COBOL remains a cornerstone of global business operations powering 70% of the world's business transaction processing across industries such as banking, insurance, travel, retail, and government. However, running COBOL that has not been modernized – combined with outdated engineering tools and practices – can slow innovation, increase operational risk, and expose systems to today's security threats. Organizations with COBOL at their core can no longer afford to operate on outdated applications and systems or take unnecessary, expensive risks with application rewrite projects.Â
However, for many people, COBOL's reputation is clouded by a number of persistent myths and misunderstandings – even those familiar with COBOL may still judge it based on how it looked and operated over 30 years ago.
