Sure you know Micro Focus. Until last September, they were HPE Software. Then, the Micro Focus merger happened, which means that now, they are the world’s seventh largest pure-play software company. Big changes, right?

For HPE and Micro Focus, yes. For you, not so much, because both companies have now formed a strong strategic alliance. So you can still count on both companies to work closely together bring you world-class offerings that will help you at all stages of your journey to the cloud … just as we did when we were one company.
