Rimini Street Primary Support Engineers Renowned for Delivering Outstanding Customer Service
Rimini Street’s global service delivery team is made up of hundreds of professionals who support client operations in more than 90 countries worldwide.

Rimini Street PSEs, experts in their respective applications and technologies, work closely with each client and therefore gain an understanding of their overall IT environment and operational needs to help ensure prompt resolution of any issues.
Rimini Street’s JD Edwards (JDE) Service Delivery team was honored with the Silver Stevie Award for Customer Service Department of the Year, as well as the Golden Bridge Award for Customer Service Team of the Year.

Rimini Street’s Technology Support Services (TSS) team was recognized with the gold Golden Bridge award for IT Department of the Year.
