Organizational roles
Rimini Street is focused on helping clients extract more value from enterprise software investments to drive competitive advantage and growth. Learn more about how Rimini Street is helping organizations deliver on business goals and specific objectives across the C-suite, finance, IT, and procurement.
Solutions for CEOs and C-suite executives
Growth is a high priority for the entire C-suite. Finding new ways to grow and compete, from new products or services, to new business models, and improving customer experience, are crucial focus areas. Success requires executives to take a Business-Driven approach, versus letting software vendors influence IT investment priorities. Blindly refreshing ERP systems can result in spending limited IT budgets on costly, risky, and unnecessary projects, often without any clear ROI or business value.
Working with Rimini Street, executive teams can often defer ERP upgrades and migrations and instead focus on executing their business plan and following their own Business-Driven IT roadmap to achieve their strategic, operational, and financial objectives.
Solutions for CFOs and finance leaders
CFOs have long been the creators of cost structures and keepers of the checkbook, but the task of controlling costs has become increasingly complicated. Funding strategic priorities is even more difficult. Rising costs continue to outpace revenue for many companies, making it a challenge to sustain growth and profitability. IT budgets are often strained with pressures to “keep the lights on” maintaining existing systems, leaving little budget to invest in growth initiatives and digital transformation.
Rimini Street helps relieve some of this pressure. To date, clients saved nearly $5 billion on enterprise software maintenance costs, enabling them to invest in strategic projects.
Solutions for CIOs and IT leaders
The majority of annual IT budgets go toward ongoing operations and enhancements, with a small percentage available for needed modernization and transformation initiatives that can drive competitive advantage and growth. ERP and database maintenance costs are typically a large, recurring line item in the average IT budget. A growing number of CIOs and IT leaders are exploring third-party support and managed IT support services as proven alternatives to traditional, costly vendor support.
To date, Rimini Street has helped SAP and Oracle clients save nearly $5B, enabling them to better focus resources on innovation and strategic initiatives that enhance competitive advantage and fuel growth.
Solutions for procurement leaders
Locking the right partners in at the right time and at the right cost and funding the IT digital transformation journey are priorities for many procurement executives today.
Rimini Street works with IT procurement services teams to replace software vendor support for enterprise applications and databases, delivering significant annual cost savings and providing the flexibility to upgrade or migrate to a new platform only when there is clear business value and ROI to do so.

Business priorities are changing to growth and innovation.

For years, IT has had clearly defined responsibilities: Keep critical business systems up and running, control costs and meet security and compliance requirements.

For many organizations, VMware is no longer just a software discussion. It directly influences hardware strategy, often forcing decisions that are faster, more expensive and less flexible than they should be. Much of the attention has focused on Broadcom’s shift to subscription-based licensing and per-core pricing. But there’s another dynamic adding pressure that’s just as […]
