Emphasis on Business Transformation Drives Demand for Cost Optimization Solutions
In a recent CIO survey conducted by Harvey Nash and KPMG across 82 countries worldwide, the biggest change in priority focus for CIOs was around customer engagement.2 Increasingly, CIOs are being challenged to push outside their operational boundaries to focus on business transformation and strategy. In addition, the CEO’s priorities are shifting, with 63% preferring that their CIOs focus on IT projects that make the business money rather than save money.3 However, this is a double-edged sword – with budgets largely remaining flat or decreasing, CIOs struggle to find extra IT budget to fund these key initiatives. By switching to Rimini Street support, companies worldwide can save up to 90% on their total maintenance costs, thereby liberating resources for those initiatives that engage customers, create additional revenue streams for their business, and provide a competitive edge.
“In Israel today, the watch words are ‘transform or die’ as increasingly CIOs in the region are pressed to maximize their IT landscape and at the same time find funds to implement new business transformation initiatives,” said Dr. Jimmy Schwarzkoph, research fellow and managing partner, STKI. “Approximately one-third of the top 20 companies in every industry sector will be ‘disrupted’ over the next three years. The savvy CIO recognizes this trend and will seek out solutions that help them initiate strategic programs to engage customers, and help their organization to grow and remain competitive – switching to independent support is a powerful option to help them achieve these goals.”
Built From the Ground Up to Provide Hyper-Responsive, Premium-Level Support
Rimini Street’s global support team delivers excellence in customer service for every client with valuable services not included in standard vendor maintenance, including support for customizations, interoperability support and performance tuning. In addition, every client is assigned a named, regionally based Primary Support Engineer (PSE) with a minimum of 10 years’ experience in their respective applications and technologies, who work closely with a team of specialists around the world who respond to every request 24/7/365. The Company leads the industry in service level commitments, providing a 15-minute or less response time for Priority 1 (P1) critical cases. Rimini Street’s average response time for critical cases is less than five minutes.
“Across Israel and Eastern Europe, CIOs are shifting their focus from an ERP-centric view to digital, customer-facing innovations that deliver real value to their business,” said Jack Oster, general manager of Israel and Eastern Europe, Rimini Street. “We continue to see strong momentum in the region as our proposition gains traction with many C-Suite and IT leaders from companies of all sizes and industries, who are looking to maximize the return on investment from their stable ERP platform and shift their focus and budget from back-office technologies to strategic growth and innovation priorities.”
