And no, this story isn’t made up. Let me just quote one of the folks at this conference: “I truly believe that most of this world’s business logic is implemented in Excel”. [Ingo Rammer’s DotNetCentric]
According to my friends at Fujitsu Software Corporation, 70% of the worlds business logic is still in COBOL. Of course, with Visual Studio Tools for Office and Fujitsu’s NetCOBOL for .NET, you could conceivably migrate the COBOL code directly into Excel. And no, I’m not making this up either! 😉
