Aim high: SHARE 2018 and the mainframe IDE shootout

Micro Focus are proud to be Platinum Sponsors of the SHARE 2018 bi-annual conference in St. Louis August 12-17, and our team will be there in force. SHARE has crossed the States many times over the years and this year will be no different. But you may be wondering why St. Louis? That’s because you don’t know about St. Louis. So let me enlighten you. It is:

– Home to Anheuser-Busch, the nation’s largest beer-producing plant (Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment are necessary in all industries)
– Where the Gateway Arch, at 630 ft. the tallest monument in the US, was built (Architecture is also big in Digital Transformation)
– Known to consume more BBQ sauce per capita than any other American city (Talk about Continuous Consumption – whew!)

So St. Louis is cool. But what’s the link between Micro Focus and the SHARE community?

The SHARE Community

Building the Gateway Arch required teamwork, coordination and community support, just as volunteers handcraft SHARE conferences to help professionals enhance and improve their knowledge, skills and organizational efficiencies. SHARE could be your best IT investment this year.

Micro Focus @ SHARE

Thriving in a competitive digital landscape means transforming core, often COBOL-based business applications. Check out the Micro Focus technical sessions at SHARE. They demonstrate that transformation, and how it maps against the three pillars of modernization:

– Application – modernize enterprise applications from code to experience.
– Process – accelerate delivery using DevOps practices.
– Infrastructure – embrace a flexible, compliant and secure deployment model across a Hybrid IT infrastructure.

Using your current IT investments to support future innovation makes business sense. If rapid and low-risk incremental enterprise application modernization is the destination, the Micro Focus solution creates the journey – and SHARE is where it begins.
