Rimini reported net income of $17.5 million for 2019, compared to a loss of $64 million for 2018. Revenue for the most recently ended year was 281.1 million, up 10.9 percent for $253.5 million for the prior year. Raven said the company sees a bright future as SAP and Oracle, its primary service and support competitors,  attempt to force users from on-premise systems to the cloud. These vendors are engaged in “a continuing effort to force their licensees to upgrade and Migrate from current stable licensed software releases to the vendors’ newest immature products,” Raven said. “We believe this creates a tremendous opportunity for Rimini Street.” Among the increased international operations were the launch of sales in Poland and an increased its present in Russia.
