Customer Testimonies

"I just finished converting one of our client sites from CICS V2.3 to V3.2. These guys have a lot of OS COBOL code that they have steadfastly refused to upgrade. This left us no alternative but to get MacKinney's VS/Cobol Interpreter product to allow them to continue running.Well, the product was simple to install, and it works like gangbusters. I can't detect any increase in response time or overhead due to its presence; and the client wouldn't even know it was there if they weren't being charged for it. There hasn't been a single incident. This was a major relief! And there's even a nifty administrative transaction to go with it. So if anyone here is in the same situation, VCI works very well, and is probably the answer you're looking for."

"We had mandates to move forward with upgrades on new systems software that would obsolete our existing COBOL programs-they wouldn't run. VS/Cobol Interpreter allowed us to go forward with the systems upgrades and allow our application folks to schedule a rewrite or upgrade modification of these programs at some point in the future. Our deadline wasn't necessarily theirs, so they could do their part in the future long after we were through and moved on to the next project. We were able to meet deadlines that otherwise would not have been possible."
