SAP and Oracle services firm Spinnaker Support has launched into database management with the purchase of Dobler Consulting.
The buy, which adds 50 full-time staff to the ERP support specialist, will allow Spinnaker to extend its horizon to include support and managed services for Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and SAP Sybase database technologies, as well as so-called NoSQL databases.
Spinnaker, which also supports JD Edwards (acquired along with PeopleSoft by Oracle in 2003) and Salesforce, has also taken on board around 45 new consulting customers with the deal.

Dobler – a SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft gold partner – offers overlapping and new services to Spinnaker, according to the firms. In terms of the latter, it will allow the ERP support biz to offer new services such as Microsoft SQL Server and NoSQL support, and more than triples the size of its managed services group.

The move risks signalling something of a trend among enterprise software support providers. Another ERP support specialist, Rimini Street, has also announced it is [6]expanding into open-source databases including MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB.
Open-source databases now make up around 51.1 per cent of the installed base globally as of this month, [7]according to DB-Engines .

The Register has asked Spinnaker if it intends to move into open source. ®

"Open-source databases now make up around 51.1% of the installed base"
Open Source is the future.
Oracle is a dinosaur slowly chocking on its own ashes, and SAP is going to follow the same route.
Besides, in space no one can control your licenses.
