Thanks to Rimini Street, we have cut our high and rising SAP maintenance costs significantly. Our current proactive planning for our ERP future has been made possible thanks to the flexibility and savings that Rimini Street’s independent support has provided for Kumagai Gumi’s IT strategic investments.
You have to understand as a business where you want to go and what it is you want to achieve. In many cases, the business isn’t interested in updating its ERP if it doesn’t have to, because it is such a complex beast that could cause a lot of business disruption for minimal reward. You need to sit down and agree on the basics of what you’re after. Is it connectivity? Automation? AI? Then that’s not necessarily the same thing as updating your ERP. You can keep what you have and get the best of both worlds by keeping the existing and adding new capabilities around the edges. You’re not just looking at it as tech debt but as a platform for innovation. And that’s where having Rimini Street as a strategic partner becomes invaluable.Rimini Street helps reduce wasted effort. By minimising friction and focusing on outcomes, I can channel my resources where they matter most.
"We had complete confidence that our Rimini Street Primary Support Engineer would be able to support our production environment, tax updates and custom code. We weren’t sure about the levels of support and expertise during the upgrade itself — which included migrating to a new server environment — but we were pleasantly surprised. We have very high regard for the Rimini Street engineers who helped us throughout the upgrade process and ensured a smooth transition."
"We looked at other alternatives and found that Rimini Street was the most seasoned, stable and financially sound — and willing to partner and invest in our success."
"Rimini Street is phenomenal — rapid response, unquestioning support of our customizations, and help in areas that go way beyond day-to-day support. Rimini Street has done a great job and we value the stability of our partnership."
"With Rimini Street, our top priorities are their top priorities, too. Due to the outstanding service we’re receiving, we've already logged as many support tickets in two months with Rimini Street as we did in the last two years of SAP support. And all of these tickets have been resolved to our satisfaction."
"Balanced against an existing support agreement costing twice as much and slated to increase by $18–$20,000 a year for the foreseeable future, it was clear Rimini Street was the right path to take."
"Rimini Street keeps our 11-year-old PeopleSoft release running smoothly, perfectly up-to-date and compliant. The savings in annual support fees and upgrade avoidance have been huge for our IT budget."
"The move to Rimini Street for independent enterprise software support provided immediate cost savings along with better service, which is a rare and excellent combination."
"Your basic human resources and financials applications should be able to do the core business functions of a government on any day of the week, and I think you should run with what you’ve got for as long as that allows you to be financially solvent, allows you to be audited and pay your bills and pay your people and report on what is necessary. You should get as much value out of that as you can before you even think of having to upgrade."
"Keeping our SAP system updated with constant hardware and related changes and updates from multiple vendors was always a pain — and expensive. Now, we can easily upgrade the hardware without making any changes to the virtual machine running our ERP processes, so it doesn't limit us."
"Rimini Street has enabled us to redeploy money we were spending on support into more revenue-generating activities. We’re growing our business with the money we've saved."
"We had given up calling Oracle for technical support because it was such an ordeal, but with Rimini Street we don’t have to go through a laundry list of questions that don’t have any application to our problem. Now it’s immediate, helpful and correct."
"I view Rimini Street as an extension of my staff. Sure, they fix our issues. But they’re also there whenever we want to bounce ideas off of them; they consult with us about how we’re doing things. For my team, Rimini Street is an always-available source of industry best practices."
"I’d tell any CIO, CFO or CEO: you owe it to your organization to look at third-party support for your enterprise application systems. To us, it’s a proven fact: Rimini Street offers great savings, along with enhanced support."
