In May 2007, San Diego-based Acucorp, Inc., a developer of COBOL development tools and provider of technologies for COBOL applications, was acquired by Micro Focus for its ACUCOBOL-GT product lines. It was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2005. In 2001 the business was demerged from Merant with help from Golden Gate Capital Partners and once again became Micro Focus.
The same year the company acquired XDB Systems with their XDB Enterprise Server relational database management system. In 1998, the company acquired Intersolv Inc, an applications enablement business, for US$534 million and the combined business was renamed Merant.
The product was CIS COBOL, a standard-compliant COBOL implementation for microcomputers. In 1981, it became the first company to win the Queen's Award for Industry purely for developing a software product.
