A short YouTube presentation discussing customer reasons for software upgrades—specifically DB2 (from v10.5 to v11.5) and Cognos—where upgrades are often driven primarily by the vendor ending support rather than new business requirements.

Questions this video answers

DB2 version 10.5 and DB2 11.5

I can't tell you how many times I get on the phone with the customer and I said, well, this last upgrade that you did from DB2 version 10.5 to DB2 11.5, what were the features and functions that you were looking for? Or this Cognos upgrade that you just did, what was the business asking for? 9 times out of 10, that answer is, we're upgrading because the manufacturer not supporting us anymore, right? That's really the answer that they're getting.
