Hi everyone,A few weeks ago, Scot Nielsen, Vice President of Product Management, sat down with Channel Insider to discuss COBOL modernization, a topic that continues to shape enterprise technology strategies.The conversation explored some of the most pressing challenges organizations face when not modernizing COBOL systems, including:Preserving decades of proven business logic without disrupting operations   Making COBOL development attractive and streamlined for both seasoned engineers and new talent   Ensuring robust security for COBOL applications at the core of business, especially when integrated with numerous third-party services“We want to find ways to always help the organization leverage those [proven COBOL applications] rather than having to do something more profoundly risky like a rewrite. From a high-level perspective, it’s about leveraging what works — what you know works as an organization — rather than ripping it out and starting again.”Scot NielsenIf you hear question
