Guide: Leaving Oracle Support

Why read this guide?

You’ve decided that third-party support is right for your organisation, and now all you need to do is leave Oracle.

This guide will show you what steps your organisation should take if you are looking at giving notice to Oracle within the next 12 months.

We also show you in this guide how your organisation can save 50% on support for your Oracle software.

Beware of Oracle's automatic renewal policy that comes with automatic price rises. Find out what you need to do to avoid this.

Oracle has a 'matching service levels' policy. It's not what Oracle sales reps tell you it is. Discover the extent of this policy in this guide.

Oracle also has restrictions on how many files you can download per day to make it harder for you to leave Oracle Support.
