In 2022, the event will be staged as an invitation-only gathering, and will be focused on solutions to solve key problems.

Under the theme ‘Solve your digital dilemma’, Micro Focus Realize 2022 will take place at Langhams Lifestyle Estate in Johannesburg on 15 September.

Allyson Towle, field marketing manager Micro Focus South Africa, says Realize is designed as a ‘solve for’ conference, where a select group of customers will discover how to balance today’s needs with tomorrow’s opportunities; and both run the business while also transforming.

Attendees will also be able to book a demo in one of three demo environments, to see the latest solutions in action.
