Global leader of image
processing chooses Rimini Support™ and Rimini Protect™ as it explores
new ERP strategy independent of Oracle
(BUSINESS
WIRE)--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 that Ricoh Company, Ltd., a
global leader in image processing and digital transformation solutions,
has selected Rimini Support™ and Rimini Protect™ to safeguard and
optimize its existing Oracle EBS and Oracle Database environments,
ensuring operational excellence and security as it explores its
next-generation ERP strategy.
Ricoh Readies for Transformation Without Disruption
Ricoh
currently runs its transactional processes using multiple instances of
Oracle EBS and Oracle Database but has decided its long-term IT strategy
includes a transition from several Oracle products.
Ricoh turned
to Rimini Street for guidance on its approach for upholding operational
excellence and the security and protection of sensitive data during its
digital transformation.
“Since we had already decided to move
off of Oracle, our priority was maintaining and securing our current
systems, not upgrading them,” said Keisuke Hamanaka, deputy general
manager of Process, IT and Data Management at Ricoh. “We made a
comparative evaluation with other companies offering similar services
and concluded that Rimini Street is the only partner that can support
the Japanese market with the high-quality support and protection we
need, at a price that aligns with our financial goals.”
A Powerful Combination of Rimini Support™ and Rimini Protect™ Leads to Significant Cost Savings and Peace of Mind for Ricoh
Facing
the challenge of maintaining business continuity and protecting
sensitive data while planning its next ERP move, Ricoh selected a
powerful combination of Rimini Support to provide award-winning,
comprehensive software maintenance services, and Rimini Street’s
Advanced Application and Middleware Security (AAMS) for its Oracle EBS
system, and Advanced Database Security (ADS) for its Oracle Databases.
This approach provided Ricoh with real-time, zero-day vulnerability
protection without extensive downtime, backed by global engineers with a
deep bench of expertise to keep its Oracle systems running at full
speed.
“Rimini Street offers an attractive service that has saved
us hundreds of millions of yen in upgrade costs and staffs highly
skilled support engineers who can cover major ERP and database systems
and protect them too. We were able to divert resources from engaging in a
major EBS upgrade, and save several billion yen at the same time,”
Hamanaka said. “In addition to the tangible benefits of partnering with
Rimini Street, these services give Ricoh peace of mind knowing we have
dependable security around the critical data in our Oracle Databases
that back up EBS.”
