Micro Focus, a provider of enterprise application management services has signed a deal with Capita Life & Pensions Services to undertake a number of strategic modernisation projects. The partnership is designed to provide cost savings and increased efficiency to the UK life and pensions industry.

The agreement with Capita Life & Pensions Services is an initial three-year framework with a view to a wider ongoing commercial relationship. Micro Focus products will be used in strategic modernisation projects supporting the realisation of significant cost benefits by migrating some core administration systems off the mainframe to more contemporary Windows environments.

David Stephenson, UK Country General Manager for Micro Focus, commented, “In a time of economic uncertainty, our products and expertise will enable Capita to drive greater efficiencies by maximising the value of their existing IT.”
