COBOL Colleague Solves Your Critical Business Problems

Reduce Cost

Code that is difficult to understand is expensive to change. Two-thirds (66%) of budgets are devoted to maintaining old code.

Reduce Complexity

34% of CIOs identify the complexity of systems as the top contributors to project failure. The risk of change is holding your business back.

If you don’t understand your code, you can’t have the confidence to change it. Developers can make changes with confidence and precision using Colleague.

Replace Lost Knowledge

The average age of COBOL developers is 55 years old. As they retire, knowledge about enterprise applications leaves. Who knows your system now?

Colleague reveals every business process that has ever been implemented in your code. Our powerful AI can help you slash the learning curve from years to days.

Increase Productivity

Code comprehension takes longer than changing code. Developers spend 74% of their time understanding code--not writing code.

Colleague understands your code at machine speed. Swiftly deliver code changes to production so your business can continue moving forward.
