Navigating the End of Support for Sterling B2B Integrator 6.0 and IBM Sterling File Gateway 6.0: Risks and Solutions

Introduction:

Come April 2024, Sterling B2B Integrator 6.0 and IBM Sterling File Gateway 6.0 will officially end their support. This pivotal change means more than just discontinuation of regular updates; it has far-reaching consequences that could directly impact your business operations and security. If you are still using these versions, it’s paramount to chart out your upgrade path.

Consequences of Lapsed Support:

When software support expires, it doesn’t merely mean an end to new features. Here’s what it truly signifies:

• No Technical Support: Experiencing issues? Unfortunately, you won’t have the luxury of reaching out to IBM’s technical team for resolution. This could potentially lead to prolonged downtimes affecting your business continuity.
• Security Vulnerabilities: Without ongoing updates, your system will be exposed to evolving threats, compromising your data’s security and potentially putting you at risk of breaches.
• Operational Inconsistencies: Any glitches, software inconsistencies, or system crashes will have to be managed in-house. This can lead to resource-draining troubleshooting without guarantees of solutions.
• Stalled Integration Capabilities: As industries evolve, there’s a need for systems to integrate with newer applications and technologies. Without support, ensuring these integrations can become a monumental challenge.
