If mainframe and COBOL are at the heart of your operations, breaking the bounds of mainframe architecture to scale and innovate at speed can seem daunting. Fortunately, you can accelerate your digital transformation journey while staying agile in today’s fast-paced multi-cloud world.
Starting Wednesday, January 24, 2024, OpenText’s Application Modernization experts will launch the first in a series of regular, monthly webinars focusing on COBOL and dedicated to the community of COBOL professionals—as they discuss how you can build on the proven IT investments you rely on every day to:
- Deliver continuous value while managing a fast-paced and ever-changing IT landscape
- Innovate faster, with lower risk, by transforming your core business applications, processes, and infrastructure—from mainframe to cloud
- Embrace clean code with reformatting and refactoring techniques
Join us each month as we explore a specific COBOL topic:
- January 24, 2024: Enhancing Code Readability and Enabling Cross-Platform COBOL Program Integration In this webinar, you’ll discover strategies to enhance the readability of mature COBOL code, which can often be challenging to comprehend. This knowledge will aid in reducing the expenses associated with modifying existing applications. The webinar’s second segment will guide you on how to automatically partition (refactor) existing COBOL code, preparing it for integration with other tools, platforms, and programming languages.
- February 28, 2024: Transforming COBOL Programs into Web Services and Streamlining Deployment with Containers Unlock the power of your legacy COBOL code in our upcoming webinar! Discover how to transform refactored COBOL code into versatile XML or REST Web Services, seamlessly integrating with a multitude of development languages and tools. We’ll guide you through the process of deploying COBOL-based Web Services using cutting-edge container technology. Don’t miss this opportunity to modernize your applications and propel your business into the future!
- March 27, 2024: Integrating COBOL with Java and .NET: A Seamless Integration Approach Join us and see how to integrate COBOL code into Java and .NET development projects effortlessly.
