Lift and Shift™
Lift and Shift™ offers organizations
the ability to postpone mainframe upgrades
or reduce hardware and software costs by
up to 80 percent through migrating appropriate
legacy application workload to more cost-effective,
modern, open and extensible platforms.
By re-using as much as of the existing systems
as possible, Lift and Shift™ migration
projects are significantly lower risk and
more cost effective than any re-write or
many packaged application implementation
projects.
Once migrated, the resulting cost savings
in operational costs can then be used to
fund further evolution of the application
using Micro Focus' complementary Leverage
and Extend solution.
