Ensuring that an ever-expanding, multi-vendor IT environment is running smoothly and in compliance can be challenging and costly. As workloads, data, and processes shift across diverse delivery models (e.g. internally deployed infrastructure, managed services, multiple clouds), keeping track of security, compliance, and support issues can result in less productivity for your business and lower customer satisfaction, both of which can erode revenues. Unified, comprehensive support can help.
Reliability — from a partner that is accountable — is the key ‘must-have’ for IT enterprise systems and applications. This becomes more complex when an enterprise maintains multiple support contracts with different service levels and systems across its applications, support tiers, and technology platforms. The Rimini Street unified, multi-vendor support services model enables clients to begin with support for one application, add more applications over time, and expand as needed into managed services (AMS), and support for applications (such as Salesforce®) within a hybrid environment — all from a single, trusted source of expert support.
Support costs in a multi-vendor environment can add up quickly. Vendor support usually stops at the boundary of the application, creating gaps in coverage and finger-pointing between vendors. Complex hybrid IT landscapes require high-quality, comprehensive support services to analyze root-causes and more rapidly resolve multi-application, interoperability, and integration issues. The Rimini Street unified support model reduces downtime and improves efficiencies by streamlining problem identification and resolution across an IT environment, allowing internal staff to spend less time coordinating with multiple vendors to resolve issues and more time on critical business needs.
Overseeing the enterprise IT estate keeps becoming more complex. Maintaining and managing applications requires deft coordination and streamlined processes. Integrating new technologies with core systems and efficiently managing ERP operations in a multi-vendor environment is a significant challenge. Rimini Street simplifies the experience by providing support and managed services for multiple ERP systems through an integrated model. Receive a single, cost-effective source for keeping the entire IT environment running at peak performance. Problems are resolved before they become failures. Downtime is less frequent, and internal IT staff gains more time to focus on solutions that move the business forward.
Rimini Street solutions replace software vendor support and deliver a superior service experience, leveraging a scalable, global support model to drive business results. IT leaders can reduce and optimize IT support services costs to invest in competitive advantage and growth.
Client delivery and accountability are at the core of the Rimini Street unified support model.

“Because we’ve had, and continue to have, such a positive support experience through Rimini Street for our PeopleSoft HCM software, the decision to add Oracle EBS support was much easier.”
David Jamieson Financial Applications Manager
“After preparing a solid roadmap and clear steps, our transition to Rimini Street was smooth. We now have a primary support engineer, various levels of access by phone or email, and weekly conference calls with the support engineers who are working on any active tickets. Our support quality has vastly improved.”
Jim Williamson Vice President of Information Technology
“Rimini Street is phenomenal — rapid response, unquestioning support of our customizations, and help in areas that go way beyond day-to-day support. Rimini Street has done a great job and we value the stability of our partnership.”
Brian Baggett Director Business Technologies
When organizations consider the amount of their IT budget that is spent on yearly maintenance, many focus primarily on the annual maintenance fees as a large and already-budgeted expense that must be paid without question. But looking deeper at the total price of support, it can become apparent that millions of dollars are often unnecessarily wasted each year due to the outdated support model of software vendors. This executive summary is derived from a Rimini Street impact study that was validated by independent analyst firm Nucleus Research. It confirms the significant savings that a sample of 70 Oracle and SAP licensees have realized by replacing their software vendor support with Rimini Street support.
Rimini Street independent, third-party enterprise software support is different than the support you get from the software vendor. It’s better. It’s more comprehensive, more personal, more responsive.
