Sometimes in life we need an upgrade to take advantage of the latest and greatest. And technology is no different. We’re referring to SQL Server 2008/R2 which is reaching end of support. On July 9, 2019 Microsoft will no longer support these servers.
How work is done is changing and at the root of this change are people that need to be able to work anywhere, anytime, and on any device.
