Risks of Using Eclipse

Why staying on Eclipse puts your lab at risk

Eclipse has been reliable for decades, but continuing to use it past End-of-Life can seriously affect your operations.

Complete inoperability

Eclipse will stop working entirely after December 31, 2029, a serious risk if your move to Enterprise isn’t finished first.

Data loss or corruption

Without updates and bug fixes, Eclipse is prone to data corruption, integration failures and loss of critical information.

No security updates

Without security patches, Eclipse may become vulnerable to malware, data breaches and system exploits.

No technical support

Any issue, minor or critical, must be resolved internally, which can increase downtime and costs.

Performance degradation

Legacy software struggles with modern workloads, leading to slower processing and inefficiency.

Compliance challenges

As standards and regulations evolve, Eclipse may no longer meet compliance requirements, creating legal and financial risk.

Not just a replacement, the next step

Enterprise is the next step in your journey with Alpha Technologies.
