The Spanish Congress of Deputies is not the only group of users reluctant to abandon Internet Explorer altogether. In eastern Eurasia, one of the most technologically innovative countries in the world is preparing to suffer “months of headaches” due to the end of support for the legendary Microsoft browser.
According to Nikkei Asia, most of the world companies and public administration Internet Explorer is still needed from Japan. Repeated warnings of their impending death do not seem to have had any effect on those who “wait until the last minute to update their systems.”
The news comes from Computer Engineering & Consulting, a Japanese consulting firm that has received numerous requests for assistance in migrating processes that only work with Internet Explorer to more modern browsers. to go forward.
Those affected include public administrations, financial institutions and companies in the industrial sector. According to Keyman’s Net survey 49% of Japanese organizations still use Internet Explorer to do some of their daily chores.
The legacy browser is an essential resource for employee attendance management systems, accounting layouts, and other internal tools, they explain. In addition, more than 20% of respondents said they do not have a migration plan after Internet Explorer support ends.
It should be noted that as we mentioned above, transitioning to new systems is not always an easy task. Developing new solutions depending on their size requires time, requires a lot of money. A clear example of this is what happened in COBOL, a programming language created in the sixties and still used today.
But unlike COBOL, which continues to evolve, there are other solutions that are doomed, and sticking to them can only lead to trouble. Going no further, the Tokyo government took so long to catch up with the modernization of its processes that it used 3.5-inch “floppy disks” to store some of its data until the fall of 2021.
How will Japan and the Internet Explorer example evolve? As browser support ends, Microsoft has developed a patch that extends its use for a few more years. We are talking about the IE mode integrated into Edge. Of course, it’s a compatibility solution within a modern browser, not a browser itself.
