We also expect to take a close look at the communication of modeling features, as anything that shortens the cycle from concept to code, while enhancing the reliability of the process, will be good news in the world of enterprise applications." "Our message is that organizations can achieve the Agile IT infrastructure they desire by migrating their COBOL applications to Microsoft Visual Studio," commented Ron Langer, Director of Languages at Fujitsu Software Corporation. "The migration significantly reduces the cost of maintaining these applications while increasing developer productivity. Microsoft's lifecycle platform announcements make the message stronger -- if you want your developers producing the highest quality code, matching today's complex requirements, on time and within budget, you need to equip them with this set of tools."
