Windows 10:An Opportunity;Not an Obstacle
Microsoft will end extended support for Windows 7 Professional on January14, 2020. Consider Windows 10 as an engine for change: this is an opportunityfor financial institutions (Fls) to invest in a system that maintains compliance,enhances security and provides improved consumer experiences.

Anytime a new operating system (OS) is released, there's a lot of hype about the newsystem's benefits, but they can come at the cost of time and money. lf the system doesn'tdeliver as promised, or these benefits are perceived as of little use, it's not easy to jump onthe bandwagon the next time another release comes out. in fact, 60% of ATMs around theglobe were still running Windows XP a vear after extended maintenance ended,' But, if Flscan view the industry event as one of an opportunity, and not an obstacle, the chance toprovide consumers with a premier experience is just the tip of the benefits.

Between software, services and hardware updates, some experts predict it couldtake up to two years to fully upgrade to the new system.2
