How Peaqview Tracks Obsolescence
Three capabilities that give you complete visibility into technology lifecycle risk.
Lifecycle Phase Tracking
Every component in your portfolio has a lifecycle status: Plan, Phase-In, Active, Phase-Out, or End of Life. Peaqview calculates the current phase automatically based on dates and shows you what's approaching critical stages.
Technopedia Integration
Automatically enrich your inventory with vendor lifecycle data from Technopedia. No more manual research to find EOL dates. The platform syncs regularly to keep your data current.
Risk Inheritance Engine
If a component depends on something obsolete, it inherits that risk. Peaqview propagates obsolescence scores up through your architecture so you can see which applications and capabilities are affected.
Risk Inheritance: The "Weakest Wins" Principle
Your application is only as secure as its most obsolete dependency. Peaqview makes this hidden risk visible.
How It Works
The CRM System has three technology dependencies. Even though the Web Server and Auth Service are current, the obsolete Database (score: 72) determines the application's inherited risk.
This inherited risk then flows up to the Business Capability layer, making it clear that "Customer Management" is at risk due to underlying technology obsolescence.
Risk Score Levels
What Drives the Obsolescence Score
Peaqview calculates a 0-100 risk score based on multiple factors. Weights are configurable per workspace.
Support Status
Is the vendor still providing updates? Active support scores low, end-of-life scores high.
EOL Proximity
How close is the end-of-life date? More urgency as the date approaches.
Version Gap
How far behind the current version? Older versions often lack security patches.
Lifecycle Stage
Where is this in your internal lifecycle? Phase-out and EOL stages add risk.
What You Can Expect
Organizations using proactive obsolescence management typically see these outcomes.
Complete Visibility
See every component's lifecycle status in one place. No more spreadsheets, no more guessing which systems are approaching EOL.
Earlier Warning
With Technopedia integration and automated alerts, you'll know about approaching EOL dates months in advance—not weeks.
Hidden Risk Exposed
Risk inheritance shows you which business capabilities are affected by underlying obsolescence. See the full impact, not just the technical details.
Planned Migration
When you know what's coming, you can plan migrations during maintenance windows instead of scrambling after failures.
