What should you look for when transitioning GADS software solutions?

by ronfluegge 1. August 2019 08:00

When transitioning to a new GADS software solution, you should also look for software that is easy to transition to, with fast data migration and customer service options for those making a transition.

The company you choose should be well-supported and well-experienced having done the data migration before.

Moreover, it should have the capability to perform the important tasks that your prior solution did to avoid potential confusion and integration issues.

Security Patch Support Ends for SQL Server 2008/R2

by ronfluegge 11. July 2019 12:22

July 9 marked the end of "extended support" for SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2, the last five-year phase of Microsoft's overall 10-year product lifecycle for these products.

The two servers will no longer receive security patches from Microsoft after that date. They'll continue to run, but they're potentially subject to attacks that won't get addressed by Microsoft in the form of patches, unless organizations pay extra.

Why is it important to transition early from a discontinued GADS software system?

by ronfluegge 1. July 2019 08:00

All transitions take time. Not only do you need to move your GADS data over to another system and ensure that the new system is correct, but you also need to train your staff members in using the new system. If you wait too long to transition to your new system, you may find yourself running into issues later.

Further, if you wait until your software system is already discontinued, you won’t be able to get any help from your software company following the transition. This will make what could be a simple task an arduous process.

Transitioning early gives you times to iron out any potential problems and get your staff members acclimated to the new software’s use.
