September 30th is the deadline by which SAP users must notify SAP of their intent to terminate their annual maintenance/support agreement to avoid being auto-renewed for the following year. By exercising the right to cancel (sending the termination notification), SAP users gain 90 days to negotiate better price, terms, and conditions with SAP, or to switch to a third-party support provider like Spinnaker Support. Time is critical.

SAP has been known to spread deliberate misconceptions regarding the viability and value of third-party support, so don’t let them lead you down the wrong path.

Educate yourself by learning more about third-party support and by getting answers to the most common misconceptions about leaving SAP-provided support. Watch our new SAP support video, featuring interviews with top Spinnaker Support executives that combine more than 50 years of experience in the SAP ecosystem:[fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none” last=”no” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all”][fusion_youtube id=”https://youtu.be/b3UDD-aBAhc” width=”600″ height=”350″ autoplay=”no” api_params=”” class=”” /][fusion_text]
