Dear all,
Please pardon the question out-of-the-blue... but if anyone does reply, you'd be doing me and the hospital I'm working for a big favor.
We are currently evaluating Lawson's Human Resource Management System, and have actually done a lot of work in the last few months to do a thorough analysis.
One question that we simply have not been able to resolve is the following though: Is the latest version of Lawson HRM (version 9 as we understand it)
Java-based
or
Cobol-based
? Or perhaps it is a
mix
(a Java web services layer talking to a Cobol backend)? And even if it is Java-based, in order to customize it or extend it with scripting for example,
is knowledge of Cobol (or Java for that matter) required
?
I would not be surprised if the answer is "It doesn't matter: customization doesn't require coding"... but I wouldn't be surprised either with the opposite answer. We've learned to be totally open for the potential answer.
Any light you can shed on this would be greatly, greatly appreciated!

Split
"All of the above" :)
At the root, mostly COBOL for business logic, running on top of Java/C runtimes
Some customization achieved via configuration. Deep changes discouraged but will require COBOL.
LIght integrations via service bus architecture layered over business logic.
Newest modules written in "Landmark", a proprietary DSL that resolves to java.
