Why Oracle Agile Customers Move to Arena

Introduction

As Oracle Agile PLM approaches end of life, product companies face a pivotal decision: remain tethered to a legacy on-premises system or embrace a modern, cloud-native solution. Arena by PTC offers a proven path forward—one that eliminates infrastructure burdens, enhances collaboration, and accelerates product development.

What End of Life Means for Oracle Agile PLM Users

Oracle has officially announced that Premier Support for Agile PLM will end on December 31, 2027. After this date, the platform will no longer receive critical bug fixes or new security patches. As Oracle shifts its focus and Agile PLM subject matter experts become less available, organizations relying on this legacy system may face increased exposure to cybersecurity threats and compliance violations—especially as auditors might view continued use as a breach of standards.

Given these risks, now is the ideal time for companies to begin planning their migration to a modern, cloud-native PLM solution like Arena.
