The deadline for EBS 12.1 premier support is December 2021. After that date, Oracle will only provide “Sustaining Support”, which offers limited maintenance and no access to new patches, fixes, or updates. This upgrade can be complex and represent a significant part of your IT time and budget as it is EBS’s most technically complex to date. Such a transition is usually a 6 to 9-month project and can represent a very tall order if you factor in that your production work must continue while the deadline for the upgrade approaches. If your organization is now moving to version R12.2, we can help you simplify and accelerate the process of bringing your EBS Extensions and Customizations into EBS R12.2, thanks to Oracle APEX.
