Global Growth and Service Innovation
Rimini Street garnered the Gold Stevie award for Company of the Year – Computer Services in both the American and International Business award programs for its global growth and service innovation through 2018 including the expansion of its global workforce, new product and service offerings, the opening of new offices and facilities and the Company’s full year revenue growth.

In its drive to continually improve upon its service and client satisfaction, the team transitioned from a Waterfall development process to leveraging an Agile framework, significantly improving overall efficiency and time to deliver updates. During 2018, the Global Product Delivery team provided more than 49,000 individual TLR updates to clients across 30 countries. Every update provided to a client is customized for their needs and environment.
Rimini Street’s Global Support team was also recognized with two Stevie awards for Customer Service Department of the Year, and the Company’s group vice president of Global Support, Craig Mackereth, was honored with two Stevie awards for Customer Service Executive of the Year.
In addition to the numerous award wins presented to Rimini Street’s Global Service Delivery team for delivering excellence in customer service to its clients externally, Rimini Street’s internal IT Department was recognized, winning IT Department of the Year for the team’s focus on excellence, value, and reliability, and for being a trusted partner and advisor to the Company’s global employees.
Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year Award
