Are you looking at ways to increase effectiveness in the way your team communicates and collaborates within your organization? As mobile workforces continue to evolve in companies, this question is becoming more prominent. There are many applications out there that can help achieve communication and collaboration, however there is one that stands above the rest. In 2016, Microsoft added a new tool to its robust Office 365 suite lineup.
Is your company currently using Windows 7? If so, it’s time to consider upgrading or even replacing your organization’s workstations to be on Windows 10. Once Microsoft ends support on January 14, 2020, operating systems that are still using Windows 7 will be vulnerable to cybersecurity threats including viruses, zero-day exploits, ransomware, malware and spyware. Microsoft will no longer be providing the security updates/patches that they normally do when a cyber-threat emerges.
Despite Microsoft’s commitment to officially end extended support for the ever popular Windows 7 operating system on January 14, 2020 – there is a critical Microsoft patch that will be made available for Windows 7 machines on March 12, 2019. If administrators aren’t diligent in applying the important March 12 update, it could mean the end of Microsoft updates for Windows 7 computers.
