Empowering Government Agencies to Better Respond to Citizen Needs
Public sector and government agencies have struggled with limited budgets and optimizing responses to citizen needs. Newer challenges like cybersecurity risks and rapidly changing taxpayer expectations signal that maintaining the status quo is not an option. Rimini Street independent, third-party support services and comprehensive support solutions help state and local governments maximize the value of current ERP systems, freeing up funds and personnel for digital transformation.
Improve citizen response by optimizing government software budgets
Government agencies scrutinize every taxpayer dollar spent, and recognize that optimizing costs is critically important. Significant savings on large IT expenditures such as enterprise software maintenance can translate into millions of dollars becoming available for new digital, compliance, and security initiatives to address evolving citizen needs. Rimini Street clients save 50% on annual software support fees and up to 90% on total support costs. To date they have saved over $7B.
Modernize governmental core systems for maximum public and economic impact
Citizens want to interact with government digitally, at a time and place that’s convenient for them. The rapid evolution of technology is requiring government agencies to investigate how they can modernize public service. Implementing hybrid IT by "innovating around the edges" of core enterprise software systems with new cloud and digital technologies is one popular strategy that pragmatically speeds innovation and maximizes the value of prior investments. Rimini Street government clients enjoy the best of both worlds: the peace of mind of cost-effective, stable core platforms plus the ability to use savings from Rimini Street independent, third-party support to help fund and deploy newer technologies such as mobile, big data, analytics, social, and cloud components in a hybrid landscape.
Fund a government agency journey to the cloud
Emerging technologies such as AI, blockchain, and the cloud are becoming increasingly integral to government business and public interaction. Government organizations that want to transform to cloud/SaaS models face two critical roadblocks: funding and financing. Rimini Street enterprise software solutions can help free up funds and resources to enable a cloud journey for greater preparedness and agility in delivering critical public services.
