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.
Current situation
Fls and solution providers will need to upgrade their systems to
Windows 10 by January14, 2020, as Microsoft stops supporting older
operating systems. While 2020 may soundfar away, Fls should start
preparing now, as this isn't a standard downloadable
upgrade.Migrating the self-service delivery channel to Windows 10
may require additional upgradesas well as testing-tasks that can
take a lot of time out of a technology department'sschedule.
Between software, services and hardware updates, some experts
predict it couldtake up to two years to fully upgrade to the new
system.2
Windows 10 is the current generation operating system on which the
industry is aligning.This OS is the platform to launch into next
generation software technology and is alsorequired to maintain
regulatory compliance after January 2020.lts many features enable:
PCI compliance portion
New security featuresAn enhanced consumer experience
64-bit architecture
Remote upgrade capability
lt's a "tough pill to swallow” for many Fls to think about
expending capital on a migrationstrategy, and there are a variety
of reasons to take a chance and continue with the statusquo.
However, it can be a big gamble to push off upgrades. Microsoft
ceasing support ofolder systems could mean facing these below
unwanted challenges and headaches: Upgrading your fleet to Windows
10 can help you futureproof your business throughadvanced
functionality, speed and reliability to meet future demands.
As Microsoft halts its support of older Windows systems, Fls will
want to upgrade in orderto adhere to PCI compliance and be less
vulnerable to logical attacks.
Microsoft and lntel recommend 64-bit architecture, which allows
terminal processorsto better utilize memory and run concurrent
applications. However, Windows 10 hascomponent subsystems that can
run applications developed for 32-bit environments.
