VIVERE Group, an Indonesian provider of interior contracting, furniture manufacturing, and furnishing solutions, has selected Rimini Street to support its SAP ECC system, allowing its internal IT team to focus more on digital transformation instead of maintaining legacy software.
Rimini Street Inc., the software support and agentic AI ERP company and a third-party support provider for Oracle, SAP and VMware software, said VIVERE will use Rimini Support for SAP to maintain business continuity and strengthen support for its SAP ECC environment.
This comes as VIVERE faces the end of support for its SAP ECC system and considers whether to migrate to SAP S/4HANA. Instead of putting significant time and money into an upgrade, the company decided to keep its existing SAP system while directing more resources toward innovation.
Founded in 1984 and listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange since 2002, PT Gema Graham Sarana Tbk is the core company of VIVERE Group. It runs SAP ECC 6 on IBM Db2 to support its project-based operations, manufacturing, and distribution businesses.
VIVERE sought advice from Gartner on its technology roadmap and, based on those discussions and recommendations from peers, concluded that its investments would be better directed toward innovation rather than a costly and time-consuming S/4HANA migration.
“Our core philosophy is to keep people, quality and business continuity at the center of our technology decisions,” said Sutrisno Yao, head of IT at VIVERE Group. “Technology should be a practical enabler that supports reliable operations, improves processes and strengthens the business without creating unnecessary disruption.”
The partnership is expected to give VIVERE immediate cost savings, access to SAP expertise, and the ability to modernize its business while keeping its existing systems.
“Rimini Street gives us confidence that our SAP environment is well supported, while giving our internal team more room to focus on improvements that help the business move forward,” said Yao.
The company is also working on better system integration, more consistent business processes, and digital transformation as it expands.
“Our initial goal was clear: protect business continuity, strengthen SAP support and free up our internal team to focus on higher-value priorities,” Yao said. “Rimini Street helps my team spend less time firefighting SAP and more time supporting process improvements and higher-value business needs.”
For Rimini Street, the deal highlights how companies with older enterprise software are looking for alternatives to expensive upgrades while still keeping critical business systems running.
“In today’s highly competitive, volatile market, lowering the cost to operate and freeing up capital and talent is no longer a choice,” said Nancy Lyskawa, EVP and chief client officer, Rimini Street. “Forward-thinking companies such as VIVERE Group are choosing Rimini Street to not only create capacity for innovation, but to deliver it.”
