Imagine being a customer and finding out that your personal information, from your contact details to payment information, is kept in a database that hasn’t been updated in years. Your first reaction would probably be worry or fear. There have been many stories recently about data breaches, and customers are becoming more aware of the dangers of poor data management. If they know their data is stored in an outdated system, they might lose trust in your business.
When customers don’t feel confident that a company can keep their information safe, it doesn’t just make them less likely to stick around; it can also hurt the company’s reputation. News spreads quickly online, and if people perceive a company as careless with their data, it can deter potential customers and partners. Building trust takes time, but it can be lost in an instant.

We understand that there are times when circumstances may require you to remain on an older or unsupported version of Db2. While this may be necessary in some cases, it does come with significant risks. Using Triton’s RemoteDBA service for out of support versions is a great “insurance policy” to make sure that you have access to skilled Db2 resources around the clock in case any issues arise.
