Convert COBOL to Java and truly aim for Application Modernization

In recent months, I've discovered that sifting through, understanding, refactoring and shipping updates to legacy COBOL applications is NOT an easy task. In several conversations with our clients and my teams' experts (Anthony Loupos and Jennifer McComas) its become incredibly clear how difficult it can be. It goes significantly beyond just thinking about the updates to critical core banking / insurance we'd like to make; they're often an entirely different architectural design, not well documented and skills to understand them are sparse. These applications may stand the test of time for running efficiently and effectively (for their original design), but if we want to make alterations to improve a customer experience, for example, that is a whole undertaking. • IBM's new watsonx Code Assistant for Z is leveraging #generativeai to help tackle the following: • 1) Make it easier to sift through and navigate these tightly coupled, legacy applications. • 2) Translate code to make it understandable to a larger talent pool. • 3) Ensure any steps we take to accelerate this process doesn’t break mission critical applications. • We're helping our clients attack the always present battle of #technicaldebt, so let's discuss the projects you've got going for #mainframemodernization today! • - • Shout out to Nicole Park Anthony Loupos for your expertise and Ian Smalley and the whole IBM Technology YouTube team for continually producing high quality demos. • For more information on watsonx Code Assistant for Z: https://www.ibm.com/products/watsonx-... • For more IBM Technology demos: / @ibmtechnology
