Case Study: DIE SOFTWARE achieves 65% faster time-to-market and 95% reduction in data storage with OpenText

Visual COBOL supports digital banking strategy and delivers 65% faster time-to-market

DIE SOFTWARE Peter Fitzon GmbH is an independent software house and a leading core-banking provider in German-speaking Europe. Its flagship OBS platform, built in COBOL since the 1980s, faced new digital-banking demands—open banking integration, terabytes of securities data, and the need to cut storage and provide online, real-time access—limitations that pure legacy COBOL made hard to solve.

The company modernized by adopting Micro Focus Visual COBOL for Eclipse, adding SOAP/REST interfaces and seamless Java connectivity to enable mixed-language development and easier integration with external systems. The new real-time securities service reduced data storage by 95%, enabled 24/7 API access for clients, improved developer collaboration, and delivered an estimated 65% faster time-to-market.
