Hastings Entertainment Recognizes Rimini
Street’s Outstanding PeopleSoft Support for Second
Time
Rimini Street, Inc., the leading independent provider of
enterprise software support for SAP AG’s (NYSE: SAP) Business Suite
and BusinessObjects software and Oracle Corporation’s (NYSE: ORCL)
Siebel, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, E-Business Suite, Oracle Database,
Oracle Middleware, Hyperion and Oracle Retail software, today
announced that it has been named “IT Vendor of the Year” by
long-standing client Hastings Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAST)
for a second time. The award recognizes Rimini Street’s outstanding
support of Hasting Entertainment’s PeopleSoft applications,
including premium-level service, ultra-responsive resolution of
support issues, support for customizations and timely and accurate
delivery of high-quality tax and regulatory updates.
Founded in 1968, Hastings Entertainment is a leading multimedia
entertainment superstore retailer currently operating more than 120
superstores throughout the U.S. The company switched to Rimini
Street for support of their PeopleSoft applications in 2007 and
realized many added benefits beyond the annual maintenance cost
savings. These include an assigned Primary Support Engineer (PSE)
available 24x7x365, support for customizations at no additional
cost, avoiding costly and unnecessary forced upgrades for the sake
of staying supported and guaranteed support for a minimum of 15
years for existing releases without required upgrades.
Part of Hastings Entertainment’s standard support program with
Rimini Street includes support for U.S. payroll through Rimini
Street’s ISO 9001:2008-certified tax, legal and regulatory service
that keeps organizations in legal and financial compliance.
"Since switching to Rimini Street support several years ago, we
have enjoyed a much higher level of support and responsiveness for
our PeopleSoft applications compared to the vendor,” said Bryan
Lee, Hastings Entertainment Senior Director of IT Applications. “We
recognize the important role Rimini Street has played in supporting
our IT needs over the years and we are pleased to be able to
present them with this award.”
“Rimini Street is honored and grateful once again to be
recognized by Hastings Entertainment for providing outstanding
software support,” said Seth Ravin, Rimini Street CEO. “This award
is a reflection of the great partnership we have formed with our
friends at Hastings Entertainment and our mutual dedication and
focus to achieving their IT service objectives and financial goals.
With more than 850 signed clients to date, including 91 of the
Fortune 500 and 16 of the Fortune Global 100, Rimini Street is
committed to delivering innovative support services and exceptional
value to help our clients succeed.”
