Micro Focus Looks to Establish a Strong Foothold in India

Micro Focus (LSE: MCRO; NYSE: MFGP) will play host to its fifth annual flagship event, Software Innovation Dialogue (SID) 2019 at the Grand Hyatt Kochi Bolgatty in Kochi. The event’s theme is “Bridging Now and Next” and is Micro Focus’ flagship customer residential conference in India.

This exclusive conference will host over 100 senior representatives and IT leaders from country’s largest enterprises, major consultancies and various governments departments.

Micro Focus, the seventh largest pure-play enterprise software company in the world, is the partner of choice to 40,000+ enterprise customers worldwide, helping them bridge now and next. In India, Micro Focus is a key player across industries especially in the BFSI and Government segments and is rapidly increasing its ecosystem. True to the theme, the event in Kochi provided a platform for Micro Focus customers, industry dignitaries and partners to share their thoughts on the impact of digital transformation, bridging the gap in the journey and accelerating enterprise innovations. The event enabled its diverse audience to a deep dive on the nuances of confluence of speed & quality in the digital future for a better customer experience.

Each year, Micro Focus nominates an Innovation Ambassador to showcase their inventions and discuss how they are reshaping the dynamics of technology by unleashing new possibilities of a digital future. This year Micro Focus invited Harshwardhan Zala India’s youngest drone builder to take the stage and share his journey.

Micro Focus Lego City

On display intended to engage and attract the attention of customers and partners, the Micro Focus team created an interactive and educational display which will take the audience back to their childhood through the Micro Focus Lego City. It will show the functions, challenges and approaches customers often use when transforming to a Digital Enterprise, all through plastic bricks. The Lego City represents the stages of planning, building, delivery and running the IT management capabilities. This architecture is based on IT4IT™ (standard reference architecture and value chain-based operating model for managing the business of IT) and Micro Focus has abstracted this into 11 Functions and 10 Master Use cases.
