Make your mark with important COBOL market research.
The Open Mainframe Project COBOL Working Group recently announced plans to embark on its most ambitious market survey to date. We seek your support and investment to bring this exciting project – and significant brand opportunity – to fruition.
About the Research
This new research is a collaboration between the COBOL Working Group, the Linux Foundation Research and the Linux Foundation Training and Certification. This project seeks to achieve a detailed understanding of the extent to which vendor investments in COBOL have continued, enabling COBOL to significantly increase its footprint in supporting modernization and other contemporary application requirements.
The research aims to uncover:
- Continuing usage statistics of the COBOL language in the IT industry
- The value of continued vendor investments in the language to support use cases in the digital era
- Attitudes to future use-cases for COBOL applications
The survey seeks to gain insights from across all relevant industries and geographic regions to provide a fully representative perspective for its findings.
