#COBOL60 – Shaping the Future of Core Business Applications

Join the latest Tech Tip webinar to see how COBOL applications can participate in a full end-to-end development lifecycle using Serverless Cloud Computing and Continuous Delivery practices. We’ll look at how you can extract existing business logic to make available as an API and even write some COBOL unit tests before deploying into the cloud.

Are you aware of technical and licensing changes impacting your access to mainframe and host applications with Reflection for the Web?

Oracle has been making changes for licensing and technology support in Java. In this customer briefing webinar we will update you on the latest news and how we are investing for the future. You will learn how Reflection for the Web 13.0 enables you to continue accessing your mainframe applications using the same features your end users have come to depend on.

Automated testing of mainframe applications enables application teams to respond to user and line of business demands quickly and efficiently by streamlining the testing needed to support continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) practices for host-based applications. Organizations can comply with regulations and deliver tested applications on time, with minimal bugs, through automated, scalable and robust testing of mainframe applications.

Micro Focus Verastream Host Integrator allows organizations to encapsulate application business logic, in reusable services, for use with existing testing solutions and infrastructure.

Join us for this webinar to see the use cases for Verastream Host Integrator for automated testing of mainframe applications.

Join Micro Focus along with industry research experts, Vanson Bourne, for a closer look at the data, insights and commentary surrounding its 2020 COBOL market survey.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be one of the first to see the survey results revealed and pose your questions to our expert panel.

Attend this webinar to see how you can gain insights into how well internal policies are followed through inventory and analysis of your mainframe and host systems. These capabilities allow you to get an accurate view of software deployment and usage. You will also get a clear vision on user configurations across the organization. This information will help you plan infrastructure changes or monitor for non-standard end user configuration activity. Join us to learn more!

Modernize host application access: easier to use, easier to integrate, easier to manage, more secure.

The world has changed around your host systems. Today these enterprise workhorses, rich with business data, don’t fit into your sparkly new security infrastructure. But how can you bring them back into the security fold without jeopardizing business operations? Join us to learn more.

Digital transformation has created both opportunity and challenge for global IT. For many ACUCOBOL shops, these pressures requires a new strategy for modernization including cloud and UI transformation.

For many IT organizations there is huge value buried in core business systems. Using automated discovery and extraction technology, trusted IT functions can be simply reused as brand new digital services. Learn from Micro Focus how to overcome skills gaps to discover, understand, extract and deploy trusted mainframe business processes as modern digital services in our Tech Tips webinar.

Rapid delivery of core business systems needs to be enterprise-wide, and DevOps is now mainstream, even on the mainframe. Your mainframe DevOps tool chain needs to integrate and communicate all aspects of the delivery lifecycle. Using REST-based APIs, ChangeMan ZMF can drive your mainframe deliveries faster than ever, while retaining rock-solid reliability and visibility.

Join our AMC Tech Tips series to see how hooking up mainframe DevOps delivery tooling is easier, and more productive than ever, using Micro Focus ChangeMan ZMF 8.2.2.

When it comes to delivering access to mainframe applications, organizations are faced with new and ever-evolving challenges. These challenges include access control (authentication and authorization), data privacy, endpoint management, and regulatory compliance audits.

And, even though organizations address these challenges at the enterprise level, the mainframe is often forgotten. This happens because (1) mainframe systems are viewed as secure because they are running in a private network, isolated from the public environment, and (2) security organizations do not often know how to extend enterprise security controls to the mainframe.

This webinar will provide valuable insights into how organizations can deliver access to the mainframe while meeting security, privacy, regulatory, and other demands that modern technologies present.
