Traditional low-cost AMS models can come with lower-skilled resources, scope creep, and too many hand-offs that make it difficult to keep incident levels manageable. Rimini Street makes it simple, with an SAP AMS catalog focused on incident resolution — so clients get consistent ticket ownership and accountability, with fewer escalations.
Lack of software knowledge or too much time spent managing incidents rather than closing them are outcomes from some low-cost AMS vendors. This makes it nearly impossible to deliver process improvements. Instead, Rimini Street is a single vendor for AMS and ERP software support – with always-on expert engineers reducing overhead and project backlogs.
Incident resolution does not have to be time-consuming or escalated through multiple service levels. Rimini Street engineers know how SAP software is designed to work, to improve service with faster resolution. With a combined Level 2-4 support tier model, Rimini Street experts resolve issues efficiently, including root causes, and help keep systems running longer.
Consolidate and simplify application management services for SAP and traditional software support. Rimini Street's integrated support model provides direct access to expert engineers to deliver a superior support experience for SAP products. Drive better business outcomes with improved service levels and faster resolutions.
