Spinnaker Support has expanded into PostgreSQL with two new service lines aimed at enterprises looking to reduce their reliance on Oracle databases. The first, Enterprise Software Support for PostgreSQL, provides 24x7 coverage—troubleshooting, security guidance, configuration, and lifecycle management—across on-premises, virtualized, containerized, and cloud environments. The second, Assessment and Migration Services for PostgreSQL, evaluates existing Oracle workloads and dependencies before migration, using HexaCluster technology to handle conversion and validate production readiness.
Rather than pushing a wholesale rip-and-replace, Spinnaker is positioning the move as a workload-by-workload transition: organizations can keep running suitable Oracle systems while selectively shifting individual databases to Postgres as they become ready. "Organizations want greater flexibility as they modernize their database environments, but they should not have to sacrifice enterprise-grade assurance or trade one proprietary dependency for another," said Matt Stava, CEO of Spinnaker Support. Martin Biggs, VP/GM of the company's PostgreSQL practice, added that in conversations with some of the world's largest Oracle users, the recurring theme is a desire for "the freedom, control, and modernization potential of Postgres," paired with a partner who can help them move responsibly.
Why it matters for Metasoftec clients
The underlying database is often the part of an ERP modernization project that gets the least attention until it becomes a blocker—licensing costs climb, vendor lock-in tightens, and legacy dependencies make every future upgrade harder. This announcement is a reminder that database strategy and ERP strategy are increasingly the same conversation. For businesses running Odoo, the good news is that the platform is already built on PostgreSQL, so there is no parallel migration debt to manage: choosing Odoo also means choosing an open, well-supported database foundation from day one. For organizations still weighing a move off legacy or Oracle-backed systems, Metasoftec's approach mirrors the workload-by-workload philosophy described here—careful business analysis and gap assessment before touching a single record, phased data migration, and configuration that fits how the business actually operates, whether that is finance, inventory, manufacturing, or point of sale. The result is an ERP and database foundation that scales with the business instead of constraining it.
