AI-based COBOL→Java migration becomes a mainstream

Automatic conversion

UI Migration

Migration to GUI
  1. Improved operability for using mouse and buttons.
  2. Customize UI to the client’s standards.
  3. A little slower response speed than the current system due to web system.

GUI

Migration to CUI
  1. No need for training users because of unchanged UI/UX.
  2. Quicker response speed than GUI screen.
