Descrption:
Move2open, a leading provider of data migration and application conversion solutions, today announced a partnership with Micro Focus, the leading provider of COBOL application development and deployment software for contemporary platforms and architectures.

The partnership combines the unparalleled accuracy and automation of the Move2open toolset with the productivity and portability of the Micro Focus products. This combination allows clients to convert their platform of choice, in the shortest possible timeframe.

“Micro Focus was a natural choice,” says Huw Price, Managing Director of Move2open. “We have been impressed with the productivity of its development tools and the portability and scalability of its runtime platform for many years. This has enabled us to go live successfully with migrations in major companies around the world.”

“Companies have traditionally balked at the prospect of manual conversion or code re-writes. Projects are potentially open-ended, and the quality of converted code is often seen as questionable”, says Andy Sinclair, Migration Technology Consortium Manager of Micro Focus. “Move2open offers an automated solution which lowers risks and cost dramatically. This leads to the fastest possible ROI for our clients.”

The need to maximize ROI from IT, and to increase systems flexibility to meet the demands of changing business processes, is leading to renewed interest in obtaining value from legacy systems. The partnership between Micro Focus and Move2open solves many of the major issues associated with legacy applications, including high running costs and the scarcity of the skill set required to service them.
