Zengines Mainframe Data Lineage
De-risk the "black box" that is your Mainframes
Until the 1980s, companies started or built their technology solutions with mainframes using COBOL code.
Today, there are over 800 billion lines of COBOL code in daily use on production systems.
Companies modernizing, migrating from or actively managing their mainframe applications face a severe shortage of COBOL and zSeries experts.

How it works
Zengines Mainframe Data Lineage is a comprehensive data management tool for research and discovery used in mainframe modernizations, migrations, and management. Zengines ingests and parses mainframe source code to intelligently understand how and where every data element in a database or file originates, is manufactured or is used in and across COBOL modules. Zengines shines a light into the “black box” that is your mainframes.
