Enterprises that want to unlock and leverage their COBOL data
About Rocket Relativity
Rocket® Relativity® is a data access and modernization solution that brings relational database capabilities to existing COBOL applications without requiring changes to the original code or data structures. It enables organizations to access COBOL data in real time by presenting traditional COBOL files as relational data sources, allowing developers and business users to query and analyze information using standard SQL through ODBC or JDBC connectivity. This approach ensures that users work with the exact same live data as the COBOL application, rather than relying on replicated or outdated copies, preserving accuracy and consistency across systems. It supports integration with modern analytics and reporting tools such as Microsoft Excel, as well as business intelligence, data warehousing, and ETL processes, expanding the usability of legacy data across contemporary environments.

Kuscos
Whether you are wanting to know what was added to that legacy Cobol system back in the 90s, or looking for advanced techniques to better manage your ongoing C# development project, Kuscos is the software intelligence platform of choice. For development teams, managers and executives, Kuscos delivers key information regarding source code modules and team members, from design documentation to dependencies, duplicate code and quality rule violations. Kuscos also provides oversight of team activities, from repository commits to issues resolved. Better still, the same platform does this across more than 16 legacy and modern software languages. As we pointed out in our earlier post, and according to the Standish Group, over the past 5 years only 29% of software projects could be described as successful (meeting time, budget and functionality goals). Improvements over time have been minimal despite increases in code development efficiencies and design processes
