SuperBOL: The COBOL revolution in the Cloud

SuperBOL: The COBOL revolution in the Cloud
COBOL, a programming language that is over 60 years old, continues to power a large proportion of the IT systems of the world's major companies, particularly in the financial and insurance sectors.

Yet these ageing infrastructures pose constant challenges in terms of maintenance, evolution and cost.

SuperBOL: the solution that propels COBOL into the cloud era

SuperBOL is a solution that enables large companies to migrate their COBOL applications to cloud infrastructures without having to completely rewrite their existing systems. Developed by OCamlPro, and usable on Clever Cloud’s public cloud, SuperBOL allows businesses to keep their COBOL systems while benefiting from the flexibility and scalability of the cloud. SuperBOL also offers a tool for transposing COBOL into C.

The challenges of COBOL in the modern era

After years of existence, COBOL today faces a number of challenges:

  • Lack of qualified COBOL developers;
  • High cost of mainframes and maintenance of legacy infrastructures;
  • Difficulty of integration with modern technologies;
  • Complexity of migration to new environments;
  • These obstacles prevent many companies from evolving and keep them in costly, inflexible systems.

How does SuperBOL meet these challenges?

With SuperBOL, you can modernise your COBOL applications by migrating them to flexible cloud infrastructures, without having to rewrite all the code. Here are the key benefits:
