Own Your Past – Control Your Present – Shape Your Future
The Continuous Modernization Platform for COBOL systems
Legacy systems aren’t broken.
Our understanding is.
COBOL still runs the world. With 800 billion lines still in use, it quietly powers critical systems across banking, insurance, public services, and more. Its survival for over 65 years is no accident—but over time, system knowledge has faded, architectures have drifted, and years of changes have made it a black box. Today, COBOL takes the blame for problems it didn’t cause.
CobolCloud: a different path
Imagine a different path where your COBOL systems transform into a future-ready foundation without starting over or compromising what works.

AFD (French public agency)
AFD, a large public agency in France, undertook a decisive shift from a system based on Unikix + Micro Focus COBOL/Oracle to CobolCloud/PostgreSQL on RHEL 9, leveraging the Web Service Manager and Batch Stream Executor technology from partners European Business Solutions. The SI-led 18-month program went live in 2025, delivering a fully functional production platform that removed previous vendor costs and lock-ins. WSM adds a stable open-source layer and enables teams to develop in Java and COBOL side-by-side—accelerating delivery while preserving proven COBOL business logic. The result: superior system performance, enhanced observability, and a portable foundation ready for continuous evolution.
Global U.S. manufacturer (logistics & warehouse)
A legacy COBOL/C, IBM VisualAge, Db2 32-bit core application was reimagined on CobolCloud as a C++ 64-bit incarnation, protecting vital business logic while upgrading to a modern, supported environment. The proof of concept completed in just 3 weeks, with the full program delivered superior performance on Windows, integrated with the company’s SAP landscape, and deployed across six critical U.S. plants in only 18 months. Outcome: slashed technical debt and risk, a clean upgrade path, and a resilient warehouse/logistics backbone that sustains high business throughput with total confidence.
European workforce software provider
With CobolCloud support, this client moved a critical large-scale customer-facing facility from mainframe to Unix and then to Linux, across two European data centers. The project scope then expanded to more global perspective, with the U.S. leadership requesting (1) moving remaining mainframes into the EU data centers; (2) moving those data centers into AWS to decommission them (3) unifying global operations/observability to avoid functional drift. Result: The approach preserves proven processes and code while delivering superior performance, lower cost of provision, and cloud-level agility—without sacrificing control.
Major French government agency (strategic renewal)
The COBOL-based core system of this government agency is unique, vast, was deemed unfit for rewrite. This project sought to protect it and redeploy it on modern environments while upskilling internal teams to regain competency and control of the system. This way, modernization becomes a continuous practice: anticipating technology choices to rethink the information system over time, safely. To achieve this, CobolCloud’s Technical Hub 2.0 was adopted, structuring knowledge transfer, tooling, and governance. This preserved business logic, restored institutional expertise, and accelerated change—in short, evolving without disruption.
