Mainframe & COBOL Services
COBOL Maintenance and Support for Mainframe Systems
COBOL maintenance and support from programmers who are extremely proficient with all current mainframe tools, so your system stays rock solid.
Why it matters
The systems your business can't stop
Many institutions run critical ATM, card and transaction systems with fewer and fewer people who know the code. Small changes pile up, each too small to staff and too risky to get wrong.
We give you senior engineers who learn your code and keep it running: fixing what breaks, working down the backlog, and handling the steady stream of changes your systems have to absorb.
What we do
COBOL maintenance and support we provide
- Ongoing maintenance of mainframe business applications
- Production issue diagnosis and fixes
- Backlog coverage by named engineers
- Stabilization of fragile workloads
- Changes delivered under capped change orders
- Support on-site or remote
In practice
Ways we support your systems
- A stabilization review that finds your fragile workloads and builds an immediate-fix list and a reliability roadmap
- A fractional senior bench: named engineers who learn your code and cover the backlog every month
- Capped change orders under one agreement
- The same engineers, year after year, so knowledge stays with your systems
How we work
Not a body shop. Not a slide consultancy.
Senior only
Experienced engineers with deep mainframe backgrounds. The engineers named in the scope do the work.
Fixed scope, fixed fee
Every engagement is scoped in writing and priced before week one, with milestone billing.
Change as little of the core as possible
We work in the I/O modules and copybooks, keep your business logic, and prove changes before cutover.

FAQ
COBOL maintenance and support: FAQ
What does your COBOL maintenance and support include?
Ongoing maintenance of mainframe business applications, production issue diagnosis and fixes, backlog coverage by named engineers, and stabilization of fragile workloads.
Can you support our mainframe without a full-time hire?
Yes. A fractional senior bench gives you named engineers who learn your code and cover the backlog every month, with no recruiter fee and no minimum.
Do the same engineers stay on our systems?
Yes. The engineers named in the scope are the engineers who do the work, so knowledge stays with your systems.
Do you support JCL, IMS and DB2?
Yes. We support z/OS, CICS, DB2, IMS, JCL, VSAM and iSeries / RPG.
