Spinnaker Support Delivers Global Double-Digit Growth Fueled by Enterprise Scrutiny of Traditional Vendor Relationships
Notable recent client wins include BT (Oracle), Telefónica Germany (Oracle/VMware), Madrileña Gas (SAP), Specsavers (Oracle), and Bombardier Recreational Products (SAP). Spinnaker's key verticals include manufacturing, utilities, telecommunications, financial services, and banking.
Spinnaker's Oracle support reaches new heights
Spinnaker's Oracle support continues to grow globally. In March 2025, Spinnaker announced it will be providing support for major telco BT Group's on-premise Oracle applications in use across the Group's technology estate. The engagement spans a wide range of critical Oracle applications and sees Spinnaker providing escalated support on key databases and applications within BT Group.
In addition, Spinnaker has also signed Specsavers and Telefónica Germany for multi-year support contracts.
Alternative option for SAP customers being pushed towards RISE
On the SAP side of its business, Spinnaker provides organizations with an alternative support option as SAP continues to push customers towards RISE.
In February 2025, Spinnaker announced that BRP, a global leader in the world of powersports products, propulsion systems and boats, has selected Spinnaker to provide third-party software support across its SAP applications and technologies. The five-year deal with Spinnaker gives BRP dedicated third-party software support to ensure that SAP Applications and Tech with Global Tax & Regulatory Compliance are maintained across the company's operations in 22 countries.
In EMEA, Madrileña Red de Gas, one of Spain's key utility companies, has freed up investment for innovation projects across the organization by outsourcing its entire SAP maintenance support to Spinnaker. With a desire to maintain its current SAP environment but with SAP maintenance costs rising.
The last 12 months has also seen Spinnaker expand its service offering in a number of ways:
Spinnaker launched its VMware support offering after listening to customer concerns following Broadcom's VMware acquisition
In July 2024, Spinnaker launched its VMware support option, in response to market demand for innovative, up-to-date and flexible support offerings. Interest remains high as VMware customers reject being forced to switch from a perpetual license model to a costly subscription alternative. Advantages of switching to Spinnaker's VMware offering include the avoidance of forced subscription models, maintaining security and compliance requirements.
In less than 12 months, Spinnaker's new VMware division has contracted multiple new customers including Telefónica Germany, Quebec Airport and Specsavers.
Spinnaker Cloud Managed Services launched: empowering organizations to modernize on their own terms
In March 2025, Spinnaker launched Spinnaker Cloud Managed Services - a new offering that allows an organization to actualize its cloud strategy without having to move away from the legacy system(s) their business is built upon. Spinnaker Cloud Managed Services supports Oracle and SAP, environments across both legacy and cloud platforms, delivering a high-touch service with expert management.
Partnerships: Channel vendors embrace Spinnaker's offering
As Oracle, SAP and VMware customers are being unwillingly pushed to the cloud and/or subscriptions, many large consultancy, global software and licensing companies are including Spinnaker Third-Party Software Support to enhance their offerings. Spinnaker's services add a unique extra dimension to our partners' offerings, strengthening their competitive advantage which, in turn, enables their customers to take control of their digital future.
Security: As security and audit compliance continue to lead to CIO concerns, Spinnaker Shield's holistic approach ensures stability.
As the digital world is increasingly under attack from cyber threats, this is causing companies to close ranks and keep their data on-premise, or at the very least hosted in their home country. This is at odds with the major software vendors driving applications onto their cloud platforms. Spinnaker can keep its customers' data secure and optimized on-site and avoid risky migrations and unknown threats.
Matt Stava, CEO of Spinnaker Support said: 'The market for third-party software support is growing fast and so is Spinnaker Support. We have seen global brands make the jump and entrust Spinnaker Support with their on-going software support needs. Our personal, consultative and experienced global experts give enterprises the ability and time to move at their own pace, not that of the software vendors support offerings, while realizing significant cost benefits as they decide on their future digital strategies.'
Spinnaker offers 'The Ultimate Support Guarantee', an industry-first agreement designed to mitigate any perceived risks associated with switching away from Oracle, SAP or VMware support.

The Next Tech Supercycle Is Shaping The Future Of Financial Services
Some questions are always the same; it's the answers that change, as our understanding evolves when new knowledge and perspectives emerge. One such question is about the future of AI. The reference to Albert Einstein's famous quip on why some questions are timeless served as the opening statement at the recent SAP and SAP Fioneer Forum for Financial Services event presented by TAC Insights in Munich. It was meant to remind the audience of financial experts that AI is shaking up the world as they know it. The importance of continuous learning and adapting to new information, rather than relying heavily on past knowledge, has never been more important. 'At SAP, we see AI as the defining force of the next technology supercycle – one that will deeply transform how enterprises operate,' said Dominik Asam, CFO and member of the Executive Board, SAP SE, during his opening keynote. 'AI is a must-win area for SAP,' he emphasized. 'The transition to AI will determine success in enterprise tech, and the cloud is a prerequisite for AI to work at scale.' Asam noted that this AI wave is bigger than any previous supercycles such as mainframes, the internet, and cloud computing. AI isn't just a product – it's a platform technology, underpinning and enhancing other innovations, including automation, robotics, analytics, personalized customer experiences and autonomous systems Asam explained SAP's strategy to put AI first, integrating AI into every business process, transforming how people work and enhancing the productivity, profitability, and growth ambitions of its customers. This involves hundreds of AI features and agents embedded directly into SAP solutions, covering areas from supply chain management to customer experience. SAP's AI copilot Joule serves as the new user interface in the age of AI – embedded everywhere, from the SAP Business Suite to mobile devices and even integrated with third-party assistants. Asam sees financial services as one of the sectors most impacted by AI, and SAP is aligning its solutions accordingly. That's because financial services demand accuracy and auditability. AI must improve, not compromise, control functions. AI is already being used to detect anomalies in real time, automate reconciliation and reporting, and reduce compliance risk and audit failures. "In finance, you can't afford hallucinations. AI must beat the assurance level of a human," said SAP's CFO, highlighting AI's role in strengthening, not replacing, human oversight. However, Generative AI is only as strong as the data that powers it. One issue some financial institutions face is that their HR, finance, risk, and customer data are all housed in separate silos. SAP offers a seamless integration of applications, data, and AI in one ecosystem. With Business AI, financial institutions can enhance forecasting and planning. Now, for example, banks can use HR data such as attrition and recruiting to refine cost forecasts, and automate bottom-up budget models instead of relying on subjective, top-down estimates. This leads to faster and more objective forecasting. Joule for finance When it comes to Business AI for finance and spend management, it's all about efficiency. AI-copilot Joule partners with SAP Document and Reporting Compliance to translate complex e-invoicing errors into natural language. This way, error misunderstandings will be a thing of the past. Joule enhancements in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition will increase efficiency with proactive sales order fulfillment monitoring, direct fixed asset master data creation, and price adjustment suggestions. And for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, Joule helps users with field logistics, cash management, contract analysis, and streamlines convergent invoicing processes. The first Joule agents are now available in spend management. 'Regardless of the use case, we are placing special focus on trust, explainability, and control,' said Asam. Last fall, SAP updated its Global AI Ethics Policy to ground it in the human-rights centered approach of the UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence. 'We do this to deliver Business AI that drives relevant outcomes, activates reliable insights, and scales responsibly.' The bottom line SAP sees this supercycle as a chance to rewire the enterprise for agility, accuracy, and control. Financial services organizations that embrace AI with the right governance and integration strategy will: 'This is not optional – we work every day, day in and day out, to make sure businesses benefit from this tremendous opportunity,' Asam underlined. For SAP and its financial services clients, AI is a now-or-never moment. Many SAP customers in the financial service industry are heeding the call. During his keynote at the same event, Stephan Paxmann, Chief Innovation Officer, Landesbank Baden-Württemberg (LBBW), corroborated Asam's view that AI is a now-or-never-moment. 'AI in fintech is already pervasively integrated, quietly reshaping our lives,' said Paxmann, expanding on the topic in a recent article on SAP BrandVoice. 'It's transforming financial services, not with sudden disruption, but through a gradual, pragmatic shift that empowers people, augments human tasks, and requires thoughtful, responsible integration—especially around data, usability, and trust.' In closing, both financial experts agree that AI is not just another tech trend – it's a tectonic shift. Those who understand and adapt early will be best positioned to ride the wave.
