Micro Focus International was a British software and information technology company based in Newbury, Berkshire, that provided software and consultancy. It was founded in 1976 by Brian Reynolds in Notting Hill, and in 1981 became the first company to win the Queen's Award for Industry purely for a software product, CIS COBOL for microcomputers. Over the years it grew by acquisition, buying firms such as Acucorp, Liant, NetManage, Borland and the Attachmate Group, and in 2017 it merged with the software business of Hewlett Packard Enterprise. It was listed on the London Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange until OpenText completed its acquisition on 31 January 2023.
