Business Wire India — Rimini Street, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMNI), a leading provider of third-party support for enterprise software, has announced an expansion of its partnership with Ypê, a prominent Brazilian consumer goods company with products in over 95% of Brazilian homes. This collaboration aims to further Ypê’s AI-first strategy, facilitating a frictionless experience for employees, customers, and stakeholders alike.
As a Rimini Support™ client utilizing SAP S/4HANA, Ypê is harnessing Rimini Street’s extensive ERP expertise, enhanced by AI capabilities, to streamline operations and achieve substantial cost reductions. The company reports savings of up to 90% in total annual software support fees, freeing up valuable IT resources for strategic initiatives.
By following the Rimini Smart Path™, a methodology designed to expedite enterprise-wide AI transformation, Ypê’s IT leadership has gained the confidence to advance their digital strategy without the complications typically associated with ERP software upgrades or migrations. This approach facilitates the extension of system life and allows for meaningful innovation to be deployed in weeks, rather than years.
“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.”
The partnership also introduces Ypê to Rimini Agentic UX™, an AI-driven user engagement layer that enhances ERP processes. By automating procedures across various departments, such as customer service and sales, Ypê has reduced the number of manual steps required to complete tasks from eight to just two. This significant streamlining has led to improvements in execution speed, reduced risk, and enhanced OTIF (on-time, in-full) performance metrics.
Unlike traditional ERP systems where AI capabilities are often confined within specific silos, Rimini Street’s approach enables the deployment of Agentic AI across various enterprise systems, including SAP, Oracle, ServiceNow, CRM, HR, and others. For Ypê, this comprehensive strategy has unified data and automated processes across the organization, overcoming the limitations of isolated applications.
“SAP thinks only about the SAP environment, but Rimini Street thinks about all the integrations,” Pereira noted. “With Rimini Street’s Agentic UX offering, I now have a significant advantage and a smart path to achieving AI across the enterprise.”
“Ypê is a role model for how organizations can use Agentic AI ERP to achieve enterprise-wide value quickly, safely, and without disruption,” stated 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.”
Pereira emphasized the effectiveness of the Rimini Agentic UX™ project, stating, “At Ypê, we have several AI projects in the 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.”
This partnership illustrates the potential for organizations to maximize the value of existing systems while funding innovation through methodologies like the Rimini Smart Path™. As Ypê continues to pursue its AI initiatives, it sets a precedent for other companies looking to leverage AI for competitive advantage without the disruption of significant system overhauls.
