migrate!COBOL is a toolset designed to migrate applications from COBOL to COBOL.   migrate!COBOL's fully-automated process offers highly reliable conversion at greatly reduced timescales.

Its modular approach copes with a variety of migration paths: for instance Unisys Cobol74 to Micro Focus Cobol85. Each variety of origin and target Cobol is simply a different set of modules.

migrate!COBOL enable users with significant investments in proprietary Cobol Applications, like Unisys Cobol74, to take advantage of new Open Systems technology and improved productivity or move to another proprietary Cobol, like IBM.

Cost-effective, tried and tested, the migrate!COBOL conversion methodology offers you the opportunity to upgrade to new technology while preserving your investment in application development.

The business case for migration:

The following combination of factors makes a convincing case for shifting from proprietary Cobol applications:

• Increasing software maintenance costs
• Capacity constraints
• Limited and costly hardware upgrades

If your organization needs to move from proprietary COBOL applications, to an Open System or other proprietary COBOL, then migrate!COBOL offers the best, most cost-effective route for your migration.

By using migrate!COBOL to move to Open System or other proprietary COBOL, you will be able to upgrade and enhance your systems to meet your needs more easily, taking advantage of Open Systems and modern technology.

Significant time and cost savings can be achieved by using migrate!COBOL. Not only is the code conversion accomplished in days, not months, but also the verification and testing phases are significantly shortened by using automated file and database comparisons. Project timescales are considerably shortened.

migrate!COBOL Summary:

1. Proprietary COBOL to Open Systems or other proprietary COBOL migration offers a conversion path to new technology.
2. Preserves your application investment, reducing your costs and maximizing productivity.
3. Fully-automated process offers highly reliable conversion at greatly reduced time scales.
