Awards Reflect Company Commitment to Service and Client Success

Rimini Street’s global support team earned the Customer Service
Department of the Year award for its ultra-responsive, premium-level
support provided to clients. Rimini Street’s global support team
provides 24/7/365 support coverage, and is made up of hundreds of expert
engineers who support clients with operations in 117 countries. The
global support team achieved an overall client satisfaction rating of
4.8 out of 5.0 (with 5.0 being “excellent”), and delivered response
times averaging less than five minutes for all Priority 1 cases.
Additionally, during the second half of 2017 and the first half of 2018,
the group closed over 27,000 support cases across more than 40 countries.

Rimini Street also received a Gold Stevie award in the Innovation in
Customer Service category for its innovative new global support service
platform that provides proactive service intelligence, further
improving internal efficiencies and client satisfaction. This patent-
pending platform enables deep business insight and helps the Company’s
engineers be highly proactive in servicing clients.

The Back-Office Customer Service Team of the Year was awarded to Rimini
Street’s Service Operations team who is responsible for developing and
operating the service delivery framework required for the front-end
teams to provide the highest quality services to clients each year. The
team is dedicated to providing the resources and collaboration needed
for the global support team as well as the Company’s tax, legal and
regulatory product delivery department, ensuring efficient service and
accurate delivery of tax, legal and regulatory updates to Rimini Street
clients.

Women of the Year in Customer Service

Two Rimini Street employees received awards for Woman of the Year in
Customer Service – Brenda Davenport, vice president Quality Assurance
and Jennifer Perry, vice president of Global SAP Support – for their
dedication to providing leadership for their respective teams and
supporting their client’s success. Brenda manages the global quality
assurance program for all tax and regulatory updates developed by Rimini
Street for SAP, JDE, EBS, RSITE and PeopleSoft products. Jennifer is
responsible for developing and managing the delivery of support to
global SAP clients. Both women exemplified the drive to lead their teams
to deliver excellent customer results, top quality deliverables and a
consistent experience for clients around the world.

Individuals Contribute to Overall Client Success

Two of Rimini Street’s primary support engineers (PSEs) were also
recognized, receiving the Front-Line Customer Service Professional of
the Year award – Etan Spierer for Oracle products and Joe van der Merwe
for SAP products – for their commitment and focus on delivering first
class customer service to their clients. Both PSEs received awards for
providing detailed attention to each of their client’s needs with in
person visits and frequent phone conversations, solving cases requiring
expert knowledge of the client’s systems and responding on average in
less than five minutes to Priority 1 critical cases, as well as
mentoring their internal teams to encourage long-lasting partnerships
with colleagues and clients.

“From day one, Rimini Street’s mission has been to redefine the
enterprise software support model by developing innovative new products
