How a Student Modernized a Legacy Banking Application

Project and Program: Enterprise-wide, zNextGen Project

Tags: Proceedings, SHARE Virtual Experience 2021

Billions of lines of COBOL are still running the core IT of thousands of companies but those applications have largely been left out of modern advances in IT. In partnership with the Open Mainframe Project, we asked a student intern to demonstrate the options for modernizing an existing COBOL application to address the business needs and prove the future possibilities. They started with the core application of a theoretical mid-tier bank that was losing business to the competition due to their inability to deliver banking services with a contemporary user experience and they ended with a modern user experience and code poised for future innovation. If a university student can do it, you can too. Join us to hear how.
