IBM Migration
Together with key partners, Micro Focus enables our customers to dramatically lower hardware and software costs by re-hosting IBM mainframe COBOL/CICS applications to modern, open and extensible platforms like Windows, UNIX and Linux.
Re-hosting results in applications that are lower cost, more open, easier to maintain, faster to adapt, fully extensible to the Internet, SQL, XML and Web services, and hence can be fully exploited through continued re-use.
IBM Migration and Micro Focus
IBM mainframes have historically been the natural choice to run mission critical business applications.
However, some organizations are reviewing the business applications running on their IBM mainframe systems with a view to re-hosting discrete workload to alternative platforms.
This strategy is being driven by the need to reduce costs, support new business requirements, consolidate IT systems or to enable more agility in supporting the business.
The availability of Micro Focus Server™ Enterprise Edition to support mainframe JCL, CICS , IMS and COBOL applications means that it is now possible to re-host workload in a low risk fashion.
