AI COBOL to Java Conversion vs Real Enterprise Modernization
AI tools converting COBOL to Java have sparked discussion, but code translation alone does not equal enterprise modernization. Legacy systems include complex business logic, CICS transactions, DB2 data, integrations, and regulatory processes built over decades. True modernization involves architecture redesign, dependency analysis, risk management, and cloud readiness. AI can accelerate discovery, refactoring, and testing, but real transformation requires deep engineering expertise beyond syntax conversion.
