Challenge

To remain relevant, SYSPRO needed a modern development environment to support new developer talent and simplify customer installations.

SYSPRO relied on COBOL for decades but faced challenges in attracting the next generation of developers who perceived COBOL as outdated.

SYSPRO adopted Rocket Visual COBOL to integrate COBOL with agile methodologies. This improved development productivity and cutting onboarding time with its intuitive interface. Stress tests showed a 30% increase in performance, while the solution simplified deployment, reduced service issues, and enhanced customer satisfaction within their ERP software.

Results

With Rocket Visual COBOL, SYSPRO saw significant efficiency gains, improved developer productivity, and a seamless customer experience.

Rocket Visual COBOL delivered measurable performance benefits for SYSPRO, allowing them to provide their ERP solution with dual-interface options (classic Windows and web interfaces).
