Why discontinue products?
Chaos strives to deliver innovative products and services that create value for our customers, great user experience, and outstanding final results. To keep up with this product development some products eventually reach their natural end of life.
A product or service is discontinued in phases to ensure you have sufficient time to transition to an alternative solution.
