Eagan, MN – December 3, 2025 – Wizmo, Inc., a COBOL-savvy modernization and managed hosting partner, announced MicroFocus (ACUCOBOL-GT) support and modernization, a service built to keep essential COBOL applications available while creating a clear path to future upgrades. The announcement centers on customer continuity: steady day-to-day operations, secure access for distributed teams, and measured improvements that fit real schedules and budgets.

By sequencing changes in practical steps, Wizmo enables organizations to modernize at their own pace—without sidelining policy processing, benefits, payments, routing, or other mission-critical work.

Advance COBOL Without Disruption

Many ACUCOBOL-GT estates carry decades of dependable logic, yet face rising expectations for usability, security, and integration. Skills can be hard to find, user interfaces may feel dated, and tightly coupled components make change risky. At the same time, standing still can raise costs and compliance exposure.

Wizmo’s new legacy platform service addresses this tension with a balanced approach: stabilize what exists, then introduce improvements that make the environment easier to operate, easier to protect, and easier to connect with the rest of the business.

What the Service Includes

With Wizmo, your company will:

• Run with confidence: Host ACUCOBOL-GT on secure managed private-cloud infrastructure or in customer data centers, with remote access options and tested restoration procedures.

• Connect to today’s tools: Add straightforward data connections (REST, ODBC/JDBC) so information can flow to dashboards, web portals, and partner systems.

• Modernize the experience: Introduce web-based screens that preserve familiar workflows while reducing training time.

• Move data carefully: Plan phased database migrations to modern SQL targets using pilots, parallel runs, and scheduled cutovers to protect integrity.

• Strengthen safeguards: Apply current protections—encryption, multi-factor sign-in, role-based access, logging, backups, and recovery testing—to align with regulatory needs.

• Operate steadily: Provide 24/7 monitoring, patching, capacity planning, and clear incident handling so teams stay focused on the business.

Built for Regulated, High-Volume Teams

The MicroFocus support and migration service is designed for small to mid-sized enterprises and departmental IT groups in insurance, government, banking, logistics, healthcare, and other industries relying on the platform. Typical uses include claims and policy administration, benefits and eligibility, payments, routing, and transaction reporting. Engagements feature predictable pricing, named points of contact, and plans aligned to reporting cycles, batch windows, and audit calendars—so leaders retain control of timelines while gaining tangible improvements in reliability and access.

From Plan to Steady State

Each project begins with a readiness review and environment map, followed by a schedule that sets expectations for discovery, pilots, and staged cutovers. SLAs define availability targets and response times, while maintenance windows and rollback criteria are communicated up front. After go-live, administrators receive runbooks and knowledge transfer, and leaders see progress through simple reports on job duration, error rates, and capacity trends.

The outcome is a calm, repeatable process that lowers risk and supports long-term plans.
