COBOL is in a perpetual shortage of staff: solution

Choose a better alternative

The challenge to outsource COBOL developers refers to modernization and maintenance projects, rather than building new programs. Enterprises are realizing they don’t have the fellow applicants with the appropriate expertise to maintain COBOL applications.

To keep pace with the latest requirements, you need to leverage modern technologies and convert COBOL applications to C#, Java or Python.

Advantages of conversion to a modern technology

Savings Icon

Easier to hire developers

The clearest illustration of COBOL’s irrelevance is the lack of COBOL programmers' CVs since most universities don't teach this programming language. COBOL ranks fairly low in the Tiobe Index, because most programmers prefer modern and powerful languages for work.

It’s hard to find a COBOL application maintenance engineer, as most COBOL programmers have been in the industry for about 30 years and are nearing retirement. In case a company runs legacy systems for years, COBOL application modernization becomes a really intricate task over time.

Facilitated application maintenance

Even if you’re lucky to hire a COBOL developer, adding a new feature to a huge complex mass of code can resolve a current issue, but in no way affects the overall system efficiency and scalability.

Consequently, companies, based on outdated COBOL elements, plan application migration projects to move towards digital transformation.
