Modernize COBOL Applications with Generative AI
Unlock agility. Reduce Costs.
Future-proof your enterprise software.
Modernize COBOL Applications, Effortlessly
Outdated COBOL systems are holding back innovation and driving up costs. They weren’t built for the demands of today’s digital enterprise. The longer they stay in place, the greater the operational risk.
At MorelandConnect, we use Generative AI to transform these legacy applications into modern, flexible systems, rapidly and precisely. We preserve your core business logic while preparing your organization for what’s next. Modernization doesn’t have to be slow or risky. With the right approach, it can be a strategic advantage.
Are Your Outdated COBOL Legacy Systems a Strategic Liability?
COBOL systems once powered the world’s largest enterprises. But today, they limit you ability to scale, adapt, and compete — especially as technologies like cloud and AI become table stakes.
So what’s the real cost of staying put?
Spiraling Maintenance Costs & A Shrinking Talent Pool
COBOL experts are retiring fast, and replacing them is costly—if you can find them at all. Maintenance becomes slower and more expensive every year, draining resources that should fuel growth.
Innovation Bottlenecks & Sluggish Market Response
Legacy systems make it hard to pivot. Integrating new tools or responding to competitive threats can take months, not weeks. That rigidity puts you on the back foot—and keeps you there.
Integration Nightmares & Data Silos
Trying to connect COBOL with modern APIs, cloud platforms, or analytics solutions? It often takes custom workarounds that add complexity and create silos—slowing digital transformation and burning budget.
Security Gaps & Compliance Strain
Older systems often lack modern security architecture, leaving you exposed. Adapting them to meet new compliance and regulatory standards becomes harder and more expensive, with every passing year.
Our GenAI-Powered Process: Modernization with Speed & Precision
We bring structure, transparency, and acceleration to every modernization project. Our process combines deep expertise in legacy systems with GenAI-driven insights at each step. This isn’t buzzword transformation: it’s engineered for results.
Step 1 – Discovery
We begin with a comprehensive, AI-augmented scan of your COBOL codebase. Using Generative AI, we analyze dependencies, extract embedded business logic, and surface what manual reviews often miss, giving us a clear, precise roadmap from day one.
Step 2 – Strategic AI-Driven Transformation & Refactoring
We use advanced GenAI models to convert COBOL to your target language (Java, Python, or C#). The output isn’t just functional, it’s clean, maintainable, and built to last. AI also helps generate documentation, giving you clarity and control.
Step 3 – Rigorous Validation & Testing
Through automated test case generation and equivalency frameworks, we ensure functional accuracy. We use parallel runs and data validation tools to verify performance before the switch, so there are no surprises.
Step 4 – Seamless Deployment & Continuous Optimization
We deploy in controlled phases to minimize risk and disruption. After cutover, our tools continue to optimize your environment for performance, scalability, and maintainability—backed by dedicated support.
COBOL Challenges vs Moreland Modernization
|
COBOL Legacy Systems |
Moreland Modernized Systems |
|---|---|
|
High Costs & Long Timelines: Manual processes, expensive COBOL talent, and slow execution. |
Faster Timelines & Lower Costs: GenAI reduces manual effort and accelerates every phase. |
|
Skills Gap & Vendor Lock-in: Limited talent pool and dependence on aging platforms |
Access to Modern Talent & Open Systems:
Move to Java, Python, or C#, and a wider hiring pool. |
|
Hidden Business Logic: Years of undocumented rules buried in code. |
AI-Driven Documentation:
We extract and document key business logic for full visibility |
| Disruption Risk: “Big bang” transitions often fail. |
Phased, Low-Risk, Approach: Guided by dependency mapping & iterative cutovers. |
| Inflexibility: Monolithic apps limit interoperability & agility. |
