William A. Green Oracle EBS Financials

Oracle stopped patching your system. I didn't stop fixing it.

Oracle EBS 12.1 moved to Sustaining Support on January 1, 2022 — no Critical Patch Updates, no security fixes, no tax or regulatory content, no new bug fixes. Your problems didn't stop when the patches did.

I write the fix.

What I do

Three things, done deeply

Fix development for unsupported systems

When Oracle won't issue a patch, I write one. Data corrections, custom fixes, tax and regulatory updates, and remediation across GL, AP, AR, Internet Expenses, Internet Procurement, PO, Fixed Assets, Cash Management and Inventory on 12.1 and 12.2. This is the work I did for six years at Rimini Street for Fortune 500 clients running versions Oracle had stopped supporting.

How a data fix actually works →

Named-specialist support

Troubleshooting, configuration, performance tuning, integration failures, and month-end close problems. You send the issue, I diagnose it and deliver the fix. Scheduled intake, defined turnaround, one named person — not a ticket queue and not whoever is on the bench this week.

Configuration documentation

Runbooks describing what your system actually does, produced as a by-product of the work rather than sold to you as a separate project.

Who this is for

You'll recognize yourself

  • You're running 12.1 and Oracle no longer patches it
  • You're running 12.2 and staying — Oracle extended Premier Support to at least December 2037
  • One person in your building understands your AP, PO and Fixed Assets configuration
  • Your systems integrator keeps quoting a Fusion migration you haven't funded and don't want
What I'm not

I'm not going to migrate you to Fusion. I'm not selling a support contract to replace Oracle's. I'm not sending you a generalist from a bench.

I fix the system you already have — the one Oracle isn't going to fix.

Describe the problem. I'll tell you whether I can fix it.

No discovery call, no discovery deck. Send me what's breaking and I'll tell you what it is, what it takes, and roughly what it costs — or that it isn't my kind of problem.
