Microsoft Lifecycle Cadence:
Direction for What’s Next

A client briefing to clarify immediate action and plan confidently for recurring lifecycle change.

Microsoft’s retirement of Exchange Web Services (EWS) and the approaching end of support for Visual Studio 2017 are not isolated milestones. They reflect an ongoing lifecycle cadence that requires immediate operational action and thoughtful long-term planning.

In this on-demand client briefing, we will clarify what these changes mean for firms using Aderant Expert and Expert Sierra and how to approach recurring enforcement with greater confidence and structure:

• Understand the operational impact of EWS retirement and Visual Studio changes
• Review upgrade considerations, including Expert and Expert Sierra 8.2.4.1
• Clarify temporary mitigation paths and their limitations

Catch the replay to move from uncertainty to a well-defined plan, grounded in insight, timing, and what matters most to your firm’s operations.
