Oracle also recently announced that the Premier Support end date for UPK 12.1 is now December 2022. With this date pushed out further past the original April 2019 end date, it’s still important for organizations to ask pertinent questions, such as the following:
- Do you currently use UPK, and if so, which play modes and outputs do you utilize?
- Do you use the UPK In-Application support feature?
- Do you use the UPK Knowledge Center?
- Do you have an LMS solution deployed?
- Does your organization use any other authoring solution?
- What applications does your organization use?
- What future organizational initiatives, such as upgrades or new team onboarding, might necessitate training?
