We’ve just launched a major partnership with ServiceNow to modernize more quickly and economically compared to going down the vendor ERP modernization roadmap We’re excited to have a productive 2025 as an organization and things are in place now to continue moving in the right direction PERICA: I would advise them to step up as a leader and form a task force This isn’t just because of the new presidential administration but if you’ve been building products for a while Managing your supply and demand characteristics within political situations is vital to success I just don’t see how a company can have a proper and holistic business analysis as well as a proper deployment of capital unless the initiative is CFO-led This also depends heavily on your internal financial and R&D capabilities I dealt with over 100,000 unique item numbers the business was sourcing During the first wave of the new administration in 2016 and its approach to China I learned from that mistake and now know the importance of making the business approach proactive and flexible to adapt to political decisions quickly Most CFO collaboration doesn’t work unless it’s enterprise-wide I can’t stress the importance of collaboration enough particularly between forward-looking finance and the FP&A component of the CFO’s team being true partners throughout the business getting invited to meetings and actively participating It needs to be company-wide and a strategic initiative for the organization to benefit from it many finance teams will lobby you for modernization and I think it’s important to identify the reasons behind it My advice is to identify appropriate uses of capital that will generate a return while also considering alternatives like a hybrid approach to modernization it’s elements of the system that need more advanced software Knowing the alternatives can give CFOs more confidence in finding an economical and quick path to modernization while utilizing next-generation technologies Make sure you don’t upgrade systems just because the vendor says it’s required Once the finance team commits to a specific type of software Many of these projects go over budget and take longer than expected That’s why it’s essential to have a clear business objective for ERP modernization rather than doing it simply because the system is aging This is partly why I’m so excited about 2025 The next generation of technologies that will help modernize tools within these systems is going to excite a lot of CFOs PERICA: Communication is one of the most crucial skills for any CFO We have a responsibility to the board and shareholders It was a bit easier when we were in the office every day especially those at publicly traded companies should sit down with the CEO for at least 30 minutes daily in an unstructured Regardless of whether you’re working at a founder-led organization it’s essential to talk about where the company needs to go and how the finance team can help move it forward These are conversations every CFO should have with their CEO regularly I avoid relying too much on email communication I always have my camera on during virtual meetings and I make it known I prefer live conversations That’s how I’ve been able to communicate effectively in a hybrid model I’ve been in meetings with 20 or more people we’re showing that this type of communication can work and

Third-party support and services provider Rimini Street recently announced a new capability that expands the company’s solutions into the Workday ecosystem and Executive Vice President of Global Transformation sat down with Channel Insider to explain how the company partners with leading enterprise vendors and why adding Workday benefits existing and new customers This announcement marks Rimini Street’s recent recognition as a Workday Application Management Services (AMS) Partner The designation has fueled the new Rimini Manage™ for Workday services offering enterprise IT teams using Workday Financials “As a global company that also leverages Workday solutions Rimini Street is pleased to offer other organizations our ultra-responsive providing an alternative to the complexities of directly managing Workday-knowledgeable staff delivering significant cost efficiencies and greater operational leverage from their Workday investment,” said Seth Ravin “Today we serve more than 300 clients who also leverage Workday and have helped Workday customers with a variety of needs With the launch of Rimini Manage for Workday clients can achieve better business results with their Workday investments.” Rowe said the company targeted Workday partly because many of its customers have already migrated to the popular HR platform Rimini Street saw an opportunity to add new service lines for customers with Workday on their transformation roadmap and then we can manage and optimize their software so they can focus on other goals,” Rowe said Rimini Street is now positioned to support the more than 1 million enterprises worldwide that rely on SAP in addition to the new Workday offering and various other SaaS solutions The company’s Smart Path process addresses similar challenges across the ecosystems of those large vendors.  Rimini Street supports clients in their end-to-end needs “The age of monolithic ERP from a single vendor is over The reality is that it is much more plug-and-play from various vendors and tools today,” Rowe said “The big players can’t get value out quick enough and businesses are much more likely to take advantage of integrations and connections today.” Rowe says the company does not belong to large partner program groups or participate in reseller incentive programs leaving Rimini Street available to provide advisory services to organizations “We sit on the side of the customer more than anything and that means we can help them with vendor-agnostic solutions that address their challenges with the technology they already have,” Rowe said Rimini Street’s foundational mission is to enable organizations to get more out of their existing tooling and budgets and then help them re-allocate those resources to fuel innovation and drive growth “The goal is to help make the CIO and their team heroes,” Rowe said “CIOs we talk to have a laundry list of projects the business wants We want to give them back time and money so they can innovate and tackle that list.” Many organizations turn to MSPs to support their technology goals.

The private beach club where 41-year-old Bakary works is one of scores that share Rimini’s 10-mile-long lungomare (seafront). The aesthetic may not be to everyone’s liking; from a distance, the columns of kaleidoscopic parasols look like a kitsch military rally.

But like many Riminesi, Bakary is eager to stress that this is more than simply a resort town. And the message, he says, is getting through. “These days, people come for the beach — then they discover Rimini.” The richness of the Roman legacy has created challenges for urban developers over the decades. “This is a city with what we call high ‘archaeological risk’.
