Many enterprises are still running and using older Microsoft systems, and continue to get value from them. For example SQL Server 2008, Windows Server 2012 are still in service in many environments.
Spinnaker will secure those systems without having to pay the ESU fees by creating compensatory controls and workarounds to resolve vulnerabilities tailored to your environment. That means that unlike with Microsoft where patches rely on particular service packs – which again is an upgrade you may not want – our security solutions will provide protection for your environment regardless of service pack.
Third-party support is ideal for organizations that either need short-term cost relief or are in a longer-term state of financial hardship. Third-party support is a smart, safe way to achieve immediate cost savings and positively impact the organization’s financial performance.
Similarly, companies that are owned or partially funded by private equity firms are often mandated to grow quickly and/or dramatically reduce operating costs, and thus have become prime candidates for third-party support.
If you’re using legacy Microsoft products, and have not yet decided on a future roadmap or still reviewing your strategy but facing into a large and increasing ESU bill you should consider our service.
We will break the linkage between being forced to upgrade , commit to move to cloud, or pay ESU fees. We will provide Support, Security, Advisory Services, and Break Fix services, around the clock with enterprise grade SLAs. Affording you the time to make strategic decisions that fit your agenda not your OEM Vendor’s.
Analysts estimate that thousands of organizations – of all sizes, from all industries, and around the globe – are now on third-party support as a means to restore high-quality service at an affordable price. Spinnaker Support is able to simultaneously lower the cost and improve the quality of annual support because our sole focus is on service delivery, not generating revenue to fuel software development.
"We have been using Spinnaker for 2 years and they have never disappointed in any way. We switched to Spinnaker because of a much better service delivery with promptness and their breadth of understanding and expertise. We have really enjoyed using Spinnaker."
