LEGACY CODE EXPERTISE
You can’t spell COBOL without ‘COOL’. Let’s not forget RPG and JAVA. Unlike other consulting firms that have “jumped ship” for new technology waves, we know these production solutions are often still performing effectively with no business case for replacement. We have been there for our customers with these technologies in the past, and we will continue to be there for years to come. These tools have existed for a long time, and we have extensive experience developing, enhancing, and integrating solutions in these environments for many years. Considering the millions of lines of legacy code in production today, it will be many years before they are replaced. What some may term ‘old’ or ‘legacy’, we say, ‘tried and true’, and we can help you take advantage of your investment.
