The Value of Oracle and SAP Vendor Maintenance Fees Decreases Over Time
Oracle and SAP’s annual software support revenue is typically more than 90%, meaning software vendors can spend less than 10% of their client’s annual fees on providing services. This can cause many gaps against service needs, such as support for custom configurations and customized code (“add-ons”) common to many Oracle and SAP licenses.
After some number of years, Oracle and SAP arbitrarily downgrade the range of services available for a particular release level – but are known to continue charging the same fee (or more ) than if full support is available for the release and push for upgrades and migrations to their latest product releases that may not benefit a particular client.
For those who choose to follow the roadmap dictated by the vendor, the total cost of ownership of the ERP system will usually only increase, even if choosing to upgrade or continue operations with their current release.
