Third-party support:
Secure, flexible, and cost-effective

We offer third-party support for a wide variety of software vendors. From Oracle, VMware, SAP, and Microsoft to many open-source products that are no longer supported by their original vendors, there are a wide range of options available.
We have in-depth knowledge of the market and will find the right third-party support solution for you.

Third-party support is just as secure as manufacturer support, but follows a completely different security model. It is also extremely flexible and significantly more cost-effective than the manufacturer’s original support.

We’ll independently assess whether third-party support makes sense for your environment and clarify all the legal requirements involved.

Is third-party support secure?

Third-party support is just as secure as vendor support. However, the security approaches differ significantly. For example, with Oracle and VMware, customers receiving third-party support no longer receive patches. System security is ensured through other techniques. In other cases, such as end-of-life support for open source, patches created by the provider itself were made available.

Oracle third-party support

Those who already own Oracle licenses do not need expensive vendor support. Oracle charges approximately 22% of the license cost annually, with price increases of 8–10% per year. Independent providers offer the same maintenance at a fraction of that cost. Certified pre-owned licenses cover any additional needs. Together, these two options significantly reduce ongoing costs.

VMware third-party support

Those who own VMware perpetual licenses can continue to use them with independent support instead of switching to the Broadcom subscription. If new needs arise, they can be met with used licenses. Together, these two approaches significantly reduce ongoing costs without compromising compliance.
