Ferrilli Joins Philadelphia100® Hall of Fame

We’re excited to announce that Ferrilli has been named to the Philadelphia100® list for the 5th time!

As a 5-time winner, Ferrilli earned a spot in the prestigious Philadelphia100® Hall of Fame; a distinction shared by just 28 other companies.

Ferrilli landed at No. 53 on this year’s list, which recognizes the fastest growing, privately-held companies in the region.

Ferrilli Security Alert: Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 Support Ending in One Year

We’re alerting our higher education technology community that support for Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2, including security updates, are coming to an end in one year.

Extended Support for these operating systems will end on October 10, 2023.

If you haven’t thought about migrating your servers to newer versions, now is a good time to start!

Considering that these projects can take significant time to schedule and execute, the earlier you start the better off you will be. Many organizations faced challenges when Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 were end-of-life. It is important not to be caught in a similar position this time around.

We have also been noticing that IT security initiatives are on the rise and having out-of-service OSes is often a top item to resolve. Security auditors will mark these servers as a risk to be remediated and mitigations are often costly and service impacting. Our team recommends avoiding the hassle and starting your upgrade project now.

As always, if you have any questions or support needs around this project, Ferrilli is here to help. We have the expertise and working knowledge to help you upgrade or migrate your servers with minimal impact to end-users.​

Ferrilli Financial Aid Alert: FAFSA Simplification is Coming. Will Your Institution be Ready?

Beginning in the 2024-25 Award Year, Federal Student Aid will be making significant changes to the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) as well as the methodology used to determine student eligibility for financial assistance. These changes are anticipated to benefit students and their families, not only by simplifying the FAFSA application itself, but also by reducing barriers to accessing federal funds for education. These positive changes for financial aid applicants will have monumental impacts for higher education institutions that must start being considered now to adequately prepare for what is to come.
