GE Lighting, a Savant Company, Reduces Redundancy and Increases Efficiency with Rimini Watch

When evaluating potential solutions, GE Lighting, a Savant company, reviewed four main criteria for its new change management system:

• A robust system that supports approval processes
• Provides insight to “collisions” with changes
• Ability to document and move attachments
• Capability to migrate all its change history to the new tool

Rimini Watch for Change Management met these criteria and was selected. Rimini Watch exceeded expectations and provided the desired flexibility and seamlessness, and GE Lighting, a Savant company’s team saw a significant reduction in friction for its internal clients who relied on the change management system for their SAP landscape.

“There was a real partnership in helping our teams work through how it needed to be designed for us, how to get all of our historical documents migrated over, and how we utilize and manage it afterwards. Rimini Street made it easy for our team to make the change from ChaRM to Rimini Watch for Change Management,” said Theresa Szoke, vice president of information technology for Savant Systems, Inc., a global leader in the smart home and smart power spaces that purchased GE Lighting in 2020. “We were able to maintain quality in internal processes and have real cost savings to support our transformation agenda.”
