Moving away from Oracle and SAP to third-party support might be nerve-wracking and raise many questions.
The main concern for many organisations has always been the transition process from the vendor to Support Revolution. Understandably, there are worries that the process will be long, complicated, and time-consuming, offsetting the benefits provided by third-party support.
This is not the case. So, let’s break it down…
Support Revolution treats each transition from Oracle, or SAP, as a unique journey (because it is!), making sure each customer’s project is mapped out and overseen by an experienced member of our team.
Our detailed migration approach for moving organisations to our support model includes:
But, because we recognise that each and every organisation will have a unique IT roadmap, as well as their own requirements, this tried and tested methodology is adjusted to accommodate the needs of each customer. We don’t do ‘one-size-fits-all’ (unlike some…).
We’ve stripped the process right back and broken it down into six straightforward steps for you to make your transition to third-party support as smooth as possible.
It’s not uncommon for our customers to ask us if, and how, they’ll access vendor-provided patches if they choose to move to third-party support.
We recognise that this is an area of concern for many organisations and that’s why we thought we’d circle back to step 2 in our onboarding journey and elaborate.
The short answer is: we will download and create a ‘patch archive’ for our customers. A patch archive is a customer’s own copy of the patches the vendor has issued but which have not yet been applied to their systems.
The long answer involves our customers completing a questionnaire to gather information about their systems, including software and product versions.
Once we have this information, our expert team will help our customers select the best option for storing the patch archive, which can either be on your own network or in a Cloud environment, such as Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure.
The patch archive creation takes place throughout the entire onboarding process, and we will have regular workshops with your team to ensure a straightforward, seamless process.
