HP e3000 Migration

Together with key partners, Micro Focus enables our customers to dramatically lower hardware and software costs  by re-hosting HP e3000 COBOL/CICS applications to modern, open and extensible platforms like Windows, UNIX and Linux.

Re-hosting results in applications that are lower cost, more open, easier to maintain, faster to adapt, fully extensible to the Internet, SQL, XML and Web Services, and hence can be fully exploited through continued re-use.

HP and Micro Focus

Since Hewlett-Packard announced it would cease support of its HP e3000 product line in December 2006, organizations on these servers are facing a decision on how best to continue to enhance the support provided to their business users.

Micro Focus offers these organizations a migration opportunity that will improve operational efficiency through reduced cost and minimizing risk, while at the same time enabling agile innovation of new products and channels through an open architecture.

Moving applications currently executing on your e3000 to a Windows or UNIX platform reduces hardware and software costs and offers least risk because it is manageable and controllable - for example, one sub-system may be migrated at a time. Business disruption is also minimized and time-to-market objectives met.

With almost 30 years' COBOL development experience, a Micro Focus migration solution can extend the stability, strength and completeness that users have come to expect from the e3000. Key features, such as:

Are maintained, while the movement to an open architecture (provided by Micro Focus Enterprise Server™), delivers enhanced business agility.
