The Clock is Ticking on Windows Server 2003 Support

The End of Support (EOS) of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 in July 2015 will put millions of enterprise servers at risk. And according to a recent study by leading analyst firm Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), “More than 80% of enterprise and midmarket organizations still support Windows Server 2003 to some extent.” If your organization uses Microsoft Server 2003, the EOS will introduce serious security risks unless you are fully prepared to migrate to a new platform or put compensating controls in place. Because hackers know that Microsoft will no longer acknowledge or patch vulnerabilities, these servers will quickly become a favorite target for attacks. And the risks of running Windows Server 2003 after EOS will increase over time as more issues are found and not patched.

Overcoming the 5 Roadblocks to Workforce Management Success

Yet, even successful projects often fail to achieve the full range of intended benefits. In the case of a technology project seeking to hit its mark—from staying on budget to achieving the desired results—these failures can be traced back to shortcomings in how the human element of the project was managed.

As organizations grow, so do the advantages of using labor data to inform business strategy. If the need for better labor data requires your organization to implement a new workforce management solution, think ‘transition,’ not simply ‘change.’ Effectively managing the transition can keep a technology initiative on track, help employees focus on the benefits of the new solution and support a positive rollout with lasting results.
