I totally agree about the value of staff.

I know of a case where support for a system was outsourced. Ran fine for years...until it didn't.
All of a sudden it became apparent that the outsource resource no-longer had the required skills to effect a recovery. It was the equivalent of trying to recover a failed SQL Server 4.2.
Moving from SQL2005 to SQL2014 wouldn't be too painful. Any earlier and only the relative simplicity of the earlier platforms helps. I'd hate to go through a migration from DTS to SSIS again

I'm not sure it's that hard to go from 2005 sp4+ to 2016. The core features are there and not much has been removed, though lots deprecated. I suppose if you had reserved words in code that could be an issue, but I'd think that shouldn't be too extensive. There are so many tools to rename things.
