I am delighted to announce that Drake Coker, the highly respected Chief Architect of Acucorp and one of its founders, will be heading the future development of our industry leading COBOL Application Development Solutions.

Drake is well known in the industry as the creator of AcuCorp’s ground breaking COBOL technology and the impact of his vision and leadership is already in evidence here at Micro Focus. His direction of Project Meld, coordinating the two companies’ development teams to merge their technologies, is ensuring that customers benefit from the best of both worlds without compromise.

"The prospect of combining the strengths of both companies to take application development to the next level is extremely exciting," said Drake on accepting the position.

Importantly, Drake’s appointment follows the timely release of extend8 in October and strengthens our commitment to support and evolve the technology for our Acucorp customers.
