Preparing for the Microsoft Server 2012 Phase-Out Across Industries
As we approach summer, it’s imperative for organizations across diverse sectors to gear up for the end-of-life phase of Microsoft Server 2012. With a looming deadline in October, strategic planning and execution of a server system transition are essential to mitigate downtime and operational impacts.

The Impending End of Microsoft Server 2012:
Microsoft Server 2012, a technology a decade old, is approaching its operational end. Outdated in its features and security protocols, it falls short in addressing today’s cybersecurity threats. Post-October 10, 2023, the discontinuation of support from Microsoft heightens risks of cyberattacks, a concern for any sector relying on this server technology.
For organizations, particularly in healthcare and business environments, adhering to data protection and privacy regulations is of paramount importance. The use of an unsupported server system like Microsoft Server 2012 post-end-of-life could lead to significant compliance issues.
