Staffing challenges uncover support inefficiencies

Despite facing certain challenges during the Great Resignation of 2022, it seized the opportunity to optimize its operations. “We had to adjust to the talent and skills shortage, but it gave us a chance to evaluate our processes,” said Criselda de Jesus, Department Head, HCM and CRM Solutions at ABSI, Parent Company of HCX Technology Partners. During this evaluation, it recognized the need to align the support they received from Oracle with their business-critical customizations. As a result, the HCM provider found a partner that offers responsive and comprehensive support for its PeopleSoft platforms, allowing them to better serve their clients.

One partner solves multiple IT needs

“Rimini Street has been instrumental in optimizing our costs and providing comprehensive support that addresses our clients’ bigger and broader needs,” said Froilan Rabatan, Managing Director. “We are grateful to have found a partner that truly understands our business and values our success.” He chose Rimini SupportTM to provide expertise and solutions for their challenges and to fill talent gaps left by the Great Resignation.”

Rimini Support provides the team with 24/7/365 service, guaranteed response times, access to expertise, and support for customizations at no extra cost. “We log in a ticket, and Rimini Street provides root cause analysis and permanently fixes those issues. We are seeing vast improvements leading to stabilization and the ability to meet our KPIs,” said de Jesus.

With “problem tickets” handled by her Rimini Street team, de Jesus can focus her team on innovation. “We can reduce the number of people from production support and refocus them on strategic projects and development projects because we now have Rimini Street to support us. We receive premium service and immediate response for priority cases,” she said. Having instant access to expertise also saves her team time troubleshooting. De Jesus explained, “Instead of setting out to resolve an issue on your own, I tell my team to log a ticket in with Rimini Street. You’ll have more brains and hands on deck helping you out and a faster resolution.”

Looking forward, it plans to use the saved funds and talent resources to bolster their future by adding financial systems and mobile application development for self-service to the company’s stack of offerings.
