Frequently asked questions

Absolutely. Instead of a risky rewrite, solutions like Rocket^® Enterprise Suite and Rocket^® Visual COBOL^® let you modernize in place, pursue a hybrid cloud strategy, or replatform applications to distributed or cloud environments. You can replatform trusted COBOL and PL/I applications to the cloud, refactor complex Assembler code to COBOL, Java or C, integrate with modern DevOps toolchains using Rocket^® ChangeMan^® and Rocket Enterprise Orchestrator, and develop new features with modern IDEs and integrations, preserving your business logic while preparing systems for the future.

Rocket helps you modernize COBOL applications with minimal disruption and maximum flexibility. Rocket Visual COBOL and Rocket Enterprise Suite provide GenAI-powered development tools that make it easier for both new and experienced developers to understand, refactor, and extend your codebase.

AI is embedded directly into our tools to make modernization smarter and simpler. For example, Rocket^® Enterprise Suite and Rocket Visual COBOL utilize AI-driven analysis to visualize workloads and dependencies, explain code and prepare COBOL applications for modernization, supporting hybrid cloud readiness regardless of skills.

Not necessarily. We provide solutions engineered to simplify management across your entire hybrid environment. With Rocket^® Enterprise Orchestrator, you can automate and orchestration services and application workflows that span from the mainframe to the cloud. This creates a single point of control, ensuring jobs are delivered on time and reducing the manual effort needed to manage disparate systems.

Yes. Our solutions integrate with your live systems, not take them offline. For example, Rocket^® Enterprise Test Server provides a fully independent mainframe test environment on Windows^® servers, on premises or in the cloud, allowing you to test and validate application changes without impacting production workloads
