Click 8.3 Migration Guide: Information on EOL Security, Salesforce Field Service, and Transition Support
Author: Stephen Sugumar
If your organization is using Click 8.3, by this point you’re aware of the December 31, 2023 end-of-life (EOL) date. It’s a very big deal when a system reaches EOL, because it means a lack of support and increased risk—in terms of security, operations, financial repercussions, etc.
You might already know that. You might be currently looking to transition your organization to a new system or platform. You might be weighing your options, or in the final stages of deciding on a replacement.
It’s a big decision to make. If you have any questions or doubts at all about transitioning or deciding on that replacement, we’ve created a guide to help:
