Micro Focus® enterprise

Studio Enterprise Edition

Migrating Mainframe COBOL and PL/I Applications

Studio Enterprise Edition® is a highly productive graphical suite that enables organizations to migrate mainframe COBOL and PL/I applications to lower cost environments.

PL/I support for application migration is available in Studio/Server Enterprise Edition. Predecessor products have been withdrawn

Micro Focus Studio Enterprise Edition gives organizations the ability to dramatically cut the cost of maintaining enterprise applications. It also gives organizations a way to increase development agility and reduce the time needed to put new applications or features into the hands of the users. Competitiveness improves while risk is reduced by reusing existing applications and the business assets they contain.

Increase development agility with zero risk

Studio Enterprise Edition enables organizations to increase the agility of their application development. Migrating mainframe applications to Windows, Unix or Linux provides a far more productive development environment for key applications than is possible on the mainframe. Development productivity is significantly improved, speeding time to market for new features and products, delivering ROI much faster, and increasing competitiveness.

Dramatically reduce application operating costs

Organizations can, and have, cut application operating costs by up to 90% by migrating them off mainframe environments and onto Windows, Linux and Unix.

Invest in innovation without increasing budget

The significant cost savings from migrating mainframe applications to lower-cost environments releases money that can be used to fund business initiatives which will drive new revenue streams.

Full application development lifecycle support

Significantly increases productivity and the ability to unlock the value of existing business assets and intellectual property by extending current applications to a Service Oriented Architecture.

Comprehensive mainframe compatibility

Ensures lower risk migrations through the ‘Mainframe Appliance’ and provides the ability to migrate more of a mainframe estate, further increasing the impact of cost reduction and increased productivity.

Data migration and access options

Provides the lowest risk migration in the industry, and the ability to migrate more data without changing SQL Server.

Efficient modernization post migration

Easier integration with other systems, increasing extensibility and business value that the application provides.

Support for CWI & 2 Phase Commit

Migrates more complex application and lowers migration project risk as connections to applications that remain on the mainframe are maintained.
