Alternative Support to Deliver Higher ROI on Current Oracle Database Releases

Meet database needs with exceptional, independent service

Most Oracle Database support customers are likely frustrated with rising annual maintenance fees and costly forced upgrades. They express disappointing customer service experiences from the Oracle Database support team, and find they are getting few if any valuable enhancements. Other common concerns include improving database performance and availability plus achieving comprehensive database security. Rimini Street provides independent, third-party support that addresses these Oracle Database maintenance concerns while delivering higher ROI on current Oracle Database releases.
