Refocus Manufacturing IT Resources from Support to Innovation
Operational efficiency is critical to every manufacturer. No IT dollar can be wasted. Organizations in the manufacturing industry who have replaced vendor software support with Rimini Street independent, third-party support services and comprehensive support solutions have redirected significant savings to digital transformation programs that drive faster order responsiveness, improved collaboration, better market intelligence, and more effective customer communications.
Revolutionize manufacturing software support services
The manufacturing industry is moving to Industry 4.0 by combining the latest smart technology with traditional manufacturing platforms, making it more important than ever to avoid disruption to mission-critical systems. Rimini Street independent, third-party support for manufacturing software ensures that current robust ERP platforms are stable and reliable for at least 15 years. Each Rimini Street client is led by an assigned Primary Support Engineer with an average of 15 years of experience and in-depth knowledge of the client's unique systems and customizations. Support includes valuable services such as support for custom code and 15-minute SLA for Priority 1 issues, to help ensure maximum system uptime and no waiting for expert support.
Cut application support costs and maintain cash flow
Many Rimini Street clients run lower-margin businesses, and their IT teams are in a daily war against costs. A penny saved per transaction, per process, per minute can result in millions of dollars to the bottom line. Rimini Street enterprise software support services save these clients 50% on annual support fees for manufacturing software and up to 90% on total support costs. Plus, Rimini Street extends the life of current software releases for a guaranteed minimum of 15 additional years without requiring any costly, labor-intensive, and low-value upgrades or migrations. Rimini Street has helped clients save over $7B to date, with application support that enables them to redirect precious resources to innovation and strategic initiatives that enhance competitive advantage and fuel growth.
Refocus resources to help fund digital innovation
Businesses in the manufacturing industry are navigating increased global competition, high labor costs, thin margins, environmental regulation, automation, rapidly changing consumer expectations, and new digital business models. Maintaining the status quo is simply not an option and action is required. Saving valuable time and resources on costly ERP upgrades ─ or on reapplying customizations post-upgrade ─ is key. Rimini Street third-party support for manufacturing software has already helped many of the top global manufacturers achieve significant cost savings and refocus their IT resources on strategic and digital initiatives.
