Case Study: Capital Software achieves rapid web and mobile transformation and new revenue with OpenText AcuToWeb

AcuToWeb accelerates new revenue opportunity while extending application value, access and performance

Capital Software is a 50-year-old South African provider of payroll, payments and collection services that runs mission-critical COBOL-based systems. Faced with customer perceptions of being “legacy” and pressured to offer web and mobile access, the company began a lengthy .NET rewrite but needed a faster way to modernize without sacrificing the robustness, scalability and performance required for high-volume transaction processing.

Using Micro Focus’s latest extend technology, AcuToWeb, Capital Software transformed its UI into a standards-based HTML5/web and mobile front end with no code rewrite; after focused training and professional services the team delivered the new presentation layer in eight weeks. The rollout preserved system performance, enabled rapid feature delivery (live chat, branded front-ends), opened large corporate and retail POS markets, and drove immediate revenue growth—achieving ROI in four months and scaling from SME deployments to customers with up to 150,000 users.
