what would have been the total cost of this whole conversion effort COBOL to JAVA system?

even if it $100 millions, it seems a successful project , given DoD mentioned potential savings of $25 millions/year

>Customer Benefits

> For the DoD, the component has been transformed from an expensive mainframe COBOL legacy system to an affordable, modern maintainable Java-based system.
