where a more connected, governed approach to data becomes critical. Rocket DataEdge addresses these challenges by enabling discovery, access, delivery, and governance across systems—without forcing consolidation or duplication. This shift reduces rework, improves consistency, and makes it possible to move faster without losing control.Watch the webinar

New RDRS WebinarThursday, July 2, 10:00 - 10:45am BSTData replication in the age of AI, ML, and real time analyticsData teams now spend 53% of their time just keeping pipelines running—not delivering new value. That’s time you don’t have.Real time is no longer a goal. It’s an expectation. Because your data pipelines don’t just move data anymore, they drive decisions. As AI and real-time analytics become the norm, data must be delivered with speed, accuracy, and accountability. Join us to learn how modern replication approaches help reduce risk, limit data sprawl, and deliver trusted, low-latency data across hybrid environments - without sacrificing control or cost.In this session, you’ll learn how to•    Balance latency vs. consistency in real-world architectures•    Choose between fan-out and point-to-point replication models•    Design replay and recovery strategies for resilience•    Use CDC pipelines to support AI and operational analytics without introducing unnecessary risk or co

 Today, we’re celebrating a big milestone: in a year, we’ve grown by a quarter 🎉Eight thousand voices, ideas, questions, wins, and shared ambition. This community exists because you show up, contribute, challenge, and build alongside each other, and we don’t take that for granted.  As we grow, it’s important to us that Rocket Forum continues to serve you.  That’s why we’re launching a community survey to hear directly from our members about what’s working, what could be better, and where we should go next. Your perspective matters, and it will directly shape the future of this space.  And because gratitude should be felt, not just said, we’re also giving back. Ten randomly selected members who complete the survey will receive a $50 e‑gift card as a small thank‑you for taking the time to share your experience. Survey has been closed.Thank you for being part of Rocket Forum. We move forward with Rocket Software’s values in mind: Empathy, humanity, trust and love!

May we share some Rocket COBOL updates?Hi everyone,Welcome to Rocket® COBOL Fuel, your monthly source for all things COBOL. In this issue, you’ll learn about the GenAI-driven unit testing for COBOL applications, COBOL x JSON capabilities, and COBOL events. Unlock Unit Testing for COBOLwith GenAI [Watch webinar recording] You’re already testing applications today but as the pressure to deliver software faster and more frequently grows, unit testing becomes essential to ensuring quality long before code ever leaves the engineering team.COBOL applications were not originally designed with unit testing in mind, making adoption challenging. GenAI changes that.  This month, we’re excited to introduce AI‑driven unit testing for COBOL through a beta program and webinar. Watch the webinar recording to see the AI Unit Testing demo in action and join the beta to be among the first to try these new capabilities. COBOL x JSON Demo We’re excited to welcome you to the new episode of COBOL in Action,

Hi everyone,I’d like to invite you to our upcoming webinar, Unlock COBOL Unit Testing with GenAI, on May 27 at 10 a.m. ET / 3 p.m. GMT. You’re already testing COBOL applications today but as the pressure to deliver software faster and more frequently grows, unit testing becomes essential to ensuring quality long before code ever leaves the engineering team. That’s exactly what we’re going to address in the session.  You’ll learn about a new GenAI-driven capability that helps plan, generate, and analyze unit tests for COBOL, and see it in action through a demo. At the end we’ll have a live Q&A featuring Rocket product managers and engineers, so you’ll be able to ask us anything about unit testing, COBOL modernization, and Rocket solutions. Register here To make it more engaging, we’ll also have a COBOL quiz with gifts from Rocket® Software so make sure to join us live.
