November 2003

I am pleased to announce an important milestone: Acucorp's 15-year anniversary. Since 1988, we have been at the forefront of application development technology—taking COBOL in new, and unexpected, directions. Who would have imagined that legacy applications could display graphical user interfaces, access relational databases, or even interoperate with other languages including Java, .NET, XML, Visual Basic and C#? Not to mention the Internet, service-oriented architectures and mobile computing—innovations that were not even part of the technology landscape when Acucorp first began.

But, with the vision set forth by Drake Coker, our Co- Founder and Chief Scientist, we have managed to revolutionize the COBOL industry. Originally touted as "the most portable COBOL compiler in the universe," Acucorp's ACUCOBOL-GT® development system continues to provide unparalleled portability—allowing developers to easily move their source code from one environment to more than 600 others without recompilation! This COBOL Virtual Machine surpasses other computing languages that advertise portability. More importantly, it ensures a lifetime of platform flexibility and performance.

In addition to inventing vital legacy application extension tools, we have continued to enhance our customer support services over the last 15 years. As your business partner, we realize that the success of your organization is truly a team effort, and we feel privileged to be part of that team. Knowing how crucial timely and accurate technical advice are to your bottom line, we have committed ourselves to quickly and precisely respond to your support needs.

Some say that time changes things. But, in 15 years, it has not changed our commitment to develop the most innovative, and interoperable, technologies available. These technologies, coupled with our responsive technical support services, make Acucorp one of a kind.

As we begin another 15 years of business, we look forward to maintaining your trust and confidence. We also eagerly anticipate the technology challenges that lie ahead. And, if the past is any indication, we plan to not only meet, but exceed, your expectations. . .as well as our own.

Warm regards,

Dr. Pamela Coker
Co-Founder
