Statement of Direction

Oracle has been evaluating its strategic direction and has determined that we will no longer be providing Oracle Content Management Cloud Services, and are therefore announcing the end of life of our Oracle Content Management Cloud Services offerings.

This notice is to inform your company that the below listed Oracle Content Management Cloud Services offerings have been assigned “End of Life” status and the last date of service for these Cloud Services will be December 31, 2025 (the “last date of service”).

NOTE: Starting May 1st 2025 – all OCM PSM based instances will be shutdown and If you wish to continue using your OCE PSM Based Cloud Service thru the EOL service Date of Dec 31, 2025 you must undergo a migration of your OCE PSM Based instance to an OCI Native hosted environment. The OCM support team will perform this migration free of charge. To request this migration please open an OCE Support SR and request an “OCE PSM EOL Migration”. This note only applies to OCE Instances using the Universal Credit sku’s B89969, B89970 & B89971 and is referred to as OCE running on a built on OCI / PSM based environment. Please Note that if even if your instance is migrated your OCE instance will still be terminated on the final EOL service date of Dec 31, 2025.  Please see: How to Move your PSM-based OCE instance to OCI Gen 2 (Doc ID 3021375.1) for instructions on how to start this process.

Please ensure that all appropriate contacts in your company are made aware of this notice.

If your current contracted Services Period for any of the Oracle Content Management Cloud Services offerings listed below extends beyond the last date of service, we will amend both your Services Period under your order for the Oracle Content Management Cloud Services and the related invoicing to end on the last date of service (i.e., December 31, 2025).   

Oracle does not have an Oracle-managed replacement cloud service for Oracle Content Management Cloud Services to offer you. However, as an alternative Oracle does continue to offer the Oracle WebCenter product family. Please see the Q&A section on WebCenter at the bottom of this FAQ for more information.

Thank you for being a valued customer.

Additionally following vendor options are available to help your journey to WebCenter on OCI (BYOL / License included):

1. Oracle WebCenter Team has built tools that can be used to migrate OCM Documents and assets into Oracle WebCenter Content on OCI as described in KM Note Doc ID 3030188.1. This would be useful for customers who are using OCM in a Document Management capacity. For customers using OCM as a Site building and Site Delivery capability, KM Note Doc ID 3033752.1 can be a reference used to migrate complete Sites from OCM into WebCenter Sites.
2. Oracle CSS team provides Managed services and with it can also migrate the data or content to WebCenter on OCI.
3. Oracle Cloud Sales along with internal Lift team provides onboarding and set up assistance to get you started quickly
4. Oracle Partners with years of expertise in WebCenter technologies can be very helpful as well.

The WebCenter Content BYOL image is available now for download and free to use for 30 days for evaluation (note: the customer will still be charged for any required OCI resources to host the BYOL image).
