"We like to think of ourselves as the liberator," says Rimini Street external CTO Eric Helmer. "It's like David vs. Goliath, the Rebel Alliance vs. the evil Empire." In this case, it's big ERP vendors that are Goliath or the Empire, and Rimini Street says it can save you from being forced to re-buy your ERP products over and over again, instead using the money to drive innovation and efficiency in your business.

Rimini Street is well-known for providing enterprise support long after the vendor has abandoned its own product, or tried to force a subscription model on perpetual license holders. What you may not know is that Rimini Street can also provide cutting-edge guidance on where your financial services organisation could be investing instead of spending on costly ERP upgrades.

Today's business world is one of tension; consumer spending is down, but costs are rising. Innovation and automation is essential to advance, but capital is tied up in major upgrades and migrations dictated by large software vendors. Rimini Street says you don't have to get sucked up into the vendor's sale cycle. Free up time, people, and money by focusing on what really matters instead.
