Rimini Street Releases Free Savings Calculators for Oracle and SAP Software that Can Help Identify Hidden Savings Opportunities in Minutes

MANILA, PHILIPPINES  – Rimini Street, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMNI), a global provider of end-to-end enterprise software support, products and services, the leading third-party support provider for Oracle and SAP software, and a Salesforce and AWS partner, today announced two free, online tools that work in minutes to help Oracle and SAP clients identify and unlock significant potential savings from their existing ERP investments: Rimini Street Savings Calculator for Oracle and Rimini Street Savings Calculator for SAP. Clients who choose Rimini Street have saved more than $7 billion to date, at the same time receiving more responsive and higher quality software support and a partnership that furthers their operational success. 

Value of Oracle and SAP Vendor Maintenance Fees Diminishes Over Time

Oracle’s and SAP’s profit margin on their annual software support is typically more than 90%, meaning that the software vendors may spend less than 10% of their client’s annual fees on providing service. This can lead to significant gaps against service needs, such as support for custom configurations and customized code (“add ons”) which are common amongst many Oracle and SAP licensees. 

After some number of years, both Oracle and SAP arbitrarily downgrade the scope of services available for a particular release level - yet are known to continue charging the same fee (or more) than when full support was available for the release and push for upgrades and migrations to their newest product releases that may not benefit a particular client.

For those who elect to follow the vendor-dictated roadmap, the total cost of ownership of the ERP system usually only increases, whether choosing to upgrade or maintain operations on their current release. 

Rimini Street Solutions Provide Higher Value

Rimini Street provides an annual support solution to help its Oracle and SAP clients reverse this expensive, systemic challenge by offering an immediate 50% savings on annual support fees and these other key benefits: 

• Named, dedicated primary support engineer with an average of 20 years of experience backed by hundreds of engineering talent around the world

• Guaranteed 10-minute response to priority cases, with an average of less than two minutes, to address and resolve issues faster, 24/7/365

• Support for customizations at the same level as vendor-delivered code 

• Guaranteed 15 additional years of support from time of contracting to extract maximum value of existing ERP release

• Risk avoidance related to system upgrade and migration challenges  

Rimini Street Empowers Clients with $7B Savings and Strategic Project Funding

“Industry analysts estimate most companies spend around 90% of their IT budget on daily operating expenses, leaving only 10% for investment in innovation. Rimini Street can help significantly reduce that 90% to 60% with its service solutions, enabling clients to refocus more money, staff and time towards strategic initiatives and projects,” said Seth A. Ravin, CEO, president and chairman, Rimini Street, Inc.

Select Rimini Street client examples include:

HCX Technology Partners, a Philippines-based digital business solutions provider that manages 60,000 perpetual Oracle PeopleSoft licenses for its clients, utilized Rimini Street to help “reduce the number of people providing production support and refocused them on strategic and development projects,” said Crisela de Jesus, department head, HCM and CRM solutions at HCX Technology Partners. 

NIBCO, a leading manufacturer of flow-control solutions with a rich history spanning back to 1904, found that the savings achieved by selecting Rimini Street for its SAP support maintenance has helped to “maximize the lifespan of our SAP system and to avoid unnecessarily spending money on upgrades,” said Jeff Miller, director, business relationship management at NIBCO. “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.” 

“We invite all companies using Oracle and SAP to take just a few minutes to leverage our Savings Calculators,” said David Rowe, chief product officer and executive vice president, global transformation at Rimini Street. “Most organizations are delighted to learn the savings from a switch to Rimini Street is much more than the 50% savings in annual support fees, but can also include savings from the avoidance of forced upgrades just to retain full support, support for customizations at no additional charge, and more efficient support processes. The discovery will be eye-opening and highly opportunistic for your business.“

2023 NATIONAL FOOD FAIR HIGHLIGHTS INNOVATIONS AND GLOBAL FOOD TRENDS

The theme “Go Discover, Taste, Enjoy!” for the upcoming 2023 National Food Fair truly embodies this much-awaited event, as it highlights the fusion of science and tradition in bringing innovations into the Philippine food industry. Organized by the Department of Trade and Industry – Bureau of Domestic Trade Promotion (DTI-BDTP) in partnership with the DTI-Regional Operations Group (DTI-ROG), the 2023 National Food Fair will be held from July 12-16, at Megatrade Halls 1-3, SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City.

Grounded on landmark research at state colleges and universities, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Science and Technology, the event will introduce trailblazing products generated by biotechnology as well as production techniques that have the potential to disrupt the food value chain. These will be showcased in the Philippine Food Industry Innovation Lounge as well as in the exhibits of the Innovative and Biotech Products Cluster.

The Philippines is among the world’s top coconut producers, and the 2023 National Food Fair will continue to showcase this wealth-generating product through the Philippine Coconut Industry Pavilion and Coconut-based MSME Cluster. As part of the promotional activities, a series of “Cooking with Coconut” short videos will be released on BDTP’s social media accounts ahead of the event.

Meanwhile, the Rural Agro-Industrial Partnership for Inclusive Development and Growth (RAPID Growth) Project, one of the DTI projects to be featured at the NFF aims to provide economic and sustainable development by helping smallholder farmers and stakeholders increase their income and generate employment through the value chain approach for selected products such as cacao, coffee, coconut and processed fruits and nuts.

During the five-day event, there will be a daily program of activities consisting of entrepreneurship talks, live cooking demonstrations by Chefs Claude Tayag, Boy Logro, Tatung Sarthou, Jam Melchor and Laudico Guevarra, wine-mixing tutorials, and presentations on various food and business-related topics. This is open to the public and free of charge. The daily program will also be livestreamed on BDTP social media channels for remote viewers.

“The 2023 National Food Fair is a physical show with an online counterpart on Lazada with featured exhibitors making their products available to all serviceable areas nationwide” said BDTP Director Marievic Bonoan.
