Case Study: David Kopf Instruments simplifies COBOL code maintenance with Rocket Software COBOL Analyzer

David Kopf Instruments becomes productive in hours with Rocket Software COBOL Analyzer

David Kopf Instruments faced the challenge of transferring knowledge of a complex, 40-year-old undocumented COBOL system from a retiring lead developer to new talent. This risked operational continuity and made code changes perilous. To address this, they turned to Rocket Software and its Rocket COBOL Analyzer solution.

Rocket Software implemented COBOL Analyzer to visualize the system's structure and dependencies, enabling comprehensive impact analysis. The result was dramatically accelerated onboarding, with the new developer becoming productive in hours instead of months. This ensured a smooth knowledge transfer, saved substantial time and resources, and provided a clear foundation for future system maintenance and development.
