Are you prepared for Office 2010 End of Support?


Microsoft announced that extended support for Office 2010 will end on October 13, 2020, at the same time recommending organizations to migrate to Office 365 ProPlus or Office 2019.
In 2020, Microsoft will end support for several applications, including Windows 7 and Office 2010.  By continuing to run Office 2010 after October 13, 2020, your business will become vulnerable to security risks as will no longer receive security and feature updates. Microsoft will no longer provide any support for bug fixes for the issues that could be discovered. Microsoft will also not provide security fixes for new vulnerabilities or technical support for issues beyond the end of support date.
Since the support for Office 2010 will be coming to an end it is best to start exploring other options. Some of the options to consider are the latest versions of Office such as Office 365 ProPlus or Office 2019.
