About Session

Abstract: COBOL’s quiet efficiency and fitness for purpose has kept it running great chunks of the economy, without fuss, for 65 years. But is its humble brilliance the cause of a near existential crisis? In its 65th anniversary year, and using fresh input from those who use every day, we ask – is it time to shout about COBOL all over again?
