Reallocating Valuable IT Resources, Powered By Rimini Street

Similar to other organizations running SAP, Tanita recognized that its rate of growth was hindered by the steep costs associated with their annual SAP software support, which required the company to allocate limited and valuable IT resources toward constant testing and implementation of application updates and upgrades that did not provide a strong business return for Tanita.

The substantial financial and labor costs of these mandatory updates was a major obstacle to the company’s innovation and made it difficult to implement a company-centered IT strategy and roadmap for the future. Tanita needed to ensure continuous and stable operation of the company’s mission-critical IT environment while maintaining a limited IT staff and budget.

Tanita turned to Rimini Street’s Support for SAP because of the Company’s global reputation for providing excellent, stable support at drastically reduced annual maintenance costs of up to 90%. Research and analysis of other options considered revealed Rimini Street’s unique ability to reduce, if not eliminate, unnecessary updates and maintenance costs while providing holistic, agnostic, mission-critical support powered by seasoned engineers.

Since adopting Rimini Street Support, Tanita now receives dependable, quality support for the latest versions of SAP software used at its headquarters in Japan, as well as for the company's stable, SAP system used in its overseas operations. One of the great advantages Tanita has benefitted from with the move to Rimini Street is the ability to have its customized code supported, which SAP’s support model does not offer. The company no longer needs to allocate resources towards proving the causation of the breaks in its system to the vendor, and instead, turns to Rimini Street engineers to solve issues with extraordinary care.
