CASE STUDY essential to our operations as the results can help us make fast, on-the-spot and long-term strategic decisions that impact production, cost, profitability, resource planning and more – we’ re a manufacturer running 24 hours a day, so our SAP must be running 24 hours a day also. Rimini Street makes that possible,” said Widjaksono.
On a mission to reduce costs, achieve operational efficiencies and grow the business, GRP views digital transformation as its answer.
“ By having the right information at your fingertips, and not siloed, we can be agile in our decisionmaking which helps us with growth and profitability,” said Widjaksono.
We asked Ivan Widjaksono, Head of Information Technology, GRP, for more.
What were the main challenges GRP encountered with its previous support system that influenced its decision to collaborate with Rimini Street?
GRP faced challenges in our system which impacted both cost and operational efficiency – factors critical to supporting our growth strategy. Partnering with Rimini Street, we effectively reduced the overall cost of our SAP annual maintenance, and the savings have continued to snowball due to better coverage and more comprehensive support, all working to keep our business running at full speed without upgrades or pressure to replatform. The savings and efficiencies gained allowed us to reallocate resources towards strategic initiatives, facilitating our Industry 4.0 vision and overall business expansion, supporting our long-term, sustainable business strategy.
