Visma Enterprise, a leading provider of HR and payroll solutions for over 250,000 citizens and 1,500 employers, faced challenges with its COBOL-based application environment, including:
- Limited release frequency (monthly)
- Manual CI/CD processes
- Difficulty sourcing COBOL expertise
To address these issues, Visma partnered with Rocket Software to modernize its infrastructure by:
- Replatforming COBOL applications to AWS without rewriting
- Migrating the database to Microsoft SQL Server
- Automating CI/CD pipelines
The modernization project was completed in nine months, delivering significant benefits:
- 50% reduction in infrastructure costs
- Increased release frequency from monthly to weekly
- 64% improvement in developer engagement
This case demonstrates how organizations can achieve modernization without disruption, leveraging existing COBOL investments while adopting cloud technologies.
