Oracle Waives Extended Support Fees for One Year

Oracle revealed that first year Extended Support fees will be waived for Oracle E-Business Suite 11i Release 10 (waived through November 2011).

One of the key reasons for upgrading to R12 by November next year (2010) is to avoid the addition of 10% on the support charge as the product goes into extended support. Oracle have just announced (May 4^th) that while 11.5.10 will go into extended support in November 2010, it won’t cost any more than normal (”premier”) support.

It sounds to me that, if you don’t need the extra functionality of R12, then there’s no hurry to upgrade.
