PL/1 - Development
and maintenance
Future-proof and powerful with proven technology

In a time of rapid technological innovation, companies are faced with the daunting task of not only keeping their legacy applications functional, but also adapting them to modern requirements. The key to this lies in preserving and maintaining the knowledge contained in these systems.
At FIDA, we preserve this knowledge and build on it: Our experts specialize in the maintenance, enhancement and modernization of legacy systems, particularly in the area of PL/1. This system forms the basis for numerous institutions in the financial and insurance sectors as well as other large companies and contains the essential knowledge of complex business processes. Our approach ensures that the applications are not only kept alive, but are further developed in line with current and future business objectives.
PL/1 - A language with a history and a future

Since its development by IBM in the 1960s, PL/1 has pursued the goal of dissolving the boundaries between business and scientific programming. Although PL/1 is not as widely used today as it was then, it has proven to be an extremely flexible and robust language.
At FIDA, we draw on a deep reservoir of expertise and years of experience working with PL/1 to maintain, extend and modernize systems. Our experts are dedicated to preserving and perpetuating this powerful technology to ensure that your critical applications continue to run efficiently and reliably.
Why PL/1 is still relevant today
Mainframe computers are the steel giants of IT infrastructure, essential for processing large amounts of data and running business-critical applications. At the heart of these systems, PL/1 plays a crucial role, especially when it comes to ETL processes. These highly specialized applications are essential for extracting, transforming and loading data from a variety of sources into central systems. FIDA uses PL/1 to automate and optimize such processes, ensuring not only data integrity but also operational efficiency for our clients.
