Guidance for assessing all your support options
A growing number of enterprise software licensees are considering alternatives to annual maintenance from the enterprise software vendor. IT organisations are increasingly being asked to shift spending away from maintaining the status quo to supporting core business growth objectives. While the market for independent support options has matured, there are still many questions and misperceptions regarding the cancelling of vendor maintenance agreements which are addressed in this new Gartner report.
"Enterprise software licensees are struggling with the low value and poor service received from increasingly expensive vendor annual maintenance fees and this report verifies that many licensees are actively considering independent support options," said Seth Ravin, CEO, Rimini Street.
"Rimini Street offers Oracle and SAP licensees a more robust service offering, a more responsive service model, exceptional client value and the ability to free up funds to drive innovations the business needs today. We are proud to have already helped nearly 1 100 clients, including more than 100 Fortune 500 and Fortune Global 100 organisations, achieve maximum value from their IT investments."
