7 June 2005 Orlando, FL: DePaul University Study says Fujitsu Offers a Better Brew than JAVA For Web-Enabling Mission-Critical COBOL/CICS Legacy Applications
Orlando, FL, June 7, 2005 – A study just conducted by DePaul University researchers Dr. Howard A. Kanter and Dr. Thomas J. Muscarello of The Laboratory for Software Metrics concluded that when Fujitsu Software solutions combined with Visual Studio .NET 2003 are used, the time required to Web-enable mission-critical COBOL/CICS legacy applications is on average less than 3 percent of the time needed to rewrite the applications in JAVA. A common understanding has been that rewriting was one of the few choices available if applications were to take advantage of newer technologies like the Microsoft .NET Framework™. This study indicates there are other more viable routes. These applications still provide tremendous value but are on costly platforms with limited tools to extend them for today's business needs. Companies have made a huge investment in mainframe applications and this migration allows them to maximize that investment by extending it to newer platforms.
