\n SANTA CLARA, Calif.<\/span>, Dec. 2, 2020<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Micro Focus<\/a>\u00a0(LSE: MCRO; NYSE: MFGP) today announced the findings of its ‘Endless Modernization’ research with Standish Group. The research reveals modernization projects using an incremental and continuous improvement model achieve superior results when compared to other project-based approaches including the ripping and replacing of core business applications. The research utilizes data gathered from The Standish Group’s CHAOS2020 Report<\/a> and indicates that this infinite flow method to modernizing core business applications has a number of benefits in regards to return of value, customer satisfaction, sustainable innovation and longer application lifespans. <\/p>\n

“As we see in our latest research with Standish Group, a continuous and multi-phased modernization methodology delivers incremental value and reduces risk when compared to the alternatives of rewriting or replacing,” said Neil Fowler<\/span>, General Manager of Application Modernization and Connectivity at Micro Focus. “With application modernization typically being an important first step in an enterprise’s larger digital transformation journey, an incremental flow-based model provides a methodology capable of matching the flexibility of today’s business climate while ensuring continuous transformative activity.” <\/p>\n

Conducted by The Standish Group<\/a>, a primary research advisory organization focusing on software development performance, the multi-decade research of over 50,000 participants shows that an infinite flow model ensures ongoing modernization activity, while narrowing the gap between project management and delivery teams. This research is consistent with Micro Focus’ own findings where 92 percent\u00a0of core applications are strategic and 70 percent\u00a0see modernization as their preferred option, according to a 2020 Micro Focus study<\/a>.<\/p>\n
