Lack of new talent is indeed the biggest problem they are facing, but they've acknowledged that they've gotta upgrade these old systems before it's too late - instead of hoping for new talent to show up. Nordea in question has bought a new system that they want to gradually migrate to, but all their mainframe programmers,
- including my mother - are all saying it's not going to work. The system is too large.
- kpil 10y agoI've worked on a project that migrated an old cobol system and it went fine although everyone said it would not. But it's not easy and not cheap. The problem for the banks is that they have so many systems, typically thousands, and they are all interconnected. Enter the 'enterprise architects' that draw power points with boxes and buses on top of all the old shit and you have a receipt for a very expensive soup.
