Micro Focus at a GlanceInnovation in action

Micro Focus is a global software company with thousands of customers in dozens in countries. We’ve been in business for more than 40 years. None of this makes us unique– apart from maybe the longevity. No. Two things set us apart from our competitors. The first is our core principle. The second is the innovation we bring to our enterprise customers.

We don’t buy in to the industry obsession that new is better, or that our customers must undertake risky and expensive IT change projects, or portfolio restructures, to achieve their innovation goals.

Micro Focus sees value in the decades-old IT infrastructures, business processes, IP, and data our customers already have. Our expertise, and our unique selling point, is in realizing new value - and extending the lifespan - of these investments through targeted innovation.

Our core principle, then, is to bridge the old with the new. To create enabling technologies that link the cutting edge, with the tried and tested. This is what distinguishes us from a crowded, confusing and largely generic marketplace.

We have captured this ethos in our Vision and Promise statements.

The PortfoliosSoftware delivery and testingCompeting in a global marketplace requires innovative software that meets customer expectations at any time, anywhere and, increasingly, on any device. Software delivery teams need greater agility to adapt more rapidly to the volume and velocity of evolving business requirements. Our Software Delivery and Testing solutions improve communication and collaboration between business, test, and development teams for continuous delivery of a superior user journey.

COBOL development and mainframe solutions Need to improve IT agility and efficiency at enterprise scale? Our COBOL solutions give well-established business applications new life and increased flexibility, while enabling customers to easily move core business workloads to new strategic platforms, including the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), .NET or even the Cloud. Re-use your core business logic and data alongside Agile and DevOps practices to streamline application delivery across any platform. Our modern mainframe solution delivers on this promise by enabling teams to respond faster to business change while modernizing IBM z Systems applications and services. Underpinned by the enterprise suite and Changeman ZMF, this powerful combination delivers a agile approach to mainframe application delivery and DevOps at enterprise scale.

Collaboration, file, and networkingOur CORBA portfolio includes the preferred enterprise solution of more than 600 enterprise customers, and 75% of the world’s financial institutions. Help your IT team improve file and print service management and administration, while enhancing user productivity. Enable direct access to home and shared network folders and personal files, from any device, anywhere. Need to connect Macs to an enterprise network? We can bridge that gap, too. Or ask us about our complete collaboration software solution – Email, calendar and task management, instant messaging, contact and document management functions – everything in one secure and reliable solution.

IT Operations management Service outages, poor application performance, system failures, user complaints and unproductive users are not the hallmark of a successful, modern IT organization. So our IT Operations Management (ITOM) products integrate service, application, and systems management to deliver sustainable and reliable IT. They enable organizations to automate workload migration and disaster recovery, to effortlessly consolidate and move datacenter

workloads with little downtime, while delivering robust workload recovery. Our ITOM customers can manage a constantly shifting list of devices, applications, licenses and software patches for a fluid workforce. If achieving effective provisioning, maintaining, tracking, protecting and device retirement is a key business challenge, then we may well have the solution.

Identity, access and securityOrganizations need to transition their identity management approach to use an identity-centric approach to provide enterprise-scale secure access to information, while protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of business-critical systems and data. The breadth of our Identity solutions, and our deep expertise in security, identity, access, and governance, enable our customers to innovate, keep their data secure, and more easily meet the demands of an effective and cost-aligned security governance and risk program.

Terminal emulation One of many modern IT challenges is enabling access to core business data quickly, reliability and securely from an increasingly diverse set of devices. Our solutions enable IT to better manage secure access to mainframe and host-based applications from modern technology – across desktop, web or mobile platforms. Micro Focus terminal emulation solutions modernize, and secure, the mainframe and host-access experience for business users and IT alike.

Linux and open source A pioneer in open source software, SUSE has developed a culture of adaptability. We believe in collaboration and choice, not vendor lock-in. More than two decades of engineering excellence and exceptional service enable us to meet customer needs and deliver the solutions that create new possibilities. Open source is in our genes. To us, it means more than shared source code. It’s a philosophy and approach that informs everything we do. It’s how we develop software, how we work with partners and customers, and how we engage with communities.

Most of all, it’s about keeping our minds open to new ideas.

InnovationEverything we do is based on this simple idea:

The fastest way to get results from new technology is to build on what you already have.

Let’s do thisThe world of technology already moves pretty fast, and the rate of change accelerates all the time. The pedal is on the floor. No-one can predict what is coming next. Today, you have it all under control. And then tomorrow arrives. Sound familiar?

The good news is that by applying a little innovation in the right place, you can use what you already have to achieve what you need to do. And we can help you with that.

The products within our portfolios share a common philosophy – to unify current IT with emerging technologies to realize the potential and unlock the value of past IT investments.

It’s a pretty comprehensive spread of tech that aligns with three pillars – build, operate, and secure. We consider that most challenges for the enterprise fit under one of these headings, so we have developed a product and solution portofolio that either enable our customers to build better business applications, manage them with the right balance of cost, risk and speed, or secure business- critical IT assets from internal and external threats. See for yourself.
