Rimini Street has signed a strategic partnership with Datacom under a reseller agreement that will allow Datacom to offer Rimini Support services for Oracle and SAP software to public and private sector customers across Australia and New Zealand.
Under the arrangement, Datacom said it will provide level 4 support services as part of its core platforms portfolio, including security and compliance services powered by Rimini Street, for customers running supported perpetually licensed versions of Oracle and SAP software without upgrades or licence changes.
The companies said the partnership is aimed at customers seeking to extend the life of existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) environments and redirect IT budget towards projects including AI, cloud migration and digital transformation.
Rimini Street said the deal is its first partnership of this type in the region. “This is a first-of-its-kind partnership for Rimini Street in this region, and we are excited to join forces with a technology leader like Datacom at a pivotal moment, when economic pressures and the urgency to accelerate AI adoption intersect,” said Shirley Riddick, GVP and regional GM, ANZ, Rimini Street. “Rimini Street and Datacom together can help organisations maximise the full value of their current investments, reduce operating risk and leapfrog innovation by deploying Agentic AI in weeks, not months, on top of their existing systems.”
Datacom said the partnership expands its options for customers running Oracle and SAP platforms. “We are excited to partner with Rimini Street to enhance our service offerings. This partnership allows Datacom to provide our clients across ANZ with a proven solution that helps to extend the life and value of their enterprise software investments so they can continue on their AI journeys. It aligns perfectly with our commitment to helping customers solve their biggest challenges and achieve their strategic goals,” said Dave Payne, director, Core Platforms, Australia and New Zealand, Datacom.
The announcement comes as organisations across the region assess software support costs and upgrade cycles against competing priorities such as AI investment and cloud programmes. Third-party support arrangements remain a contentious area for some enterprises, often requiring careful review of compliance obligations, security controls and vendor support requirements for critical systems.
