On 14 July 2026 SQL Server 2016 reaches end of extended support, Windows Server 2016 follows in January 2027. Here is what actually happens, the real options, and the steps to take before the clock runs out.

The questions financial leaders ask us most often about cloud risk, AI costs, and the strategic implications of doing nothing. Not the questions IT teams bring, the ones that keep CFOs up at night.

AI is not another software trend. It is a fundamental restructuring of how companies operate. The winners will be the ones who can operationalize change reliably at scale.
