With 1.88 million acres of farmland and over 300 different crops, Fresno County is the number one agricultural producing county in the U.S. and ships goods to 95 countries worldwide. The ISD supports the county\u2019s myriad public-facing divisions and is constantly searching for cost optimizations it can pass along to the departments directly serving the community. The ISD\u2019s Information Technology Division provides the core infrastructure support for all the county\u2019s networking, programming, service desk and enterprise resource planning (ERP) needs. In addition, numerous divisions within the local government utilize Oracle Database and Fusion Middleware software and PeopleSoft applications for financial and HR functions to manage the billions of dollars of budget run through the system, which supports the county\u2019s 8,000 employees. For years the County had tried to collaborate with Oracle to reduce its support costs, but these efforts proved unsuccessful. As a result, the County switched to Rimini Street Support and now receives faster response times and proactive guidance from the Company\u2019s expert engineers. This, in turn, has freed up the County\u2019s internal IT personnel to focus on more critical business initiatives.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cPartnering with Rimini Street has enabled us to continue advancing a cultural shift towards exploring new ways of doing business. Every dollar county departments save on ISD\u2019s services is money that can be spent on programs for the community,\u201d said Robert Bash, director of internal services and chief information officer, County of Fresno. \u201cThe savings have given us the financial flexibility to begin exploring what is next for our infrastructure. We\u2019re able to invest in developing a roadmap for the county, all while remaining cost-neutral for our users.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Personalized Support from Expert Engineers 24\/7\/365<\/b><\/p>\n \nThe County of Fresno, along with all Rimini Street clients, is assigned a Primary Support Engineer, backed by a team of functional and technical experts, who have an average of more than 15 years\u2019 experience in the client\u2019s software system. The Company also benefits from Rimini Street\u2019s ultra-responsive service level agreement of 10-minute response times for critical Priority 1 cases. Rimini Street also handles all of the County\u2019s tax, legal and regulatory updates, ensuring security and compliance requirements are met according to state guidelines.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cRimini Street recently helped create a legislation update for us, which, according to our PeopleSoft team, took substantially less time to implement than previous updates from Oracle. Rimini Street tailored a patch specifically to our environment, so our team didn\u2019t need to waste time applying code that we don\u2019t need, like global payroll,\u201d said Sheri Walden, deputy director of information technology, County of Fresno. \u201cRimini Street is focused on the support and success of our organization, not just delivering a product. The Rimini Street team initiates meaningful conversation and is constantly probing for how we can improve our infrastructure or better focus on the unique needs of our stakeholders.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cBy switching to Rimini Street, the County of Fresno was able to reduce IT costs, maintain legislative security and compliance, and maximize efficiencies within its IT team to focus its resources on strategic and community initiatives,\u201d said Gerard Brossard<\/a>, chief operating officer, Rimini Street. \u201cRimini Street currently supports public sector and government agencies and departments around the world, helping them to significantly reduce their vendor support and maintenance costs, better manage their IT resources \u2013 people, time and money \u2013 and invest in transformative projects that better meet the needs of their communities.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nLearn more<\/a> about County of Fresno\u2019s success with Rimini Street.\n<\/p>\n About Rimini Street, Inc.<\/b><\/p>\n \nRimini Street, Inc.
