End of Mainstream Maintenance FAQ

Written to be forwarded to the people who sign off

Clear enough for a steering group. Detailed enough for the people who will own the move.

The facts, without the pitch

What end of mainstream maintenance actually means for support, security fixes and certification, stated plainly enough to paste into a board update.

An honest look at composable

Where a commerce layer genuinely reduces the work and where it adds integration effort you would not otherwise carry. Both sides, with the trade-offs named.

A step by step migration path

Data mapping, integration inventory, rollout sequencing, and the checkpoints where a programme usually slips.

Three companies that did not rebuild

What a manufacturer, a brewer and an aircraft maker kept, what they moved first, and how long it took.

Catalogue size is usually what makes a replatform look impossible

These companies modernized the parts that mattered without pretending the existing business did not exist.
