SEC Communications - Integrating Customers With TechnologyStart a brief

Anticipate / practitioner material

The EOL conversation

End-of-life is a business decision about risk, support, spares, skills, and timing, not a catalogue notice.

The useful version of a technology decision is the one that survives contact with the people, systems, sites, and constraints that have to carry it.

Start with the operating situation. Name what changes for the customer, the operator, the technical evaluator, the OEM team, and the person who inherits the system after handover. Then choose the smallest architecture that can carry the outcome responsibly.
