In today's technology world, it is very difficult to keep up to date with progress, yet Windows Server 2003 has been around for well over 10 years.

With around 12 million Windows Server 2003 still operating across the world, it’s clear that those who have used and relied on Windows Server 2003 to deliver essential services need to take urgent action.

organisations will be at greatly increased risk
costs will grow
downtime is inevitable
productivity will be impacted
