Nonprofit organizations face a variety of challenges each day that are amplified during economic disruption. These challenges can include liquidity, maintaining revenue streams, retaining paid staff and volunteers, solvency, and most of all, staying in business to continue to serve their causes. Rimini Street independent, third-party support replaces software vendor support, significantly reducing maintenance fees and labor requirements while freeing up valuable resources to help clients stay focused on fulfilling their philanthropic visions.
Nonprofit sector organizations must work diligently to control IT operational costs. Every dollar wasted means a dollar that is not available for activities such as donor engagement or the development of alternate delivery systems for events and programming. Rimini Street nonprofit clients save 50% on annual software support fees and up to 90% on total maintenance costs, redirecting newly available funds to their missions. Rimini Street has helped many nonprofit organizations around the world substantially reduce support costs for Oracle and SAP applications.
ERP systems, databases, and CRM software are core components of everyday nonprofit operations. In uncertain times, the need for technical expertise and digital enablement becomes critical for these organizations. Rimini Street provides engineer-led business software management and support that is always on and available, anytime and anywhere, 24/7/365, including advisory services at no extra charge. Rimini Street clients receive guaranteed SLA response within 10 minutes for critical, Priority 1 issues; interoperability support; and highly personalized service. An unwavering focus on client success has earned Rimini Street an overall 4.8/5.0 client satisfaction rating.
To survive and then thrive, nonprofit organizations are focusing resources on key priorities and in many cases, technologies that can facilitate initiatives such as accelerating agility; improving visibility with the donor base; enabling fast and convenient digital giving, and enhancing data analysis and security. Rimini Street Support Services can help clients craft Business-Driven IT Roadmaps aligned with their business goals, so they no longer have to follow software vendor-dictated roadmaps. Rimini Street third-party application support and enterprise software solutions help maximize the value of current systems, so nonprofit clients can embrace ─ and fund ─ evolving technologies.

“I can’t think of any organization that does not want to save software maintenance support costs. To also get customizations supported is a huge bonus. In this case, it has meant that IT has been able to retain the essential talent it needs in order to build the tools that help its 580,000 students get the education they need.”
Joel Gibbons IT Director

Many PeopleSoft customers share the same concern-they feel they are receiving less new value from Oracle than they did in the past. They may also be caught in an expensive cycle of paying Oracle nearly 22% per year in maintenance fees, essentially repurchasing their existing software license every five years. If this sounds familiar-and inefficient-what if you could: Save 50-90% on total support costs for PeopleSoft software, with exceptional service and responsiveness? Free up IT capacity by securing support for your existing PeopleSoft release (including customizations) up to 15 years, without forced upgrades or continuous updates? Accelerate growth now, improve the speed and quality of IT’s response to business needs; and stop paying for-and waiting for-unknown future software innovations? With Rimini Street independent, third-party support for PeopleSoft software, you can—just as eight featured PeopleSoft customers have as they extended the lives of their ERP investments, freed up IT teams for critical projects, and funded new innovation and growth initiatives.

Users of enterprise applications and databases have seen the amount they spend on yearly maintenance costs rise and the value gained from the original vendor support model fall. For these reasons, a steadily growing number of SAP customers is moving from SAP software support to third-party support. This in-depth ROI analysis of 70 Rimini Street clients can help organizations understand the business case for switching. Nucleus Research, an independent analyst firm, has validated our findings that confirm the significant savings SAP licensees can experience in the following areas: Annual support costs: Break/fix support and tax, legal and regulatory updates Upgrade costs: The cost of forced upgrades just to stay supported when vendor support windows end Customization support costs: The cost of supporting customizations that break, which is not covered as part of the standard vendor support model Self-support costs: The cost of additional resources and headcount required to deal with the extra burden and inefficiency of vendor support, including regression testing and analysis of hundreds of fixes, issue justification and self-service support
