Third-Party Support for Oracle
Remend helps organizations decide whether third-party support & maintenance from Rimini Street, Spinnaker Support, Support Revolution, and others is the right choice for Oracle software support.
Schedule ConsultationKeep or Cancel Oracle Support?
Third-party support providers suggest that annual software support payments are double what they should be. While cutting annual fees in half or more is financially compelling, organizations must assess this value proposition independent of both Oracle and the third-party providers.
Remend empowers everyone in an organization with unequivocal evidence that eliminates anecdotal or emotional appeals to continue paying Oracle software support forever.

We Can HelpSupport Service Utilization
Remend bridges the gap between support payments and operational behavior to report on how support services are being utilized. This gap is filled by collecting and analyzing the version, update, and patch history for Oracle software. This is vital for databases given Oracle’s contention that only it can protect companies against data breaches, hacks, viruses, and cyberthreats.
Remend collects service request history to assess how often customers are accessing My Oracle Support and at what severity level. Remend also categorizes software versions by support status to expose old or aging software that is, or soon will be, end of life and unsupported by Oracle.
