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.
