"We’re not only faster in all of our regular processes; it’s also easier for us to handle anything unusual. If a customer places a last-minute order that has to go out, it goes out. The technology no longer delays us until the next day, or requires us to do it manually, or at extra expense. We can react throughout the day and run orders into our warehouse as we need to."Dave Schaeffer, Vice President, Distribution and Fulfillment, Simon & Schuster
-
"There is so much we can do now that our central system has been migrated from the mainframe to the Windows platform. We have only begun to explore the possibilities—and the impact on our people and our customers."Allan Hansson, Information Technology Program Manager, Stockholmshem
-
"We felt that our developers would get more done in less time, and there would be a greater likelihood of reuse down the road. The costs would have been prohibitive had we stayed with the legacy system."Stephen Jeffers, Chief Technology Officer, SSE, Scottish & Southern Energy plc

"The migration (or better re-engineering) process is aimed at transforming present AS/400 COBOL applications so that their functions can be executed on the .NET platform, allowing further evolution based on a consistent multilevel architecture. The application knowledge (business rules) will continue to be maintained inside INPS, leveraging present personnel skills."Alfredo D’Amato, INPS Software Infrastructure Manager, Italian Social Security (INPS)
-
"We decided that NeoKicks with NetCOBOL was also going to be the best solution to give us the agility we were seeking for the future, both in terms of application development options and a reasonable cost base."Marilyn Shenn, Senior Vice President, CIO for Presidential Life when the project was implemented., Presidential Life
-
"The beautiful part of the solution was the ability to take our current COBOL code, some of which is over 20 years old and remove the screen interfaces, and the data interfaces and port that without changing the business logic to Windows using NetCOBOL for .NET. By moving to this new platform, utilizing XML and Web Services we can interface with other platforms much much easier."John Hadden, Technology Manager, WADOL, State of Washington Department of Licensing
-
"Interpolis found greater flexibility and up to 30% better performance while reducing their TCO by 20% in the first year.",, Interpolis

"By porting the application with NetCOBOL for .NET we improved the performance and maintained the transactional integrity of the original application.Our costs are now a fraction of what they were before. One of the most gratifying aspects of going to a distributed environment using NetCOBOL for .NET was the minimal training required by both the programming staff and the end users."Debbie Brasher, IT Manager, Superior Court Stanislaus County System
-
"The biggest challenge ANS faces in the coming two to three years is its rapid growth. That growth requires that we adopt the latest technology so that we can support multiple users simultaneously. Our programmers evaluated a variety of COBOL development products and determined that Fujitsu offered the best products for us to get to the market quickly and efficiently."Fred Horowitz, DMD, Chairman & CEO, Affiliated Network Services
-
"We selected .NET and NetCOBOL, because we have a very large investment in applications that work very well, and could be enhanced with new features. Moving to .NET allows us to build on what we have and expand to areas that were previously out-of-range – opening up a whole new world."Vern Morton, Software Development Manager, West Covina Service Group
-
"I really appreciated the folks in support and, once I was over the initial learning experience, I really appreciated the point-and-click style of working."Terri Griffith, Project Lead for TOPS (Total Online Pricing System) in Lockheed Martin's Enterprise Information Systems company, Lockheed Martin EIS
