At CCR Systems, we know that the key to staying competitive in the fast-paced retail and service sectors is embracing change—and that means keeping your technology up to date.
We consistently encourage our suppliers to utilise the latest innovations, ensuring our customers remain compliant and secure, especially when it comes to financial transactions. Today, we want to discuss an exciting development: Windows 11 and how it can revolutionise your EPOS and Kiosk operations.
What are the Risks of Staying with Windows 10?
While your Windows 10 devices will still function after support ends, they will lack the crucial updates necessary to keep software secure and operating smoothly. This is particularly important for EPOS and Kiosk systems that handle sensitive payment information. Organisations relying on Microsoft Windows 365 applications may encounter compatibility issues, as these applications will cease to function on Windows 10, potentially disrupting your business operations.
Failing to upgrade can expose your EPOS and Kiosk systems to significant security vulnerabilities. Research shows that 70% of companies affected by human-operated ransomware have fewer than 500 employees. Without the latest security patches and updates, your devices become prime targets for cyber threats, risking costly data breaches and downtime. Additionally, the absence of support may complicate compliance with regulatory standards, increasing your organisation’s risk profile and jeopardising customer trust.
Staying with Windows 10 may also hinder your team’s productivity. Modern EPOS software can run seamlessly on both Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems, but by clinging to the older version, you may miss out on new features designed to improve efficiency and insights. This oversight could potentially lead to up to a 42% decrease in productivity, which can severely impact your bottom line.
As Windows 10 approaches its end of service, integrating new software or technologies may become increasingly challenging. This limitation can stifle growth and innovation, affecting your business’s competitive edge. Many older devices may not support an upgrade to Windows 11 Pro, necessitating the replacement of outdated equipment. Unsupported systems generally require more maintenance, exposing businesses to security risks and hampering employee satisfaction and efficiency.
Why Windows 11 is the Future for Your EPOS and Kiosk Systems
Adapting to the best tools available is vital for the success of your business. Windows 11 brings a plethora of benefits specifically designed to enhance your EPOS and Kiosk operations. With enhanced device performance and faster load times, your systems can handle peak-hour pressures with ease, ensuring smoother transactions and happier customers.
Windows 11 also offers better compatibility with modern hardware, allowing your EPOS systems to function seamlessly with the latest software updates and applications. The modern, streamlined design of Windows 11 promotes productivity and creativity, creating an engaging interface that your staff will appreciate.
Cyber Security in the Modern Era
In an increasingly digital landscape, security is paramount. Windows 11 provides robust protection for your sensitive business data, helping safeguard against cyber threats. Its built-in security features are aligned with the zero-trust security model, ensuring your EPOS and Kiosk systems are well-defended against evolving threats. Regular security updates further enhance your organisation’s defence mechanisms, protecting your business from potential data breaches.
