New suite of solutions provide unique, cost-effective tools to connect browsers, operating systems and email used with Oracle, SAP and other software
Rimini Street, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMNI), a global provider of enterprise software products and services, a leading provider of independent support for Oracle and SAP software, and a Salesforce partner, announces the launch of Rimini Connect™, a new suite of solutions that facilitates the resolution of requirements of ever-changing integration and interoperability.
For years, Rimini Street has provided integration and interoperability solutions for its customers' enterprise software, browsers, infrastructure and email applications. Now, the company has gathered three solutions used to make the new Rimini Connect package available. The launch follows the expansion of the company, which has recently made available the set of security solutions Rimini Protect™.
Connecting a growing ecosystem of complex software
Companies in general have a growing scenario of complex programs and with different types of technologies and platforms, which makes them highly personalized, but imposes a more challenging scenario: components of the technological park such as hardware, operating systems, browsers and data connections of back-office applications change frequently.
When a change to a component causes a problem with the software being used, the typical software vendor response is to do nothing, offer a code update, require the investment for a new version, or sometimes even require a complete migration. to a different version of the product to address these integration and interoperability challenges.
Furthermore, leaving aside the significant cost, manpower, and time it can take to make these application changes, there is considerable risk that these changes could create interconnection issues with other applications and system issues that, in the worst case scenario, lead to operational interruptions for users. This situation is even more complex when organizations have customized programs.
With an eye on this scenario, Rimini Street began to develop innovative solutions, in partnership with its clients, to isolate the applications used and create a “universal translator” between incompatible technologies and codes.
The response received from early adopters of the solution was very positive, as they received advanced technology that allowed them to easily and continuously reconfigure their IT environment. They also benefited from smooth integrations and interoperability without the need to apply changes to the application or database code.
Clients get fast, lasting results with Rimini Connect™
Today's market needs everything to work consistently, together and easily, now and in the future, as Rimini Connect solutions provide. Over the past 17 years, Rimini Street has successfully resolved thousands of compatibility issues for customers. The company's more than 800 engineers worldwide have thousands of years of combined experience in solving integration and interoperability challenges between software products in complex environments, and possess advanced technology specifically dedicated to solving the most complex challenges. constantly evolving.
Rimini Connect solutions eliminate the need for a limited roadmap to use certain software, which creates the burden of purchasing release or application updates, which are risky, time-consuming and require an investment that may be unnecessary.
Rimini Connect solutions serve all organizations worldwide. The first three, released now, are:
“Many of our customers are successfully running Rimini Connect solutions and will save millions, extensive work and significant time by avoiding the need for software vendor code updates, application upgrades or migrations just to maintain integrations and interoperability,” notes Desmond Whitt, vice president of advanced technology services for Rimini Street.
Officeworks, a large Australian retailer, was able to avoid a complex, costly and business-depleting SAP software upgrade thanks to Rimini Connect for browsers.
“Over the long term, Rimini Connect has allowed us to prioritize our technology investments to provide an easier and more engaging customer experience,” says Michael Howard, Director of Operations for Officeworks. “When any implementation issues occurred due to our custom environment, Rimini Street would proactively help us look for a solution and resolve the issues. For us, it was about making this transition as seamless as possible without disrupting business, and Rimini Street helped us achieve that.”
MilliporeSigma, a service provider to the pharmaceutical industry that provides state-of-the-art tools, services and knowledge to run experiments and design new products under strict federal regulations, implemented Rimini Connect for email to meet their needs.
“Email compatibility for us is very critical. The implementation of Rimini Connect was flawless. There was no system downtime. Our end users didn't know anything had happened,” says Karen McAfee, senior IT business analyst at MilliporeSigma. “Rimini Street has changed the game and is giving me the peace of mind that I have someone good and reliable to help support our system.”
Rimini Connect™ for browsers
Rimini Connect for browsers supports one or more browsers that are incompatible with HTML messages sent by ERPs (Enterprise Resource Planning). Most organizations today have multiple desktop clients, sometimes with multiple versions running at the same time. Rimini Connect for browsers solves the following challenges:
- Assists in “future proofing” the compatibility of current and future software and releases;
- Extends the life of existing enterprise applications and minimizes changes for users with a variety of current and future browsers and versions;
- Does not require server portal and browsers to be changed;
- Requires no updates, upgrades or migrations to the code;
- Does not require application regression testing;
Rimini Connect™ for OS
Rimini Connect for OS supports new versions that may not be certified or incompatible with ERP applications. To meet evolving security and compliance standards, most companies don't realize they have alternatives to upgrading operating systems. Typically, an update is also required to support releases. Rimini Connect for OS provides the following benefits:
- Helps prepare current and future program releases for compatibility with a variety of operating system releases:
- Extends the life of existing enterprise applications and minimizes change for users;
- Manage enterprise software and operating system roadmaps independently;
- Enables the option to update operating systems;
- Does not require application regression testing;
Rimini Connect™ for email
Rimini Connect™ for email supports new authentication protocols and seamless integration. Modern programs use email to drive their workflow, but they often use older methods to connect to these evolving email services. The solution launched by Rimini allows the adoption of the new standards without any changes to the software code, in addition to:
- Preserve email-based notification and authentication workflows as email server authentication protocols evolve;
- Quickly resolves incompatibilities as the Microsoft Exchange Online will migrate to Open Authorization Protocol 2.0 (OAUTH2) on January 1, 2023, for example;
- Extends the life of existing enterprise applications and minimizes change for users;
- Requires no updates, upgrades or migrations to software code;
- Does not require regression testing;
