Rimini Street, Inc. announced that Douglas County School District has switched to Rimini Street for support of the organization's Oracle Database 11.2 and Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 11.5.10 software, including support for its EBS payroll application. In choosing Rimini Street for support of its Oracle products, Douglas County School District has shifted funding to more innovative technology and IT initiatives such as a district-wide data visualization platform that will help enhance the district's decision-making capabilities, to better deliver on its mission of providing a world-class education to its students. The Douglas County School District is responsible for the education of over 67,000 students in 86 K-12 schools, and employs more than 7,500 employees.

In 2014, the school district reported nearly 89% graduation rates. In response to concerted efforts to curb costs and achieve greater efficiency from their ERP landscape, Douglas County School District decided to switch from Oracle to Rimini Street for support of the organization's existing Oracle EBS application, as well as the Oracle Database product. As a result of making the switch, Douglas County School District slashed annual maintenance costs in half, but more importantly, avoided an expensive and potentially disruptive forced upgrade to EBS R12 which would have cost the District $3.5 million.

They are redirecting the savings towards delivering a new platform that will allow the district to view data holistically across all aspects, from its students and teachers, to the budget and facilities, in order to help better inform district managers and decision-makers. Douglas County School District also enjoys much higher levels of service than it received from the vendor, including 24x7x365 support from a named, local Primary Support Engineer (PSE), support for its highly customized application at no additional cost, as well as guaranteed support for up to 15 years on their existing Oracle ERP products.
