Why try IBM BOB?

1

Better understand existing applications

In many organizations, the challenge is not just to develop faster, but to better understand existing applications. IBM BOB makes it possible to explore complex codebases more quickly, analyze application components without modifying them, and better understand technical considerations before undertaking changes.

2

Support knowledge transfer and continuity

When experienced employees leave the organization or approach retirement, it is critical to understand applications so you can ensure business continuity. IBM BOB can improve documentation for certain environments to make knowledge more accessible and reduce reliance on a few key experts.

3

More effective documentation and analysis

IBM BOB can help accelerate technical and functional documentation, existing code analysis, and critical application exploration. The goal is to allow teams to save time on these often time-consuming activities, while improving visibility into existing environments.

4
