Cloud Compiling Announces COBOL V6 Migration Webinar Featuring Guest Speaker and Industry Expert Reg Harbeck
Summary
Cloud Compiling, the provider of seamless cloud computing solutions for IBM® z/OS®, today announced sponsorship for an IBM Systems magazine webinar titled “If it Ain’t Broke, Why Recompile COBOL?” The webinar will discuss COBOL V6 migration and concerns about spikes in mainframe CPU as charged through the Rolling 4-Hour Average (R4HA) and related pricing options. He has worked with operating systems, networks, computing security, middleware, applications and platforms ranging from Apple ][+ and MS-DOS PCs to IBM Z Mainframes. Harbeck will outline strategies to avoid unnecessary budget churn as Fortune 500 organizations ponder the shift to COBOL V6. “IBM z/OS continues to be the workhorse in the Fortune 500 and government data centers,” said Budd J Rutter II, founder and CEO of Cloud Compiling. It is a natural technological progression for moving some z/OS transactions to the cloud in order to optimize and save budget dollars, as we continue to do more work with fewer people in large enterprise IT environments.” The IBM mandate to switch to COBOL V6 will place a significant burden on IT resources and could lead to massive unplanned costs accompanying the migration due to spikes in CPU time.
