Moving IT from a Cost Center to a Strategic Partner
Business leaders are placing increasingly greater demands on IT to support strategic priorities such as digital transformation and new business models. Delivering technology innovation for the business can carry a hefty price tag both in terms of funding and resources. Free up people, time, and money for digital transformation projects that create competitive advantage and drive growth.
Shift spending from maintenance to strategic growth initiatives
“Keeping the lights on” is no longer enough but doing so can consume as much as 90% of IT budgets. It’s not surprising that capital for innovation is seemingly always scarce. Short of securing new budget, which is a challenge for most IT organizations, IT leaders must juggle resources to fund strategic technology initiatives that will move the business forward. Switching to Rimini Street can save an immediate 50% on annual support fees and up to 90% on total support for ERP and database software. Making the switch means IT is free from the burden of software vendor support costs and can direct liberated funds and resources toward revenue-generating strategic growth initiatives for the enterprise.
Avoid expensive ERP refresh projects to help fund strategic IT initiatives
Defer or eliminate expensive, disruptive, and minimal-value upgrades and migrations. Rimini Street enables CIOs to take control of their IT journeys by moving from software vendor-dictated roadmaps to a Business-Driven Roadmap approach designed around their business objectives, not around the enterprise software vendor’s objectives. A Business-Driven Roadmap mindset shifts the power away from the vendor, giving enterprises the flexibility, funding, and freedom to focus on strategic initiatives that support growth and create competitive advantage for the organization.
Accelerate innovation to deliver business value more quickly
Optimize current systems and resources to shift IT focus to needed business projects that deliver competitive advantage and growth. Unnecessary updates and migrations consume vital resources and delay needed innovation for years. Instead, leverage a hybrid IT strategy that accelerates business value by combining current robust systems with high-impact cloud and other technologies for a solid foundation that delivers on needed digital transformation programs.
