Description
netcobol.com is the site for all things related to Fujitsu Software’s NetCOBOL and associated products. It is maintained by the NetCOBOL group of Fujitsu Software Corporation.
Fujitsu has been developing COBOL compilers since the mid 1970’s, starting on Fujitsu mainframes, progressing onto UNIX machines and, by the 1990’s, onto Microsoft Windows. Fujitsu is dominant in the Japanese market and made it’s entry to the US and the rest of the world with its Fujitsu COBOL for Windows product in 1995. The products have made a strong impact in this market because of their high performance and exceptional levels of production quality. Worldwide there are over half a million mission-critical, production applications that rely on Fujitsu’s COBOL compiler technology and run-time support.
Globally Fujitsu has a strong alliance with Microsoft, the NetCOBOL products being one of the key elements in binding this alliance. Fujitsu Software recognized the value of Microsoft’s .NET Framework at an early stage so was able to demonstrate an early prototype of .NET support at Microsoft’s Professional Developers Conference 2000 when .NET was first announced, was the only COBOL vendor to release a compiler producing native .NET MSIL code when .NET was released, and continues to lead the COBOL world in .NET-supporting features and utilities. Today the NetCOBOL for .NET compiler is complemented by the NeoKicks, NeoBatch, and NeoSort products that provide migration options for mission critical CICS and batch applications to the Windows environment, as well as many other tools and utilities, and consulting services which help companies make big savings by migrating their applications off expensive mainframes.
