Nowadays, billions of lines of code are in the COBOL programming language. The book is an analysis, a diagnosis, a strategy, a MDD method and a tool to transform legacy COBOL into modernized applications that comply with Internet computing, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and the Cloud.

Information Technology (IT) makes progresses on an exponential scale while legacy information systems are no longer able to meet the rapidly evolving requirements of critical-information business, because of Internet especially.

Software is no more information processing to serve business. Software must be nothing else than a business booster, a differentiator in a globalized competition.

In this scope, how to then to evolve even replace COBOL applications (the biggest software portfolio of humanity!) to avoid well-known pitfalls: sizeable long-cycle maintenance, uncontrollable adaptation costs, impossible interoperability between new and old software, slow high-end technology adoption and take-up… Modern computing frameworks like .NET, Java EE and the Cloud are evident targets of a COBOL software modernization challenge. This book is blueprint for people in charge of finding solutions when facing this both huge and risky challenge.
