What PE Firms Miss When Technical Diligence Gets One Paragraph
Private equity firms reprice financial risk all the time, but technical risk often gets reduced to a short paragraph in the investment committee memo. That can be expensive.
A software platform may look stable during the deal process while hiding immature AI features, untested scalability, key-person dependency, roadmap pressure, and architectural limits that only become visible after close.
How to Modernize a COBOL Payment Processing Platform Without Breaking the Business
COBOL modernization is not simply about rewriting old code. For payment processors, the real challenge is understanding business rules, batch flows, data lineage, job dependencies, and operational risk before changing the platform that runs the business.
A company may want APIs, cloud analytics, lower operating costs, and less dependence on scarce mainframe expertise, but none of that can be achieved safely without first understanding how the existing platform actually works. In a payment environment, the COBOL programs are only one part of the system.
