Rimini Street maintenance for SAP BusinessObjects supports existing releases and includes strategic advisory services and customizations, interoperability, and configuration support at no extra cost.
The SAP BusinessObjects support model seemingly tends to force IT organizations to update or upgrade when there is no business case to do so, consuming IT resources and delivering little or no new value. Rimini Street independent, third-party support for SAP BusinessObjects supports existing releases for at least 15 years, eliminating the need for a vendor-driven upgrade or update to current SAP BusinessObjects platforms.
Rimini Street software support enables clients to reallocate support savings and resources to drive their unique business priorities, whether to sustain current operations or accelerate new growth. This includes leveraging the latest, industry-leading technologies, beyond the vendor’s roadmap, and the cloud model of choice.

“[W]ithout the right people, you have nothing. In the end, it’s all about the people you have on your team, and we have a great team.
One of the key components to realizing the vision was identifying a services provider that had a great track record of providing quality support and be willing to help take on the challenge of revitalizing MWRD’s environment. Rimini Street was that partner.”
“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
“Rimini Street has helped us to maximize the lifespan of our SAP system and to avoid unnecessarily spending money on upgrades. We’ve been able to redirect those funds into acquisitions and developing new products. We’re now spending money on growing NIBCO, not just keeping the lights on.”
Jeff Miller Director, Business Relationship Management
Now you can drive innovation for SAP by optimizing your current roadmap strategy. Find out how, in an informative thought leadership panel on SAP support services, featuring Constellation Research analyst Ray Wang, T-Mobile’s Senior Director of Product and Technology Erik LaValle, and Rimini Street SAP Support Services Leader Jennifer Perry. If you’re like most companies, your budgets are already stretched to the limit. Meanwhile, CIOs and IT leaders are under unrelenting pressure to drive innovation for SAP and manage the high cost of SAP support services. Not surprisingly, SAP seemingly wants you to follow its roadmap, timeline, and SAP strategy regardless of the impact on your company’s innovation. In this engaging panel discussion, you’ll hear Ray’s views on the state of SAP support services today and the growing challenges facing IT leaders. Plus, Eric will discuss T-Mobile’s practical approach to achieving critical innovations, flexible solutions, and superior customer experiences by leveraging Rimini Street support services for SAP.
Many SAP customers are feeling pressure from SAP to migrate to the early-stage SAP S/4HANA platform due to the planned end of mainstream maintenance date for Business Suite 7 core application releases.* This looming deadline has created a decision point for CIOs as they determine their SAP roadmap and strategy for the next decade and beyond. SAP customers must decide if they will migrate to S/4HANA now, given the planned end-of-support deadline, or gain the flexibility and time to choose a roadmap and a next-generation system that best fits their needs. Rimini Street recently conducted the 2019 SAP Application Survey to better understand how SAP customers are going to manage their application strategy, plans to migrate to S/4HANA and the impact of SAP’s deadline on their roadmap plans. *On February 4, 2020, SAP had announced mainstream support for SAP Business Suite 7 until 2027.
According to Gartner1, “…an array of on-premises customers will move to third-party support as a safe haven while evaluating their long-term plans.”
We don't make ERP or database software like Oracle and SAP. We support and manage that software. Over the past 15 years, we have helped over 3,000 clients save billions of dollars. It's because we are built for support. Built to help clients avoid costly fees and ERP upgrades, so they can innovate and fuel growth. Other companies do software. We do support.
Saving at least 50% on SAP support costs to leverage the investment made in implementing an existing SAP system is an attractive proposition for most IT leaders, especially in today’s economic stress. Third-party support provides this option. In fact, Gartner calls “third-party support a safe haven.”
In this webinar, Deepa Salem, Senior Product Marketing Director from Rimini Street, discuss some key insights from Gartner on how CIOs should respond to the mandatory IT budget cuts and how they can conserve cash while maintaining performance. This includes ideas on how to prioritize and roadmap major IT projects, as well as control IT operating expenses such as support and maintenance costs. We also hear from Eric Robinson, General Manager of SAP Services at Rimini Street and former CIO of Color Spot Nurseries, on his lessons learnt on responding to mandatory IT budget cuts.

This infographic, based on the 2019 SAP Applications survey, examines both paths – and highlights 5 key trends that SAP customers have identified when it comes to and their IT roadmaps. *On February 4, 2020, SAP had announced mainstream support for SAP Business Suite 7 until 2027.
