Micro Focus’ strategy combines organic development with selective acquisitions. Since 2006 the company had made seven acquisitions that have allowed it to extend into logically adjacent market segments in order to further develop its customer proposition and extend its product portfolio.
The acquisitions of Borland Software Corporation and the Testing and ASQ business of Compuware Corporation give Micro Focus a leading market position in the highly complementary Application Testing / ASQ market. This market is estimated to be worth c.US$2 billion a year and is logically adjacent to Micro Focus’ core application management and modernization business.
Micro Focus helps its customers significantly reduce application development and operating costs, increase the flexibility and value of information technology resources, and better manage the risks inherent in both mainframe and open-systems development and deployment. In addition, Micro Focus technology helps organizations realize productivity improvements that enable faster time to market and greater focus on product innovation.
