Application complexity contributes significantly in several
ways to the costs at most IT centers.  There are several
aspects to this. One aspect is that it drives up labor costs
for application development and maintenance.  These
complexities add to the time it takes to complete projects.

With systems being comprised of millions of lines of code,
applications can be costly to maintain. It is estimated that
the cost for maintenance is about  $25.00 per line of code.

When programmers are lost due to attrition and
downsizing, the knowledge base of a programming staff
can be seriously impacted, especially when individual
programmers are responsible for particular pieces of
systems. Costly ramp-up time is then required for other
programmers to be able to support the code base.

Our mission is to provide software products that will help:
alleviate these costs  in the following ways:

  • Present to management a clear picture of the
      state of  health of their COBOL assets.

  • Contribute to the development of project       
    estimates.

  •  Provide objective information that can contribute   
    to staff performance evaluation.

  • Assist programming staff to comprehend logic
    progression more quickly.
,
  • Suggest coding efficiencies.

  • Identify certain logic errors.

  • Assist in achieving and maintaining the quality of  
    COBOL assets.
