Craig Rodgerson, Capita Life and Pensions Services An initial three-year framework has been agreed, 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.

“We are delighted to have secured the services of Micro Focus,” said Craig Rodgerson, IT director at Capita Life and Pensions Services. “The ability to modernise existing systems on contemporary platforms is key to providing an effective administration service for our clients in the future.”

“This is the start of a long and fruitful relationship for both companies,” added David Stephenson, UK country general manager at Micro Focus. “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.”
