Micro Focus simplifies COBOL

With an estimated 220 billion lines of COBOL code in active use in business and finance applications today, COBOL systems are powering more than 70 per cent of the world's businesses. Rewriting these COBOL applications to incorporate new technologies and platforms can be a costly and risky proposition for companies. To help defray costs and minimize risk, Micro Focus has launched Visual COBOL R3, which gives developers the freedom to extend COBOL to the latest platforms using a variety of application development environments, without having to rewrite code.

"India is a key market for software development and we are excited to launch this latest generation COBOL developer tool. Visual COBOL is set to be the most advanced version of the COBOL development platform in existence, combining the heritage of a language that has defined business computing for over 50 years with the latest advancements in computing, such as object-oriented architecture and the ability to integrate with the latest languages, applications and operating systems. Micro Focus has made it possible to use COBOL in whichever development environment makes the most sense to your organization," said Akshay Aggarwal, Micro Focus Country General Manager - India

Micro Focus Visual COBOL R3 brings COBOL to a broad range of industry-leading deployment platforms. In addition to Windows, UNIX, Linux and .NET, COBOL applications can now be deployed to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and the Microsoft Windows Azure cloud platform for the first time. With Visual COBOL R3, developers can choose to work with either the Visual Studio 2010 or the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE). They can also deploy core COBOL applications to multiple platforms from a single source - without the need for any platform-specific work.
