Building the Foundation for Innovation Starts with Support
A Rimini Support™ client for its SAP S/4HANA system, Ypê is leveraging Rimini Street’s deep ERP expertise, enhanced by AI insight and automation and industry-leading SLAs, to free up IT resources and achieve significant cost savings of up to 90% total annual software support fees.
Following the Rimini Smart Path™, a proven methodology to fund and accelerate enterprise-wide Agentic AI transformation by helping organizations extend system life, regain IT roadmap control and deploy meaningful innovation in weeks, not years, Ypê’s IT leadership gained confidence to advance their AI strategy without the lock-in, cost or disruption of an ERP Software upgrade or migration.
“Rimini Street knows ERP and ERP Processes better than anyone,” said Geraldo Pereira, CIO at Ypê. “We’ve experienced many financial and operational benefits by switching from SAP support to Rimini Street. And with Rimini Street’s Agentic AI ERP offerings, our roadmap to transformation has become accelerated.”
Breaking Down Silos with AI Across All Systems
Ypê was introduced to Rimini Agentic UX™, an intelligent, AI-driven user engagement layer that streamlines ERP Processes for speed of execution and significant savings. Through in-depth discovery and persona-based workflow design, Ypê is automating processes across customer service, sales and other departments, from eight manual steps to just two. The results include dramatic improvement in speed, reduced risk and enhanced OTIF (on-time, in-full) performance.
While traditional ERP vendor-embedded AI remains trapped in system silos, Rimini Street delivers Agentic AI capabilities that span enterprise systems, including SAP, Oracle, ServiceNow, CRM, HR and other software platforms. For Ypê, this holistic approach has helped to unify data and automate processes enterprise-wide, rather than being limited to isolated applications.
“SAP thinks only about the SAP environment, but Rimini Street thinks about all the integrations,” said Pereira. “With Rimini Street’s Agentic UX offering, I now have a major advantage and a smart path to achieving AI across the enterprise.”
A Model for the Future: Accelerating Agentic AI for Strategic Advantage
“Ypê is a role model for how organizations can use Agentic AI ERP to achieve enterprise-wide value, quickly, safely and without disruption,” said Vijay Kumar, EVP and chief innovation officer at Rimini Street. “Together, we are deploying intelligent workflows that accelerate decision making, reduce operational friction, and support Ypê’s long-term AI strategy.”
“At Ypê, we have several AI projects in works, but the Rimini Agentic UX™ project has outperformed them all in both speed and expectations. It only took one month from start to delivery, and helped us reduce our approval cycle by 60% and accelerate time-to-value. It’s a great win for our IT team,” said Pereira. “You can try AI agents and Generative AI without big migrations, without big investments, right now, with Rimini Street.”
