What we see with COBOL and mainframe
COBOL programs and batch processing on mainframes or emulated environments.
Typical situations:
- Batch jobs that run every night and that nobody on staff understands.
- Source code with decades of small changes.
- A contract with a hosting provider that is up for renewal.
What we do
- Begin with a read-only inventory of programs, jobs and data flows.
- Document what each job produces and who depends on it.
- Tell you plainly whether we can help, or who should.
What this includes
COBOL programs, JCL batch jobs and the files and databases they process.
By arrangement
COBOL and mainframe is supported by arrangement. We start with a Takeover Assessment to see what you have and what is feasible. For this stack we may bring in a specialist for part of the work, and we say so in the written scope and the quote before anything begins. We will tell you plainly if we are not the right fit.
Every engagement starts read-only. We write write-access terms into a signed agreement first, and a person reviews every change before it reaches a live system. Our work is AI-assisted and human-reviewed, and we tell you how at the start.
