Micro Focus Revolve used in concert with EDS application delivery best practices, augments our ability to quickly understand the characteristics of legacy applications, identify areas that may represent migration risks, and allow us to plan accordingly. The Micro Focus tools used in our migration processes, provide a level of risk mitigation and process acceleration as we migrate legacy applications to lower cost platforms.

We are supporting 24 offices throughout Sweden who process auto claims. We need to have a disciplined process to mainframe application change, and making Revolve part of our development methodology will allow us to save time, accurately estimate the amount of effort required and help us roll out new functionality for our claims processing team.

We have used Revolve Enterprise Edition on a number of inventory-wide analysis and change projects. It is helping us estimate more accurately and we get projects completed significantly faster. We have reduced the time taken for certain inventory-wide analysis tasks by more than 80 percent.

Micro Focus' Revolve has provided the flexibility and functional richness for MigrationWare to significantly extend the reach of Revolve's functionality into both the IDMS and ADABAS arenas. With these extensions Revolve can analyze COBOL systems that use either CA-IDMS or Software AG's ADABAS databases and provide the full range of Revolve's impact analysis reports for systems utilizing these technologies. Because of the accurate management information the solution provides, we recommend to our clients that they should definitely use Revolve as part of any decision making process, whether they are considering updates, migration or extension to their existing systems

We chose Micro Focus Revolve because it is easy to use, yet a very powerful analysis tool for COBOL developers. As we continue to implement complex enhancements in our applications, tools like Revolve will help improve our estimation accuracy, software design, development time and software quality, while reducing overall IT costs spent on critical projects.

Our clients in the Scandinavian area tend to have very large amounts of source code in their core systems. With the amount of changes needed for those systems each year - from business initiatives through to compliance changes - there is always the need to accurately estimate and plan this work. We always recommend Micro Focus Revolve technology for this task, because it really saves our clients hundreds of hours each year, and gives them the most accurate assessment results each time. These days, we suggest clients don't plan major code changes without it.

In our migration from IDMS DB/DC to CICS/DB2 a complete application inventory was inevitable. This was the only way to ensure that our migration partner received a complete set of the application sources and database components. Micro Focus Revolve allowed us to implement a consistent and repeatable 'Application Collection Process'. Within that automated process we were able to extract information from the IDMS data dictionary and also enable further analysis tasks in Revolve, such as a programming standards review.

Analyst Quotes
Despite years of dire speculation to the contrary, the mainframe is still very much alive. Enterprises still have a tremendous amount of critical business logic and data on mainframes. Regarding rehosting, server consolidation, and other legacy extension initiatives, there is no one right answer to every scenario. However, integration across platforms is essential. Mainframe Express Enterprise Edition provides a robust solution for developing and maintaining mainframe applications with the proper support of newer standards
