COBOL to Java & C#
• Predictable & Repeatable
SoftwareMining is a long-established provider of automated, rule-based COBOL-to-Java and COBOL-to-C# translation technology. Its tools help organizations modernize mission-critical applications while retaining control of source code, business data, testing and deployment.
Since 2001, SoftwareMining has specialized in transforming legacy COBOL systems into maintainable Java or C# applications. Its technology represents more than 80 developer-years of research and development, combining deep mainframe expertise with advanced automation for mission-critical enterprise modernization.
SoftwareMining completed its first major Java translation for a US State government in 2006. The resulting application operated successfully in production for many years, demonstrating the long-term reliability of SoftwareMining's translation technology.
The translator uses compiler technology, predefined transformation rules, pattern matching, control-flow analysis and graph theory. This non-AI, rule-based approach produces predictable, repeatable and auditable Java or C# code while preserving the established business logic represented by the original COBOL application.
SoftwareMining provides its translation toolkit directly to enterprise customers and system integrators. Modernization teams can operate the tools within the client's own infrastructure and manage analysis, translation, testing, integration and deployment using their own developers and resources.
Customers retain ownership of the generated source code and control of the modernization process. SoftwareMining provides training, technical guidance and support to help project teams reduce cost, manage risk and validate functional equivalence.
