COBOL Maintenance & System Support


Your COBOL systems in experienced hands


Business-critical COBOL and mainframe applications must function reliably – today and in the future. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly difficult for many companies to retain experienced COBOL specialists permanently and to secure the necessary knowledge about legacy systems.

RetroCode takes over the maintenance, support, and continuous development of your existing COBOL systems – if desired, with individually defined Service Level Agreements (SLA).

This ensures that your applications remain stable, available, and operable in the long term.


Let’s talk

We take responsibility for your COBOL systems

From supporting your existing team to fully taking over application support: We will develop the appropriate support model together with you.

Maintenance & Support:

We take over the ongoing technical support of your COBOL applications – from error analysis to bug fixing to support with incidents and technical problems of existing processes, systems, and architectures.

Further Development:

Business requirements are changing. We adapt existing COBOL applications, further develop functions, and support changes and releases.

SLA-based support 

For business-critical systems, we offer individually agreed service levels with clearly defined services, response times, priorities, and contacts. 

System takeover & knowledge transfer 

We also take over existing applications from internal teams or previous service providers. A structured knowledge transfer, the analysis of the system landscape, and the securing of existing documentation form the basis for reliable support.

Knowledge retention

Legacy COBOL systems often contain decades of business-critical knowledge. Our experienced COBOL and mainframe specialists help document, preserve, and make this knowledge available in the long term.

From occasional support to full system management

Not every company needs the same operational model.

RetroCode supports you flexibly – from individual COBOL specialists to a dedicated support team to the long-term takeover of defined applications and systems.

Plannable. Reliable. Long-term.
