Expanding Section: Implications of the Slow or Stunted Migration

The evidence is that a minority of customers have shown any interest in migrating to Oracle 12c, even though it was released in 2013. It also means that each successive release of the Oracle database is less capable of migrating the customers on the previous versions to the latest versions of the database.

This puts Oracle in the position of discussing features of its database at conferences and in the IT media that their installed base largely does not see.

This has several important implications. They are as follows:

  • The usage of open source databases
  • The Oracle support question

We will cover each of these topics in detail further on in this research.
