Spinnaker Support (Spinnaker), the third-party software support leader entrusted by over 1,000 global clients, has been recognized as a Representative Vendor in the 2023 Gartner Market Guide for Independent Third-Party Software Support (TPSS) for Megavendors for the second consecutive year.

Gartner defines independent TPSS for IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and SAP software as a lower-cost alternative to the maintenance, support and consulting service fees charged by these four megavendors.

Gartner added, “The average annual savings is typically 50% when comparing TPSS services costs against the annual maintenance and support pricing models and policies of IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and SAP.”

The report further states, “Software is the second-highest IT spend category, which drives sourcing, procurement, and vendor management leaders to analyze cost-saving opportunities from independent third-party support providers.”

Matt Stava, CEO, Spinnaker Support said: “We are proud that Spinnaker’s third-party software support offering has been recognized by Gartner in the 2023 Market Guide for Independent Third-Party Software Support for Megavendors. Our team of experts provides third-party support to optimize the software ecosystems of enterprises globally and enable them to free up capital and resources to drive forward digital transformation projects and AI-led innovation.”

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 17:00:00 EEST | Press release

According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) latest report, Accelerate Your AI Voyage, most enterprises are struggling to turn growing AI adoption and investment into measurable business impact. One of the key factors holding businesses back is low artificial intelligence quotient (AIQ) — Forrester’s measure of AI aptitude — with many employees lacking a clear understanding of how to use AI. Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable. To unlock AI’s full potential, organizations need to focus on four key areas: Define the business outcomes and success metrics for what they want AI to achieve; identify specific use cases for AI deployment aligned to those business outcomes; establish a structured runway to plan, test, and strategically time the deployment
