Microsoft End-of-Life

Act now rather than react later

Extended support for several Microsoft products will come to an end in the coming months and years. From that point onwards, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates, bug fixes or technical support. Organisations that continue to rely on these systems are exposing themselves to avoidable risks – ranging from security vulnerabilities and compliance issues to operational constraints.

These Microsoft products will soon reach the end of their support period

Why you should act now

The end of support does not mean that the systems will immediately stop working. However, they will no longer receive security updates and will often no longer meet current compliance or security requirements. At the same time, the cost of operation and maintenance rises, whilst the risk of system failures and cyber-attacks increases.

Planning well in advance provides certainty and avoids unnecessary time pressure. Companies gain sufficient time to analyse their existing IT landscape, evaluate suitable migration paths and implement the necessary upgrades in a controlled manner.
