Unique Needs?
No Problem
You will notice a difference in the way we work with you during the sales process. We will not lock you into a one-size-fits-all, rigid, three-year contract – a key reason many organizations have recently switched over to us from our competitor.
We offer flexible commercial contracts that adapt to your changing business needs. Merger? Acquisition? Downsizing? We work with you to align support fees with use.
And we prioritize transparency. Navigating what you can and cannot do with your existing Oracle and SAP contracts is extremely important. We never want you to enter into an agreement with us where you may be exposed to further charges from a publisher.
We wanted to have a business partner to help us coordinate our SAP, Oracle and IBM applications. We found the best partner in Spinnaker Support.

You Deserve the
Best Security
We deliver the only Seven-Point Security Solution for your data and critical system security. We provide a layered, Defense in Depth approach that future proofs the security of your environments.
What does that mean? We target weakness categories rather than chasing or trying to predict individual threats. And we use hardening techniques and compensating controls to ensure your systems can pass penetration testing and audits.
All that comes standard with our third-party support. We also offer proactive security tooling – but we don’t rely on it exclusively as our competitor does.

Safest Choice.
Literally.
We are a company with integrity. The alleged and illegal actions resulting in Oracle USA’s court cases against Rimini Street are not and never will be a part of the Spinnaker Support business model.
We continue to have access to Oracle tools that our clients have rights to, and are able to perform many services – such as archiving – that Rimini Street is no longer allowed to legally do.
You will not be compromised by limits on our ability to deliver support, or distracted or involved in the ongoing legal battle between Oracle and Rimini Street.
