Rimini Street Announces Rimini Support™ for SAP Industry Solutions
The expansion of Rimini Support™ for SAP products now includes SAP Industry Solutions.
Licensees running SAP Industry Solutions with ECC may be required to replace or re-implement industry-specific modules and capabilities, as many equivalent industry capabilities are not the same, or will not be available on S/4HANA. In some cases, SAP offers a completely different solution that may be based on SAP products or partner-provided products.
“Many companies have invested heavily in customizing SAP Industry Solutions to their specific business requirements, and now rely on them to run mission-critical core business processes. But they also do not want to take on the cost and the risk of replacing and re-implementing them just to stay fully supported, if equivalent functionality is even available,” said Luiz Mariotto, group vice president and principal product manager of SAP at Rimini Street.

Ravin, president, CEO and chairman of the board, Rimini Street. “We are pleased to now offer these expanded services to serve the market’s needs and desire for a better, more responsive application managed service that covers even more of their system portfolio.”
