Why Replace Oracle-Provided Support with Spinnaker Support?

Enterprise software support is a mandatory expense, but it should not be one that strains your budget. It’s critical to have reliable, expert assistance readily available to handle unplanned application issues, but it should also be affordable.

Oracle Support has diminished into a self-service model with slow response times and little value to organizations running stable software and systems. Hundreds of global enterprises in nearly every industry have now migrated away from Oracle-provided support to our third-party alternative because Oracle:

  • Raises support fees annually by 2-4%, with no material benefits.
  • Provides a primarily self-service model instead of immediate, live assistance.
  • Does not assist with customizations and integrations.
  • Responds far too slowly to P2 and P3 issues.
  • Insists on unjustifiable upgrades or unready cloud products.

The Advantages of Oracle Demantra Third-Party Support

Proper demand planning results in higher service levels, greater customer satisfaction, lower inventory costs, and lower distribution costs. Oracle Demantra supports demand management and supply chain management functions by automating the forecast process through quantitative analytics and advance modelling techniques.

Demantra has been a success – before and after its acquisition by Oracle – because it captures demand signals from multiple sources and converts those into an actionable, consensus forecast for all stakeholders and planners. It also integrates well with other Oracle products like EBS Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning, and Oracle Rapid Planning.

As Oracle aggressively pushes for the adoption of newer products like Oracle Demand Management Cloud, it has severely reduced its commitment to support legacy on-premise applications like Demantra. Spinnaker Support’s services are designed to deliver continuing and comprehensive support for enterprise applications, regardless of whether Oracle has declared an End of Life to a release.

Our large, knowledgeable teams of Oracle support engineers can address virtually anything with Demantra and your associated technology stack. Our engineers average over 20 years of experience and help fill your knowledge gaps, ease your staffing constraints, and provide expert assistance for complex product and technology issues.

Organizations choose Spinnaker Support because we:

  • Immediately reduce the cost of support fees by an average of 60%
  • Deliver responses in under 15 minutes from our level 4 senior engineers
  • Supply comprehensive coverage that includes customizations and interoperability issues
  • Help extend the life of stable, customized, and productive applications
