Cobol Cowboys

Gainesville, TX, US • 5 - 9 Employees
Technology Consulting/Tech Services

Our name, Cobol Cowboys, was inspired by the movie "Space Cowboys" in which older experienced (some retired) astronauts were called back into service to solve a current day problem in outer space. After researching many published articles (both positive and negative) on the future life of COBOL, we came away with renewed confidence in its continued and productive life in the coming years.Since COBOL is still the programming foundation and under-structure used today in most USA and International companies, we founded Cobol Cowboys and are headquartered in North Texas. We provide seasoned professionals for legacy software and newer technologies to support most vertical business markets and their integrated information technology systems. Our renewed confidence in COBOL is supported by IBM's strategies to keep COBOL robust and evergreen as a viable programming language today and years to come. These strategies are evidenced by IBM's continued enhancements which allow COBOL and Java to run together on mainframes (and various cloud services) to take advantage of the latest industry-driven hardware and database products (such as Z/Series, DB2 and others).Furthermore, COBOL has been enhanced to develop "object oriented" code in addition to its time-proven legacy code still in use today. These and other software enhancements offered by IBM keep COBOL a "state-of-the-art" programming solution. COBOL is still preferred by many organizations to process large and smaller volumes of data in a timely and efficient manner. In summary, we offer experienced seasoned professionals in legacy software and newer technologies in most vertical business markets; including banking, government, insurance, health, manufacturing and transportation. To offer these services, we have a large stable of independent consultants to meet your company's software requirements. When we say "Not Our First Rodeo"​, it means we have been there, done it successfully and can do it for you.
