Government agencies, financial institutions and manufacturing companies have long been aware of future changes, but they are in no hurry to postpone the necessary measures for the future. Public authorities are particularly slow to respond. Now everyone is in a panic asking for help adapting their Internet Explorer-only optimized service. Developers do not have time to physically do their work due to the influx of customers. It is expected to be related chaos will continue for a few more months.

• Nikkei draws readers’ attention to a March survey conducted by information technology provider Keyman’s Net. It found that many organizations in Japan still rely on Internet Explorer: 49 percent of respondents said they use a browser to work.
• They say the browser is used to manage employee engagement, costing, and other internal tools. In most cases, they have no other options.

It will be reminded that the last day of Internet Explorer support is June 15. After 27 years of operation and the emergence of several competitors, Microsoft no longer sees the need to support legacy technology. In 2015, the company itself launched a new browser, Edge, and has since done its best to promote it and encourage the transition. There is a built-in “IE mode” that provides access to legacy sites and programs based on Internet Explorer. The feature will be supported until at least 2029, giving developers who haven’t yet migrated to new technologies eight years to upgrade legacy apps.
