Plan your Oracle UPK migration with datango now!

Are you planning your Oracle UPK migration? What do you think about a solution that allows you to continue using your existing UPK content? According to recent announcements, the popular authoring solution Oracle UPK (User Productivity Kit) is coming to the end of live. This should put you on alert. Because there has been no development on Oracle UPK since April 2019. The final termination of the programme has been set for December 2022. During this period, the last update of Service Pack 5 (12.1.0.5) will be released in December 2022, after which the server will be shut down. The extension applies explicitly to version 12.1. Customers who purchased version 11.1 were only supported until March 2020.

No replacement product from Oracle itself!

The Oracle UPK solution is used for the development of training material, process documentation and aims to increase user productivity. Oracle announced in the course of the End of Life that there will be no replacement product for the authoring solution from Oracle itself. In concrete terms, this means that there will be no development and, as a result, no more security upgrades. In addition, there will be no more on-demand support and no more help. Only the content existing until the end of live will remain in the UPK. After the end of support, Oracle UPK may no longer fit your company's standards for procured software.


Why you should not continue UPK without support

Are you considering continuing Oracle UPK without support? We have listed why this is a bad idea:

  • There will then be no more security and compliance updates!
  • The software may then not be in line with your company's standards.
  • There will then be no more on-demand support or assistance.
  • There will be performance problems.
  • There will be compatibility problems with new operating systems.
  • Missing content development support features for cloud-based ERP systems will emerge.

If you are a customer of Oracle, you are also affected by the discontinuation. The good news: It is not too late, because you can still act in time. Now you can easily manage the transition from Oracle UPK to datango.

When switching from Oracle UPK, the most important thing is to plan the changeover in good time in order to avoid costly processes. Acting soon saves time and money! Such a large project requires above all a solid foundation, expert knowledge and efficient strategies. Especially at the beginning of a changeover process, companies have to master major challenges. Specialised staff with the appropriate know-how is needed to implement the complex changeover in every phase. Therefore, do not hesitate and let us get started together!
