0 likes649 views
The document provides an overview and agenda for migrating from COBOL to Visual COBOL. It discusses Transvive's experience and tools for conversion projects. The migration process involves analyzing the application elements, grouping them, determining the target platform and UI, and the types of migration. It emphasizes doing a pilot phase to test the migration approach and get user input before full conversion.
