💡 Behind-the-Scenes | Mini Case Study Spotlight One of our clients modernised their 30-year-old COBOL applications by exposing legacy core systems as APIs—achieving zero downtime throughout the process. Within just four months, they realised $300k in savings, maintained regulatory compliance, and gained the agility to integrate seamlessly with cloud-native platforms. By implementing monitoring and remediation for MQ and Adabas integrations, we helped move their systems from recurring outages to 99.9% uptime. Today, their IT Operations team focuses on optimisation rather than firefighting—showcasing the real impact of incremental modernisation done right. 💬 Curious how your legacy systems can be modernised without disruption? 🔗 Contact us 👉 https://lnkd.in/de8sfRWF #MiddlewareTechnologies #LegacyModernisation #APIIntegration #HybridCloud #COBOLModernisation #DigitalTransformation #ITOperations #EnterpriseIT #IntegrationSolutions #TechSuccess #OperationalExcellence #FutureReadyIT

Runtime Fees: The Hidden Tax in Your Tech Stack In COBOL environments, runtime-based licensing imposes recurring costs each time an application is executed—costs that persist well beyond the initial compiler purchase. While initially tolerable in controlled, limited use environments, https://lnkd.in/ghajzdZn

Focus on Performance Tuning Headline Idea (if platform allows): ⚡️ The Millisecond Battle: Mainframe Performance Tuning is More Critical Than Ever In the world of high-volume transactions, a millisecond is the difference between seamless service and a frustrated customer. Mainframe performance tuning isn't just a "nice-to-have"; it's the bedrock of business continuity and cost efficiency. The Challenge: Slow-running batch jobs or inefficient online transactions directly impact CPU consumption and licensing costs. My Focus Now: Deep diving into COBOL optimization techniques (e.g., proper indexing, minimizing I/O, efficient loop structures) and leveraging SMF data analysis to pinpoint bottlenecks in CICS and DB2. Question for the Mainframe Community: What is your go-to quick win for immediate performance improvement in a legacy batch application? #Mainframe #PerformanceTuning #zOS #COBOL #ITLeadership #TechSkills #Optimization

COBOL isn't just surviving - it's thriving in 2025. The numbers are mind-blowing: • Processing $3 trillion in daily transactions • Handling 1.5M+ banking operations per second • Maintaining 99.999% uptime consistently • Powering 95% of ATM transactions globally But here's what most people don't know... Major banks have spent billions trying to replace it: → Hundreds Fortune 500 modernization attempts → Majority failed after $50M+ investments → Years of development wasted The reason is simple: COBOL delivers unmatched performance: • Response times • 90% fewer errors than modern systems • Near-zero downtime compared to newer tech (the problem tends to be infra and not the cobol itself) The world's financial infrastructure runs on 60-year-old technology. And it's not going anywhere. Sometimes the oldest solutions are still the best ones.
