On 9 July 2024, Microsoft will end support for SQL Server 2014. This could have a significant impact on any business still using this version. Here's why it's important to upgrade and how we can help. Why...
Why is the end of SQL Server 2014 support a problem?
When software support is withdrawn, a number of problems can arise:
Safety risks: Without support, SQL Server 2014 will no longer receive security updates. This increases the vulnerability of the system to cyber attacks, which could result in serious data loss or theft.
Compatibility issuesA: Newer software and systems may no longer be compatible with SQL Server 2014, which may limit the company's efficiency and growth potential.
Performance and stability: Newer versions can bring significant performance and stability improvements. Using old versions can slow down systems and increase the chance of crashes.
Gaps in support: With the end of official support, technical assistance will also be limited. This can make it difficult to resolve problems quickly and effectively.
How can you prepare for change?
The end of SQL Server 2014 support is a great opportunity to assess your business needs and upgrade your IT infrastructure. Here are some steps you can take:
System scan: Check which systems and applications use SQL Server 2014.
Developing an upgrade plan: Make a plan to implement the necessary updates. It is also important to consider downtime and user training.
Select a new version: Choose a newer version of SQL Server that meets the current and future needs of your business.
