Micro Focus® (LSE.MCRO.L), the leading provider of enterprise application management, development and modernization solutions, today announced the availability of Liant 12, the newest version of this application development product suite. The release, which includes upgrades to Micro Focus development products including RM/COBOL, Xcentrisity and the RM/COBOL data tool Relativity, demonstrates Micro Focus’ commitment to existing Liant customers.

Liant 12 includes numerous refinements that improve existing functionality and performance, including larger capacity and increased efficiency for RM/COBOL identifiers and improved compatibility with Windows. As a result, customers are able to more easily preserve the value of existing application logic while taking advantage of newer technologies and platforms.

Micro Focus’ Liant RM/COBOL product line is a comprehensive portfolio of integrated tools that enables organizations to maintain a single set of source code while deploying applications on popular open platforms such as Unix and Windows NT. Customers are able to retain the reliability of COBOL while integrating existing applications with modern, cutting edge technologies.

Micro Focus’ RM/COBOL data tool Relativity products allow core data from sophisticated Micro Focus or RM/COBOL applications to be re-tooled as a full-featured relational database. Using these products, customers are able to quickly and efficiently integrate core data into distributed client/server applications.

Micro Focus Xcentrisity allows customers to Web-enable existing COBOL-based applications, providing solutions that enable these COBOL applications to interoperate freely and easily with other applications that use the XML standard.

Together, the improvements to these products provide an easier path for Micro Focus customers to integrate, modernize and transform COBOL applications.
