View this Futurum research brief to learn how mainframe modernization practices can help enterprises leverage their existing IT assets and make them more agile, cost-effective, and usable long into the future.
Discover a new path to cloud. For enterprise organizations invested in COBOL and mainframe applications, explore how to leverage the cloud as part of your application modernization strategy.
Start your modernization journey with a new cloud readiness checklist from OpenText. Plan your steps to cloud and path to greater engineering agility through automation, analysis, insights, application assessment, source code management, unit testing, continuous integration, and more.
“Collaborating with Micro Focus (now part of OpenText), we consolidated our disparate platforms and gained a better structured backup and disaster recovery process. We delivered 45% percent cost savings, improved our development productivity by 60% percent, and drastically reduced the risk to business continuity.“
“Having the connection between our transaction-led, batch-processing operational systems, and modern, often cloud-based data analytics solutions is invaluable to us. Micro Focus (now part of OpenText™) enabled us to build and unify a new data-driven backbone for our company. With this backbone we can leverage new technologies...[and] our COBOL applications continue to give us a competitive edge through modernization.”
“When we first invested in COBOL decades ago, who would have thought that streaming music would even be a thing? But here we are, and it is testimony to the longevity of COBOL and the strategic direction of Micro Focus (now part of OpenText™) that we are successfully riding the digital transformation wave in our industry.”
“It has been fantastic to migrate to cloud computing and a continuous delivery model while reusing our valuable business logic and providing full business continuity to our clients. The decision to write InvestOne in COBOL all those years ago has definitely paid off for us.”
“The new Micro Focus (now part of OpenText™) development environment has opened our eyes to so much opportunity. We are looking to move to a DevOps model with more end-to-end serviceability in the cloud. Our productivity has increased by 30 percent and we are more responsive to the business.”
“Leveraging Visual COBOL we created a CI/CD and container pipeline approach in AWS to give us rapid deployment capability. Instead of two major releases each year, over the last 12 months we deployed 800 times.”
“Intelligent data analytics drives data-driven decision-making. Leveraging the new infrastructure, we use machine learning models to more accurately allocate stock to stores, correlating sales directly with seasonal stock projections and loss analysis. We weren’t able to do this until Micro Focus helped us unlock the valuable data we have.”
“Deploying Enterprise Analyzer gives our developers rapid insights and complete impact analysis in their customer’s mainframe system. Enterprise Analyzer also provides metrics related to the application size, complexity, criticality, and stability; all great indicators of the technical complexity the application represents.”
