Outdated or unsupported systems can lead to downtime, rising costs, and security vulnerabilities. Gibson helps you evaluate your current technology and move to a modern, fully supported solution—quickly and confidently.
When your technology reaches end-of-life, it doesn’t just stop working; it stops being supported. That means higher risk, higher costs, and limited options for keeping your business connected and secure.
Manufacturers stop providing patches, firmware, and technical support, leaving your systems vulnerable and harder to maintain.
Without updates, your network and data face increased security risks, and integrations with modern tools often break or fail.
Aging hardware and software require more maintenance, and replacement parts become harder to find, costing more in the long run.
Many business systems, including phones, servers, and software, are reaching or have reached end-of-life. Gibson helps you identify which ones are putting your operations at risk and find the right path forward.
Legacy communication platforms are among the most commonly affected.
Systems like Mitel, Sx200/Sx2000/Sx50, MiVoice office (formerly Inter-Tel), MiVoice Connect (formerly ShoreTel), NEC, Avaya/AT&T, Nortel, Toshiba, Panasonic, and Tie key systems are no longer supported by manufacturers.
Gibson helps you replace these with modern, scalable phone solutions that improve reliability and reduce maintenance costs.
Aging servers, routers, switches, and PBX hardware often reach end-of-life without clear replacement paths. These components become harder to service and expose your business to increased downtime and security vulnerabilities.
Gibson helps you migrate to cloud-based or hybrid infrastructure designed for today’s performance and protection standards.
Outdated software, collaboration tools, and on-premise platforms can lose compliance certification, stop integrating with newer systems, and post data security risks.

Still have questions about what end-of-life means for your business systems?
Here are a few of the most common ones we hear from organizations planning an upgrade.
It means the manufacturer no longer provides software updates, technical support, or replacement parts for that product. Over time, this leaves your system more vulnerable to outages, data risks, and higher maintenance costs.
If your equipment is several years old, difficult to service, or has stopped receiving updates from the manufacturer, it’s likely near end-of-life. Gibson can confirm your system’s status and help you plan the next steps.
Not necessarily. Gibson helps businesses create phased upgrade plans, starting with the systems that pose the highest risk, so you can modernize without major disruption or downtime.
Yes. Our team handles the full migration process, including transferring data, configuring your new environment, and training your staff. We make sure your transition is smooth, secure, and fully supported.
When technology reaches end of life, every delay increases your risk. Let Gibson help you find a secure, supported solution that grows with your business.
