COBOLpro empowers government agencies to modernize and optimize their mission-critical COBOL-based legacy systems. We specialize in ensuring these systems, vital for tax processing, citizen services, information management, and other government functions, remain secure, efficient, and compliant—without the disruptions and costs of full-scale migration.

Legacy systems for Governments

 

Government agencies face unique challenges managing aging COBOL-based systems crucial for delivering essential services. These systems, often handling sensitive citizen data and complex processes like tax collection and benefits administration, require modernization but wholesale replacement is often impractical. COBOLpro offers a tailored approach, optimizing and enhancing existing systems to improve efficiency, enhance security, and ensure compliance—without the massive expense and disruption of a complete overhaul. We help government agencies modernize their IT infrastructure incrementally, minimizing risk and maximizing taxpayer value.

How we help

Keep the government systems stable and reliable with deep expertise and deep knowledge of government infrastructure

Security Vulnerabilities & Data Breaches

Government systems hold vast amounts of sensitive citizen data, making them prime targets for cyberattacks. Solution: COBOLpro enhances security through our Encapsulate & Integrate service, implementing advanced encryption, multi-factor authentication, and robust access controls. We also help agencies integrate with modern security information and event management (SIEM) systems for real-time threat detection and response.

Compliance with Regulations & Mandates

Government agencies must adhere to stringent regulations (e.g., NIST cybersecurity framework, GDPR-like privacy laws). Solution: COBOLpro assists with compliance by automating reporting processes, implementing data governance frameworks, and ensuring systems meet all regulatory requirements. Our Develop & Comply and Test & Check services ensure ongoing compliance and minimize audit risks.

Budget Constraints & Cost Pressures

Government agencies operate under tight budgets and must maximize taxpayer value. Solution: COBOLpro offers cost-effective modernization strategies, focusing on optimizing existing systems rather than costly replacements. Our Optimize & Refactor service reduces resource consumption and operational expenses, allowing agencies to achieve more with less.

Legacy System Silos & Data Integration

Government agencies often have disparate legacy systems that don't communicate effectively, hindering data sharing and efficient service delivery. Solution: COBOLpro's Encapsulate & Integrate service facilitates data exchange between legacy systems and modern platforms through API development and middleware implementation, breaking down data silos and enabling a more unified approach to service delivery.

Difficulty Maintaining Legacy Systems & Skill Gaps

Finding COBOL programmers is increasingly difficult. Solution: COBOLpro provides ongoing maintenance and support for legacy systems, reducing the burden on internal IT staff. We also offer knowledge transfer programs to help government IT teams develop in-house COBOL expertise.
