Why Choose Spinnaker Support as Your SAP Sybase Support Partner?
Following SAP’s acquisition of Sybase in 2011, Sybase customers experienced a steady decline in new innovations, product enhancements, and appropriate support resources. SAP’s support has ended for Sybase 15.7 and earlier, with End of Mainstream Maintenance (EoMM) for 16.0 expected in 2025.
