A support deadline is not a strategy, but it is a decision point - and most groups meet it unprepared, with a vendor's roadmap in one hand and no independent view of their own position in the other. This series sets out what each vendor has actually published about its consolidation products, what that does and does not oblige you to do, and how to build a case that survives a board reading it.
We do not sell software and we do not recommend a destination. Every date here comes from the vendor's own published maintenance position, and where the popular story is wrong - Hyperion is the clearest example - we say so.
For what a replacement should be measured against, see the finance function benchmarks.
