What Does End of Support Mean?
Without continued security and software updates, you will be at greater risk for viruses and malware. In addition, Microsoft customer service will no longer provide technical support. Now is the time to make the shift to Windows 10, as Microsoft will no longer provide security and software updates, as well as technical support for Windows 7 or other products after support has ended.
The end of support not only leaves you more vulnerable to security risks and viruses, but will also impact your business in other ways:
Loss of productivity
On-prem solutions can limit your employees’ ability to collaborate from anywhere using secure apps they already know and love. Now more than ever, businesses need to seize the power of the cloud to foster creativity, build teamwork and simplify security across their organization.
Reduced security
Businesses today face greater risks as employees access work from outside the office, on their own devices and over unprotected Wi-Fi networks. Cyberattacks target businesses of every size, leading to major losses in data and productivity – with 60% of small businesses closing down from the financial impact of an attack.
Higher cost of ownership
Businesses are likely to undergo frequent repairs with an old PC, increasing maintenance costs and impacting employees’ security and productivity.
