Fast-track COBOL modernization webinar set for June 24
Data access is the key to easily integrate with other languages, systems
Organizations that rely on COBOL for mission-critical data management operations can learn how to easily enhance their systems without touching the COBOL source code in a free webinar, “Fast-track COBOL Modernization: Focus on Your Data.” The webinar, which begins at 3 p.m. EST on June 24, is the latest installment of the RTG Summit Webinar Series.
FairCom COBOL Evangelist Evaldo Oliveira will explain that by focusing on the data instead of the language enables fast-track modernization of legacy systems. With an improved file system, organizations can integrate data files with other languages and environments, like Python, Java or C/C++ while keeping the core COBOL system in place. The result is significant cost and time savings, as well as higher success rate.
The webinar will also include a live demonstration of how FairCom’s c-treeRTG COBOL Edition empowers COBOL applications to connect live business intelligence and analytics tools to the COBOL data, query its files concurrently via any SQL interface, and access it through a Python web application. In addition, Oliveira will touch on how you can also have data protection, such as encryption, user access control and transaction control.

What is c-treeRTG? … The RTG stands for “Ready-To-Go,” and it means exactly that because no source code changes need to be made to a legacy system. c-treeRTG enables an organization to:
- Modernize a COBOL legacy system with current technology.
- APIs connect to other systems, providing quick and easy access to live data for analytics and business intelligence.
- Migrate more easily from a legacy system to a new one.
Regardless of the use case, c-treeRTG keeps the existing application logic intact, while offering a better substitute for the current data storage technology. c-treeRTG opens the door for existing applications to integrate with the latest technologies, enhance performance, improve data integrity and provide access to other applications.
