Discontinuation of Oracle database support in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

Microsoft is committed to support the database system that scales to meet customer needs and helps lower the total cost of ownership over time. Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 R2 delivers several breakthrough capabilities that will enable organizations to scale database operations with confidence and improve IT and developer efficiency, as well as enable highly scalable and well-managed business intelligence on a self-service basis for users. Today our customers are selecting Microsoft SQL Server as their database system.


Below are a number of benefits that customers can get by switching from an Oracle to a SQL Server database:
 
Business value


Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 is a complete set of enterprise-ready technologies and tools that help people derive the most value from information at the lowest total-cost-of-ownership. Enjoy high levels of performance, availability, and security; employ more productive management and development tools; and deliver pervasive insight with self-service business intelligence (BI).

Lower the total cost of ownership (TCO)

SQL Server 2008 has a simple tiered SKU licensing model helping provide lower TCO over time, while Oracle 11g requires additional licensing costs for a multiple array of options and add-ins, on top of already high maintenance and support costs. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 provides a data platform with many advantages and business benefits including better security, performance and scalability, developer productivity, and Business Intelligence tools (BI) – all at a lower total cost of ownership.
 
Business Intelligence


Microsoft SQL Server 2008 provides a scalable Business Intelligence platform optimized for data integration, reporting, and analysis, enabling organizations to deliver intelligence where users want it. Microsoft Dynamics AX utilizes the Microsoft Business Intelligence (BI) Platform that comprises offerings from Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Office to empower people with self-service
 
Business intelligence to deliver the right BI tools for the entire organization. Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 will utilize additional, more powerful features of Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services to enable visually richer, more interactive and more flexible reporting and will use Reporting Services as the primary reporting engine. Microsoft SQL Server enables Business Intelligence for everyone in your company by enabling self-service access to data for analysis and team collaboration using familiar Microsoft Office and SharePoint user tools. The seamless interoperability of SQL Server 2008 with Microsoft Office SharePoint® Server and Microsoft Office adds a tremendous productivity gain for your users.


Security

Advanced security features, such as encryption, transparent auditing, and centralized key management, are among industry-leading features and included in SQL Server 2008 Enterprise, while Oracle charges extra for security add-ons.
