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.”
