The Problem

Legacy Systems Are a Ticking Time Bomb

COBOL still powers 95% of ATM transactions, 80% of in-person transactions, and 75% of the world's business data processing. But the workforce that maintains it is disappearing.

Our Process

How It Works

A battle-tested four-phase methodology that minimizes risk and maximizes velocity. From assessment to deployment in as little as 16 weeks.

Phase 12-4 weeks

Discovery & Assessment

We analyze your entire COBOL codebase — every program, copybook, and JCL script. Our AI maps dependencies, identifies complexity hotspots, and produces a comprehensive migration roadmap with effort estimates.

Phase 22-3 weeks

Architecture Design

We design the target architecture — microservices, APIs, cloud infrastructure. Every decision is documented, reviewed with your team, and optimized for your specific business requirements and compliance needs.

Phase 38-16 weeks

AI-Powered Migration

Our AI engine transforms COBOL code into clean, idiomatic modern code. Not a line-by-line translation — a true re-architecture that leverages modern patterns, frameworks, and best practices.

Phase 44-6 weeks

Testing & Deployment

Rigorous automated testing ensures functional parity. We run your existing test suites against the new system, perform load testing, and execute a phased rollout with zero-downtime cutover.

What We Do

End-to-End Modernization Services

From initial assessment to production deployment, we handle every stage of your legacy modernization journey.

Legacy Assessment

Comprehensive analysis of your COBOL codebase including complexity scoring, dependency mapping, risk assessment, and a detailed migration roadmap with timeline and cost estimates.

Code Migration

AI-powered transformation of COBOL programs to modern languages — Java, Python, or C#. Not line-by-line translation, but true re-architecture using modern patterns and frameworks.

COBOL → JavaCOBOL → PythonCOBOL → C#Business logic preservation

Database Modernization

Migrate from hierarchical databases (IMS, IDMS) and flat files to modern relational or NoSQL databases. Full data mapping, transformation, and validation included.

IMS/IDMS migrationSchema redesignData validationZero data loss

Cloud Migration

Move from mainframe infrastructure to AWS, Azure, or GCP. We handle containerization, CI/CD pipeline setup, monitoring, and infrastructure-as-code configuration.

Industries

Built for Regulated Industries

We specialize in high-stakes environments where failure is not an option. Our migration methodology is designed for industries with strict compliance and uptime requirements.

Banking & Finance

Core banking systems, payment processing, and transaction engines running on COBOL power trillions of dollars in daily transactions. Modernize without disrupting operations.

Real-time transaction processing
Regulatory compliance (SOX, PCI-DSS)
24/7 uptime requirements

Insurance

Policy administration, claims processing, and actuarial systems built decades ago still manage billions in policies. Transform them into agile, API-driven platforms.

Complex business rule engines
Multi-state regulatory compliance
Legacy data format migration

Healthcare

Patient records, billing systems, and claims adjudication platforms running COBOL process millions of transactions daily. Modernize to enable interoperability and digital health.

HIPAA compliance requirements
HL7/FHIR interoperability
Massive data migration needs

Government

Federal and state agencies depend on COBOL for tax processing, benefits distribution, and citizen services. Upgrade to meet modern digital government mandates.

Testimonials

Trusted by Technology Leaders

Hear from CTOs and CIOs who modernized their legacy systems with COBOL2Now.

COBOL2Now transformed our 30-year-old core banking platform in just 4 months. What impressed me most was the functional parity — every edge case, every business rule was preserved perfectly in the new Java codebase.

Sarah Chen
CIO, Pacific Northwest Savings Bank
We evaluated three consulting firms. The Big 4 quoted us 2+ years. COBOL2Now delivered a complete migration of our claims processing system in 16 weeks. The AI-powered approach isn't just faster — it produces cleaner code.

David Okonkwo
CTO, National Insurance Group
The knowledge transfer was exceptional. Our team didn't just receive new code — they understood it. COBOL2Now's documentation and training meant we were fully self-sufficient from day one of go-live.
