We turned to independent support to help reduce costs and improve service. With a virtual patching strategy recommended by Rimini Street Global Security Services, we found we could also significantly boost database security and reduce overall risk.”
– Ron Traub Senior Operations Manager
Once executive management saw the savings we were able to generate, they approved many projects that were previously on hold because of budgetary constraints.
Don’t get stuck with the status quo: Don’t close your eyes or fear making a change. Exploring the unknown led us to Rimini Street, and the whole company has benefited.”
The Rimini Street team helped show us a path to freeing up capital so we could enhance our existing platform’s functionality and performance instead of executing costly and large-scale upgrades. When I delivered the recommendation to our senior leadership team, and, more importantly, to the owners of the company, they were very appreciative of the savings we were able to produce from this move.”
– Rick Jankura Chief Financial Officer
