The consequences End-of-Life (EOL) software and hardware—and products at End-of-Support (EOS)—are too great to ignore. While security breaches due to obsolete technology are headliners in the media, inadequate product support also puts enterprises at risk of:
- being out of compliance
- increasing the cost of support
- reducing performance and productivity
- disrupting availability of critical processes
To reduce the risks and costs associated with end-of-life software and hardware, you first must know if you have it and where it resides. But finding the EOL and EOS dates and accurately locating all the instances of the obsolete product isn’t easy.
