Micro Focus provides several COBOL development and deployment tools to modernize applications, including Visual COBOL, extend, R/M COBOL, Net Express, and Server Express. Visual COBOL brings modern IDEs to COBOL and allows deploying applications to various platforms. Extend enables building, maintaining, and deploying COBOL applications across over 600 platforms. R/M COBOL separates applications' presentation and logic layers, allowing different interfaces to access the same application and data. Net Express and Server Express are development environments for COBOL applications to run on various hardware and operating systems.

2. What is Micro Focus?
• The Micro Focus COBOL portfolio delivers industry
leading COBOL development and deployment tools to
modernize business-critical distributed enterprise
applications. Take core applications to any platform and
embrace any new technology, 30% faster than before,
with the confidence and flexibility needed for your
business.

3. Visual Cobol
• Visual COBOL delivers the next generation of COBOL
development and deployment. It brings the productivity of
modern, industry-leading Integrated Development
Environments (IDEs) to COBOL, including the ability to
deploy key business-critical COBOL applications to
Windows, unix, Linux, .NET, JVM and the cloud.

4. Extend COBOL
• extend® is a full suite of software solutions enabling developers to
build, maintain, modernize and deploy their COBOL applications
across more than 600 platforms. The core components of extend are
the ACUCOBOL-GT development system and the COBOL Virtual
Machine.
• The COBOL applications developers build and deploy
using extend will deliver business agility and competitive advantage
by rapidly implementing core requirements into users’ business
applications. These solutions ‘extend’ COBOL development and
deployment tools – hence the name – so businesses use the latest
industry technology to incrementally improve core business
applications.
• extend has full interoperability with Java, C, COM, .NET and supports
the major distributed platforms, including Windows, UNIX and Linux. It
has full data access and support via relational database management
systems, business intelligence, and reporting tools. The GUI design
capabilities within extend deliver rich user interface enhancement for
COBOL applications.

5. R/M COBOL
• RM/COBOL provides a platform to integrate and
modernize COBOL applications. Core business
applications can be truly distributed across the enterprise
as RM/COBOL separates the presentation and logic
layers of existing applications. This means that different
interface technologies are able to access the same
application and data.
• The future for the Micro Focus portfolio of COBOL
products is driven by two objectives:
• To create the best development environment for business
applications.
• To make it easy for all COBOL developers to move to the
best development environment

6. Net express & Server Express
• Net Express (for Windows) and Server Express (for Linux
and UNIX) are highly productive development
environments for COBOL which enable developers to
produce high performance enterprise applications that run
on a wide range of hardware and operating systems
