Accelerate mainframe application modernization at lower cost
IBM watsonx™ Code Assistant for Z is a generative AI-assisted product built to accelerate mainframe application modernization at lower cost and with less risk than today’s alternatives.
Follow developers who work together to modernize a large COBOL application that is integral to their business. They generate and insert a detailed explanation as a comment into existing COBOL, refactor a COBOL service that is dispersed across the application, transform the COBOL service to Java with the help of generative AI, then validate the newly generated Java.
