SNS Bank modernized its core banking application that runs on a Unisys mainframe in order to improve developer productivity, reduce business risk, and create a future-proof IT infrastructure. The bank automatically converted 95% of its existing 2.8 million lines of COBOL code to a new distributed environment using Micro Focus Visual COBOL and rewrote the remaining code in C++ and COBOL. Working with IBM Global Services, the project team successfully transferred the application to the new platform, achieving excellent performance while adhering to service level agreements.
