Here at Micro Focus HQ, we’ve got the Champagne on ice because UK technology website The Inquirer has shortlisted Visual COBOL for ‘Best Developer Tool’ in their Tech Hero Awards 2015.
It’s been a good year so far: our #COBOLrocks social media campaign is up for a Markie and our SUSE colleagues won Enterprise Storage Product of the Year at the Network Computing Awards.
Happy birthday!
This month, Visual COBOL is five years young and more than 100 customers are already modernizing their COBOL applications with the ‘Best Developer Tool’. So why do we think it is a worthy winner?
