SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Nov. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Micro
Focus (LSE: MCRO; NYSE: MFGP) today announced the introduction of
the industry's first Modernization Maturity Model, a best practice
approach refined through thousands of successful customer
engagements to assist customers and partners as they plan and
implement their own unique approach to digital transformation. The
Micro Focus model ensures that no vital details are overlooked by
customers during the initial assessment of their current situation,
and offers practical guidance in terms of the required destination
for each of their modernization initiatives.
"We are delighted to launch the Micro Focus Modernization
Maturity Model today, which provides a new framework to highlight
the most important considerations any organization should have when
embarking on a modernization journey," said Chris Livesey, Senior Vice President,
Application Modernization and Connectivity at Micro Focus. "A
critical success factor in any such project is the clarity and
unity of the stakeholder groups involved, and for the first time,
this new model from Micro Focus provides a standard set of terms
and classifications that consider viability, complexity and
effort."
Starting with an understanding of the requirements for change
from an operational, or business, perspective, the Modernization
Maturity Model follows a review of the technical drivers for
change. Looking at modernization through all related lenses enables
Micro Focus' customers and partners to consider and plot their own
modernization landscape and required journey for each
initiative.
Customers can realise highly valuable benefits through
leveraging the Micro Focus Modernization Maturity Model, for
example:
- Stronger and earlier alignment of stakeholders on a
modernization vision which considers all applications and
data.
- A more practical evaluation of architecture and deployment
options to optimise application performance and scalability.
- The ability to build more accurate return-on-investment
assessments for each stage of the modernization journey.
Underpinning the Maturity Model is the Micro Focus Modernization
solution, a holistic, enterprise scale suite of technology that
helps customers choose their own modernization path, all based on
the premise of protecting, rather than discarding strategic IT
investments. With the Modernization Maturity Model implemented as a
planning structure and the Micro Focus modernization solutions as
technical vehicles, customers can access a practical framework for
success in their company's modernization journey.
"Micro Focus' Modernization Maturity Model further illustrates
their capability and experience, underlining their position as true
experts in the field of application modernization," said
Steve Stuart, CTO of Astadia.
"Astadia is a leading provider in application modernization
services and our industry expertise and use of class-leading Micro
Focus technology is the cornerstone of our many successful client
projects."
"Microsoft offers a truly enterprise-class platform to support
our customers' modernization to the cloud," said Bob Ellsworth, Director Mainframe
Transformation, Microsoft. "As a long-standing Micro Focus partner,
we see their Modernization Maturity Model as valuable best-practice
in helping our customers modernize their core business systems to
Azure."
"As a committed Micro Focus partner, we enable our customers
across various vertical industries transform the core systems using
a blend of our implementation expertise and Micro Focus
technology," said Durga Prasad, AVP, Global Head of Modernization
Practice, Zensar Technologies. "The new Modernization Maturity
Model from Micro Focus outlines best practices and vital
considerations that will help our clients navigate and accelerate
