NXTera Bridge: COBOL to .NET modernization tool

eCube Systems announces the release a new NXTera 6.0 component called NXTera Bridge, which automates the process of modernizing COBOL to access the .NET framework..The NXTera Bridge, enables .NET applications and clients to seamlessly interoperate with legacy applications built in COBOL on any middle-tier platform, including Windows, Linux, Unix and OpenVMS. Using NXTera Bridge, existing COBOL code may fully participate in the Microsoft .NET cross-language development framework., all without forcing expensive rewrites or complex transformations. COBOL to .NET modernization makes sense to most companies with legacy COBOL apps because it leverages and reuses existing, stable processes, logic, labor and financial investment of an existing COBOL application. By using eCube's tools to expose those COBOL programs as .NET services, companies can use these elements and their functionality with a newer, more modern, true object oriented language and platform. Since there is no clear path from COBOL to .NET, eCube has seen a market for automated solutions to modernize/convert COBOL applications to the .NET framework and more modern supported middleware environments.
