COBOL to Java, C#
& Cloud
This video walks through SoftwareMining's approach to COBOL-to-Java or C# modernization. It explains why translation is often the smallest cost, how to plan testing, and what to watch for in data migration and online screens.
SoftwareMining helps large organizations modernize mission-critical COBOL systems into maintainable Java or C#. The process is automated, auditable, and designed for secure in-house execution, so source code and data remain under your control.
This video walks through a typical COBOL-to-Java or C# modernization project. It compares automatic translation with manual rewrite, explains why testing is the largest cost, and shows how data migration and online screen handling fit into the plan. The aim is to lower risk while keeping full functional equivalence with the mainframe version.
