How to stay secure with Microsoft ERP solutions

ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is business management software that simplifies a company's operations, unifies information from all departments, and coordinates the flow of data between business processes. Keeping this system current guarantees a company's security and good performance. 

To ensure secure, up-to-date, and productive systems, it is essential to understand how long solutions are supported and when they reach the end of support. This is especially relevant in the context of Microsoft ERP, where Hydra iT can play a key role in migrating to the latest versions, thus ensuring a company's comprehensive security.
 

What is the end of support?

End of support occurs when the supplier (in this case, Microsoft) stops providing security updates, software updates, technical support, and online content updates for a particular product or service. If a company continues to use a product or service without support, it will be more exposed to greater risks of viruses, malware, hackers, and data breaches.

The lifecycle policy varies depending on the type of product or service (such as operating system, server, application, cloud service, etc.) and the specific version or edition.
 

Why is the end of support important?

End of support is important because it affects ERP security and performance. Without security updates, systems become vulnerable to cyberattacks that can compromise data, damage reputation, and increase costs. Lack of updates can lead to compatibility problems, errors, and failures that disrupt operations and productivity.

Without technical support or online content updates, it becomes impossible to get assistance from Microsoft if there are problems with the ERP. What's more, you lose access to the new features and improvements that Microsoft implements in its products and services. It is therefore essential to know when Microsoft products and services reach the end of support and to plan for migration or upgrading.
