Why choose Binerals for COBOL development

Global business language

Fintech, healthcare, retail, and automotive industries still use COBOL to address software challenges. Business giants such as IBM, Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase still put stakes on the language.

Easy readability

Since the philosophy behind emerging COBOL was immense understandability, developers today can easily comprehend the basic language's syntax that does not employ pointers, functions and user-defined data types.

Seamless integration

COBOL is easily compatible with modern architectures and complex technologies such as Java, C#, and Docker container, runs on .NET and JVM and smoothly interoperates with Azure and AWS cloud environments.

Expertise gap filling

Although many of the world's transaction processing systems still use COBOL, finding competent, reliable software engineers may be challenging. With a vast pool of dedicated software evangelists, Binerals fills the knowledge gap.

Portable language

The platform-agnostic aspect allows for building COBOL apps that run on Windows and Mac. We develop solutions that stay accessible across various operating systems.

Long-term partnerships

If a customer lacks industry-specific IT expertise, our specialists can either augment their existing team or start a new project from scratch. More than 90% of clients come back with new projects.
