Today, Rimini Street provides support to clients operating in more than 100 countries, including hundreds of database clients and many thousands of database instances worldwide, and serves clients with database architectures that range from single global instances to large, complex landscapes that include thousands of mission-critical instances.

“We are pleased to welcome Hyundai-Kia Motors to our fast-growing Rimini Street family of global and Korean clients, and we look forward to working together in the years ahead as their trusted partner for mission-critical software support,” said Seth A. Ravin, CEO and chairman of the board, Rimini Street. “Hyundai has achieved its strategic objectives with a switch to Rimini Street support.
