All software and hardware have an effective service lifecycle and Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 have been in operation for many years. Their planned end of support means that after Jan. 14, 2020 all previously free security updates, software fixes & patches, support options, and online technical content will end.

The security vulnerabilities alone should be reason enough to drive your business to decide to shift to a new solution. Cybercrime accounts for over billions of dollars of lost revenue and expenses for businesses each year, and a lack of security updates and patches can provide hackers with a door directly into your most valuable digital systems and information.

Sagacent Technologies highly recommends that organizations immediately review their options for upgrading desktops and laptops to Windows 10. For servers, both Windows Server 2019 for on-premise solutions and Microsoft Azure for migrating to cloud-based solutions, are great options.

Unfortunately, putting off these important upgrades until we are closer to the deadline may be very dangerous. There are millions of organizations who still need to upgrade, and we are already seeing constrained computer hardware stock.

If you would like to discuss your specific situation and options, please feel free to contact us today at: support@sagacent.com, call our President Ed Correia at (408) 478-2597 or fill out the form here and we will contact you.
