Windows XP SP3 and Office 2003 – Support Ends April 8, 2014
Are you still using Windows XP SP3 or Office 2003 and have not started the migration to a modern desktop?
If you answered yes, you may not meet the April 8, 2014 deadline. Full deployment can take anywhere from 18 to 32 months.
Whether you’ve begun your migration or not, Btech can help ensure a smooth and secure transition for your credit union.
Why do I need Support?
No support means no new security updates. Without these updates, your environment will be exposed to many security and compliance risks. Not only will you be vulnerable to viruses, attacks, or other intrusions, you may also be facing repercussions from the regulatory bodies such as the DFI or NCUA.
