Rimini Street, headquartered in Las Vegas, is a global provider of enterprise software support products and services, and a third-party support provider for Oracle and SAP software products, specializing in database and ERP support and management services.
OSV uses tickets/cases for communication, which makes it easy to open and monitor the status of transactions. They are great at net pay processing and filing taxes. If things are not moving along, you can reach out to your Tax Specialist or Customer Success Manager, and they can help escalate concerns. It sounds like they are rearranging their tax filing department so they can facilitate quicker resolutions, so I hope that benefits their customers. They are also interested in reaching out and making things right for the customer. Their Knowledge Center online could use a re-vamp. The search function is not useful at all, and I have a difficult time finding forms such as ACH Reversal form, or the Stop Payment form.
The transition from software vendor to Rimini Street third-party support was well managed and planned, with great visibility of progress. The ability to react quickly to impacting issues and have engineers engaged at speed is impressive. The understanding of and engagement around support issues related to software incompatibility, which inevitably occur over time, was great.
[OneSource Virtual] offers an array of on-demand webinars
At the end of each quarter, [OneSource Virtual]'s tax and payroll team initiate a meeting with me to discuss the quarter's activities and hear any concerns I may have
I meet with my [OneSource Virtual] Success Manager once a year to touch base and discuss improvements to our services
Their ticketing system is easy and fast (within 15 minutes). Depending on the priority, an issue is assigned immediately. If the issue persists for a few hours, they have global support until the issue is resolved.
I have worked with Rimini Street on modules such as Payables, General Ledger, Inventory, Receivables, Purchasing, EAM, Fixed Assets, and custom programs. These could be generic or specific to an issue.
I had to open a priority one ticket for the month-end closing issue, and the response and solution were lightning speed.
We receive far too many emails from our cases. They send three just to start with.
Better knowledge of the tax deferrals due to Covid19.
A better reminder of when your contract will end. They spring it on you at the very last second and then you cannot look outside of OneSource Virtual because you need coverage.
As a global support organization, at times I'll interact with someone with an accent that is a little tricky to understand. This has never prevented us from reaching a resolution.
It would be nice to have access to a library or knowledge base to be able to research topics on my own.
Most of the time, we receive a response to a new ticket within a few hours. Occasionally, a ticket with the payroll tax team would fall through the cracks and take several days before it was acknowledged. This issue has gotten better since we had a meeting and discussed the expectations.
For 99% of cases, we got the proper resource assigned in an appropriate amount of time. In very few cases, the case was shuffled between analysts, trying to find the right resource and usually required repeated re-explanation of the entire issue, which was time consuming and unproductive.
We didn't have "in-person" training, but it really wasn't necessary. The site is intuitive enough you'll not have any issues opening or managing your cases via the Rimini portal.
From an end-users perspective it was pretty seamless. a) Here's your new website to open and manage cases. b) Here's your credentials c} Here's the process for sharing documentation with the Rimini staff working the case. Step (c) was a bit different because the agreement stipulates we aren't sharing Oracle intellectual property back-and-forth. So the process of providing some of the issue documentation was different than working with Oracle support directly.
The level of support and flexibility of OneSource Virtual is far superior to my experience with ADP. They are readily available to assist with troubleshooting as well as day-to-day needs. ADP was difficult to get in touch with and had a box product that required our business to conform to instead of being able to flex to meet business needs. OneSource Virtual has a deeper platform than Paychex, however, the level of customer support is equal.
Bo other product since this decision was out of my control. If I was to decide, I would surely recommend using Rimini Street as an alternative to Oracle Database support since their employees seem to be very knowledgeable and have the necessary Database Administrator experience needed to help provided the needed support when needed.
Leveraging OneSource Virtual's garnishment processing services reduced overheard and allowed me to repurpose a position I had in my department just for processing garnishments.
Not having to push tax files to the vendor is a huge time savings as well-we would spend all day producing files to push over to our previous vendor.
Ease of processing our Canadian payroll-we are done with payroll in 1 hour.
