Using the Web as a distributed computing platform helps extend the reach and value of corporate computing assets by improving access to information and services for customers and partners regardless of where they are.Through this path, companies can more flexibly deliver compelling service, but the real value comes when web initiatives complement an existing technology infrastructure and lower the cost of maintaining those legacy environments. For the future success of web development and delivery of services, enterprises must focus on simplified integration with existing IT assets to improve overall interoperability while keeping total cost of ownership low.This focus on leveraging the current technical assets and developer resources drives savings and extends the value locked up in core legacy transaction systems.

One of the barriers that companies face in moving their legacy assets into their web-based development initiatives is the expense associated with migrating applications.The first step,then,is to evaluate options so that they can make a sound business decision.This white paper outlines the options available on the market and discusses a new solution — Fujitsu Software’s NetCOBOL for .NET — and its approach to moving COBOL assets over to Microsoft’s .NET platform.
