How COBOLpro Works

A systematic approach to preserve your legacy COBOL knowledge while ensuring business continuity. Our three-pillar platform transforms complex code into decision-grade insights.

Unified Platform Approach

COBOLpro combines three integrated pillars to create a comprehensive solution for legacy knowledge retention:

Three Integrated Pillars

Our unified platform combines documentation, knowledge capture, and AI-powered development tools.

Systematic Approach

Methodical process ensures no critical knowledge is lost during analysis and documentation.

Enterprise Security

End-to-end encryption and compliance with industry standards protect your sensitive code assets.

Deterministic Results

Consistent, reliable output with our proprietary parsers and fine-tuned AI models.

The COBOL Knowledge Crisis

Every day, critical COBOL expertise walks out the door as experienced developers retire. Simultaneously, the cost of maintaining legacy systems continues to rise. COBOLpro addresses this crisis with a systematic approach that preserves knowledge and ensures business continuity.

65%of COBOL experts retire by 2029
300%longer debugging without docs
40%annual cost increase

Our Systematic Process

A proven methodology that ensures comprehensive knowledge retention and actionable insights

Code Analysis

Our proprietary COBOL parsers scan your legacy codebase to extract structure, logic, and dependencies.

  • Program flow analysis
  • Data structure identification
  • Dependency mapping
  • Business rule extraction

Technology That Works

Our approach combines proprietary technology with expert knowledge to deliver deterministic results

Proprietary COBOL Parsers

Our custom-built parsers are specifically designed for COBOL syntax, dialects, and edge cases that generic tools miss. This ensures comprehensive analysis and accurate documentation.

COBOL-Specific Analysis

95% accuracy vs 60% for generic tools

Dialect Coverage

Supports 20+ COBOL dialects

Performance

10x faster than manual analysis

Fine-tuned AI Models

Our AI models are specifically trained on COBOL codebases and best practices, not generic programming patterns. This ensures domain-specific understanding and accurate interpretation of business logic.

Deterministic Documentation

Consistent, reliable documentation generation that produces the same high-quality results every time. No unpredictable hallucinations or missing information.

Expert Review Process

All automated analysis is reviewed by senior COBOL experts to ensure accuracy and completeness. This hybrid approach combines speed with precision.
