COBOL development services

COBOL — when “legacy” doesn’t mean “outdated.”
Many decades have passed since its creation, but the COBOL language still powers business-critical applications for banks, financial institutions, insurance companies, stock exchanges, and other entities that handle millions of daily transactions.

If you think COBOL migration isn’t worth the effort because of possible performance glitches and hardware limitations, our COBOL developers will help you out. With our team’s varied and extensive experience, we can take up any project at any stage of the development process.

Our clients say

“We are developing the unique PLUS software for the control of production processes in manufacturing. In 2007, while porting the PLUS client from SmallTalk to C#, we transferred part of the work to SaM Solutions, and kept the existing COBOL backend in-house. We were pleased with the reliability and high quality of their work, and SaM Solutions quickly became an important technology partner for us, in supporting and developing the application in both the frontend and the COBOL backend. In addition to software development, SaM Solutions’ services include system monitoring, helpdesk, and second- and third-level support. Our long-standing, successful cooperation is based on a common high expectation of quality, a high level of daily communication, the same vision of success, and a common team spirit. We can confidently say that SaM Solutions is our proven and reliable partner and part of our team, with whom we will happily continue working, and hopefully open new horizons.”
