Acucorp and Lund Partner to Deliver World-Class HP e3000 COBOL Migration Solutions
San Diego, CA - February 13, 2003 - Acucorp, Inc., an international developer of legacy application extension technologies, and Lund Performance Solutions, a leading provider of system performance and capacity planning products, today announced a strategic partnership designed to provide HP e3000 consulting services to software developers who plan to migrate their applications using Acucorp’s extend suite of COBOL modernization and integration solutions. As a member of Acucorp’s Professional Services Program, Lund will have access to a full range of Acucorp technologies, technical support and training courses—enhancing Lund’s HP e3000 Platinum Program migration offering by incorporating the powerful options available through Acucorp’s robust ACUCOBOL™-GT development system.
Given today’s risk and cost-averse information technology environment, HP e3000 customers are highly receptive to the idea of maintaining and leveraging critical COBOL assets as they transition from the HP e3000 to other Hewlett-Packard platforms, including HP-UX, Linux and Windows.
“Lund is pleased to be supporting Acucorp’s extend offering for our HP e3000 migration customers,” explains Andrew Herbert, Lund’s Vice President and Director of Sales. “ACUCOBOL-GT’s strong affinity for HP COBOL II, wide-platform support (including PA-RISC and Itanium systems) and reputation for outstanding value and service make this an excellent choice for COBOL migration and modernization.”
Joe Seiley, Acucorp’s Director of Strategic Partnerships, is very pleased to partner with Lund in order to enhance the migration offerings available to the HP e3000 community. “Lund’s long-standing reputation for providing best-in-class performance products, professional services and training is an extremely compelling fit for Acucorp. In addition, the company’s Five Steps to Successful e3000 Transition model thoroughly addresses the comprehensive set of issues faced by our mutual HP e3000 customers. Lund’s Platinum Migration services, together with Acucorp’s technology, ensure low risk and high ROI before, during and after the transition.”
