Comprehensive, Responsive, and Affordable Support for the Oracle Retail Suite

Spinnaker Support is a leading global provider of third-party support for enterprises running Oracle Retail (Retek). Spinnaker Support’s third-party Oracle Retail support replaces Oracle’s annual support. Oracle third-party support is always at least half the cost of Oracle-provided support and provides more services through an assigned support team and highly personalized service.

When switching to Spinnaker Support, Oracle Retail customers gain more comprehensive and responsive service, save an average of 60% on their support fees, and can remain on their current on-premise software release indefinitely. Customers trust us to keep their applications running smoothly, securely, and in compliance, and to help them navigate the journey from on-premise to hybrid to cloud.

The Retail product line is expansive, and Spinnaker Support offers support for Retail Merchandising, Retail Planning, Retail Supply Chain, and more. We can support these products stand-alone or in combination with other applications that connect to Oracle retail, including Oracle Database, Fusion Middleware, and Oracle Technology.

Why Replace Oracle-Provided Support with Third-Party 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:

Oracle Retail Third Party Support
  • 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 Third-Party Oracle Retail Support

Whether you are expanding your Oracle Retail software or extending the life of your existing investments, Spinnaker Support can assist you. For many retailers, it makes sense to extend the life of their current Oracle Retail solutions rather than unnecessarily upgrade or migrate to its Cloud Service. Spinnaker will help you maintain these applications while you determine the right strategic product road map for your retail business.

Customers are concerned with Oracle’s lack of commitment to enhance and support current on-premise releases and annoyed by their aggressive push to upgrade or migrate. With Spinnaker you will experience a more responsive, comprehensive, and affordable service for your enterprise applications and technologies. We have no term limitations on support, regardless if Oracle has declared an End of Life to a release.

Our large, knowledgeable teams of Oracle support engineers can address virtually anything with Oracle Retail 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 less than 15 minutes, from Level 4 senior engineers.
  • Supply comprehensive coverage that includes customizations and interoperability issues.
