7 Reasons to Move COBOL to the Cloud

COBOL has been around for nearly 60 years and is an indispensible workhorse for leading companies around the world. COBOL is stable and reliable and with the ability to process billions of transactions with ease, it isn't going away any time soon.

So why do CIOs have a “love-hate” relationship with COBOL? Maybe the real challenge is with the platform COBOL runs on. These legacy systems can be expensive to operate and maintain, the needed skills are in short and diminishing supply, and today’s global, mobile, always-on environment is placing new digital demands on existing applications that they never designed to deal with.

We’ll also explain how the right mix of tools, technology and best practices can deliver new benefits while reducing cost and risk. You’ll learn:
