Unique to your business, they are among&nbsp;your most valuable assets. Today, your success&nbsp;demands&nbsp;these applications&nbsp;to process ever-increasing workloads. As batch processing consumes more&nbsp;General Processor resources, you may have less room for new and growing&nbsp;workloads.

You can continue to use traditional COBOL development tools or&nbsp;modernize the&nbsp;developer&nbsp;experience with other Eclipse-based&nbsp;environments. Adopt DevOps practices with a distributed&nbsp;version control system like Git. JOPAZ supports all these options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-maintain-business-continuity-on-ibm-z-nbsp\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">Maintain business continuity on IBM Z&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep the IBM Z performance, security, and reliability your business depends on while dramatically reducing COBOL batch&nbsp;workloads running on the general processor by over 80%.
