AI innovations accelerate access to business-critical data and enhance application explainability.
Rocket Software has expanded its Hybrid Cloud solutions to include cutting-edge GenAI functionality to streamline the modernization of the business applications and data.
The goal of the new capabilities is to improve organizational agility and decision-making by unlocking the value of these applications and data, bridging them into hybrid cloud strategies.
“A number of industries are facing increasing pressure to prioritize decision-making for operational performance and risk management,” said Michael Curry, President of Data Modernization, Rocket Software.
“The new and enhanced products in our Hybrid Cloud solution suite accelerate application understanding, streamline data integration and enhance productivity. With over 34 years of experience, we have a unique vantage point from which we can help organizations unlock value from core business applications, while future-proofing operations.”
Rocket Software continues to enhance its Hybrid Cloud solutions evidenced by the introduction of new and upgraded products, including:
- Rocket Content Smart Chat: Provides a secure conversational AI interface for sensitive document access and querying, streamlining unstructured data classification, while ensuring regulatory compliance by keeping critical data in protected governance environments. Rocket Software was recognized as a Major Player in the 2024 IDC MarketScape for Intelligent Content Services, in part for its SmartChat Feature, underscoring its innovation in delivering intelligent, scalable, and AI-driven content services.
- Rocket Enterprise Suite: Provides an AI natural language assistant to facilitate code analysis and accelerate mainframe application modernization and cloud transitions, enhancing developer productivity by simplifying complex code and migration to cloud-native environments. Enterprise Suite is a key capability in modernization solutions from major CSPs like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure.
- Rocket Visual COBOL: Employs an AI natural language assistant to simplify COBOL code understanding, modernize applications, and ensure seamless integration with hybrid cloud environments. This reduces the learning curve for developers, accelerating the modernization of distributed COBOL applications and integrating seamlessly with hybrid cloud infrastructures while preserving core business logic.
“Following the acquisition of AMC, Rocket Software is releasing new functionality in less than six months – an uncommon move in the industry where many mature software companies tend to slow down evolution after an acquisition,” said Peter Rutten, Research Vice-President, Performance Intensive Computing, IDC.
“This rapid progression highlights Rocket’s commitment to enhancing support for mainframe and distributed COBOL application modernization and re-platforming in alignment with hybrid cloud and migration strategies.”
These new additions will join the company’s existing Hybrid Cloud solutions including Rocket Data Intelligence, Rocket Data Replicate and Sync, Rocket Mobius, Rocket Cloud Connector and Rocket Data Virtualization, to round out the suite and further enhance end-to-end modernization and real-time data management.
