The mainframe environment has long been the benchmark for inherent reliability, resilience, and stability. But organizations are constantly growing and developing, and so are their needs. Here are some of the most prominent limitations of legacy applications in addressing modern business demands.
Mainframe systems often hinder organizations’ abilities to respond to market demands, innovate, and achieve differentiation and growth. This can be solved with the modernization of the development processes.
Mainframe systems lack modularity, which makes the maintenance and development process slow and costly. This can be solved with a cost-optimized infrastructure and the horizontal scalability offered by the cloud.
With the speed of the current economy, the bar of users’ expectations is constantly being raised. Some mainframes cannot support modern practices and interfaces which impacts developers and customers alike. This can be solved with modernization, DevOps integration, and investing in customer and employee experiences that are data-driven, real-time, and personalized.
Old programming languages such as COBOL, Natural, PL1, EGL, ADS, or Assembler are gradually disappearing from the universities’ curriculum, leading to a talent crisis as experts retire. This can be solved with data automated conversion and migrating to new modern programming languages.
CobolBridge is Anubex's newest solution that allows organizations to combine maintaining COBOL code with executing Java/C#. It enables IT teams to benefit from the advantages of a modern and open platform like Java or .NET while still using COBOL.
The process entailed over 8 million lines of Natural code in production at various branches of the bank in 15 countries to Enterprise COBOL. The developers can now maintain the transformed code using leading, modern development tools like Eclipse.
Get an in-depth understanding of how COBOL can be transformed into working, maintainable C# code through automated code transformation.
