Innovation and creating new software is part of the continuing cycle of Improvement for all software, and itis necessary for software to evolve, for businesses to maintain security and efficiency- and in the case of NCR Voyix's market-leading retail loyalty software, this process Is no different. We are moving older, and less updated versions of our loyalty software to end of life and over time, they will not be supported.
Phasing out some older software, potentially reliant on partially obsolete technology stacks will ensure that we can shift our resources from maintaining outdated solutions to developing and supporting new, more secure and efficient products. As an NCR Voyix customer, you will have received these notifications through your PS lead in March of 2023, but we want to ensure that you are up to speed as the deadline for End of Support draws near.
