Sunsetting a product is never an easy decision, especially when it has been a part of our lineup for many years. However, several key factors have led us to this point:

1. Enhanced Features and Capabilities: Our latest version of Dovico Timesheet offers numerous advanced features and capabilities that were not possible with Version 13. By focusing our efforts on the latest version, we can provide more powerful tools to manage your projects and time more effectively.
2. Improved Security and Compliance: Technology and security standards evolve rapidly. Sunsetting the older version allows us to ensure that all our products meet the latest security protocols and compliance requirements, protecting your data and providing peace of mind.
3. Streamlined Support and Maintenance: Supporting multiple versions of a product can spread our resources thin. By consolidating our efforts, we can offer more efficient and comprehensive support for our current products, ensuring you receive the best possible service.
