Executive summary
Public-sector legacy systems often encode policy, benefit, tax, case, and record-retention logic that changes under legislative pressure while remaining subject to oversight and public-service expectations. Screens rarely expose the full dependency model.
COBOLpro turns source code, batch jobs, data stores, notices, and reporting feeds into a domain brief that program, procurement, audit, and technology leaders can use together.
Legacy systems in scope
The source estate to turn into an operating map.
Each row is structured for executive review: where the COBOL behavior sits, what it touches, and what the documentation must prove.
Program eligibility
Legacy estate
Benefits, social programs, licensing, permits, case, eligibility, payment, and correspondence systems
Documentation focus
Policy rules, determinations, appeals, renewals, payments, notices, and historical record behavior
Tax and revenue
Legacy estate
Filing, assessment, collections, refunds, offsets, enforcement, print, imaging, and archive systems
Documentation focus
Seasonal processing, taxpayer notices, payment reconciliation, and reporting transformations
Oversight and exchange
Legacy estate
Treasury, federal, state, local, audit, FOIA, justice, and cross-agency data exchanges
Documentation focus
Mandated reports, interagency feeds, retention obligations, and evidence for procurement decisions
Operational workflows
Business capabilities, not raw program lists.
COBOLpro groups source behavior around the operating workflows buyers need to preserve, explain, or replace.
01
Citizen and case operations
- Application intake, eligibility, determination, and appeals
- Renewals, recertification, case actions, and notices
- Payments, offsets, correspondence, and record updates
02
Tax and revenue operations
- Filing, assessment, collection, and refunds
- Enforcement, offsets, notices, and treasury exchange
- Filing seasons, batch cycles, and public reporting
03
Oversight and records
- Audit response and mandated reporting
- Records retention and historical eligibility review
- Cross-agency exchange and data-quality reconciliation
Risk and control priorities
Where legacy ambiguity becomes business exposure.
The assessment narrows risk to business impact and source-backed control evidence instead of treating documentation as a generic code inventory.
01
Policy change exposure
Business impact
Legislative changes can require fast updates in brittle systems with limited documentation.
Control focus
Identify source modules, tables, notices, jobs, and reports affected by each policy rule.
02
Historical record defensibility
Business impact
Appeals, audits, and public records requests require explainable behavior long after transactions occur.
Control focus
Preserve eligibility, payment, notice, and case status lineage for long-retention records.
03
Program continuity
Business impact
Documentation missteps can disrupt public services and create procurement or oversight risk.
Control focus
Build release and migration evidence around critical benefit, tax, payment, and reporting windows.
