What customers are saying

“My Oracle Support Community provides a one-stop-shop for implementation or upgrade advice. It accelerates our decision-making processes and helps us build relationships. There is no other place where we can access a comparable source of information. My Oracle Support Community is priceless. It says a lot that Oracle is willing to host these communities and encourage open dialogue.”

Mohan Dutt - Project Manager, Enterprise IT, VeriSign, Inc.

“Any responsible DBA/developer has been trained to go into My Oracle Support Community and My Oracle Support to research the problem first before we talk to anybody. I can get the answer almost 85-90% of the time and I don’t have to open a Service Request to have my problem solved or my question answered…When a database or tool issue develops, My Oracle Support and My Oracle Support Community are the perfect interfaces to find the answers.”

Patrick Housholder - Senior Staff Engineer, United Airlines

What customers are saying…

“… being able to leverage the knowledge and experience of all the Community members. I don’t have a senior DBA around me to bounce Ideas off of… so it’s been a tremendous asset for me to go online, and relatively quickly and easily, post ideas, post issues thatI might have been running into and get really good advice back from both the people who use Oracle and from Oracle itself.

One of the things I love about the new discussions over traditional forums are that they are Oracle moderated. It is such a nice thing to have the Oracle Brain Trust at your finger tips. I can post a question that the other users are not familiar with, but Oracle moderators are there to give me some input, set some ideas straight, and keep ever body on a productive path. It’s a really nice way to get to Oracle without having to talk to just one support engineer.”

Matt Glover, DBA, Sarasota County,Planning and Development Services

“In My Oracle Support Community, I almost feel like a part owner of the Procurement Community. I contribute to conversations and share ideas with other Oracle customers around the world. The whole community isvery well-organized and there is wealth of how-to documents and resources, in addition to the ability to ask specific questions.”

Mike George, Director, Oracle Procurement,Fujitsu America, Inc.
