There are two legitimate reasons why organizations decide to postpone their investment in a Drupal upgrade:
Your strategic roadmap for digital transformation is not ready yet or needs adjusting.
Some organizations have completely overhauled their business model in 2020 and are looking to drastically alter or expand their digital plans. That is absolutely fine. If your digitalization roadmap needs further refinement, you shouldn’t compromise on the careful definition of your vision, mission and business objectives. In this case, our Drupal 7 Maintenance Plan is the preferred alternative while you work on defining your strategy.
Your business model will not change in the coming months, but your organization needs financial resources.
Due to the current economic volatility and uncertain business climate, many companies suffer from irregular cash flow. If the digital investment you had planned for is at risk, you might be better off postponing this high-impact project and instead opt for a small recurring investment in support for Drupal 7.
