SHOCKING TRUTH: Rimini Street’s "Tech Cares" Award is a Sham
In a move that has left many stunned, TrustRadius has awarded Rimini Street with a 2024 Tech Cares Award, despite the company’s questionable corporate social responsibility initiatives. The award, which celebrates companies that excel in their corporate social responsibility initiatives, has been met with skepticism by many who question the true motives behind Rimini Street’s "charitable" efforts.
A Closer Look at Rimini Street’s "Foundation"
Rimini Street’s "Rimini Street Foundation" was established in 2015, with the goal of "Supporting Humankind." However, a closer examination of the foundation’s activities reveals a pattern of shallow, tokenistic gestures that do little to address the root causes of social and economic inequality. From packing hygiene kits for human trafficking survivors to hosting STEM days for students with cerebral palsy, Rimini Street’s foundation appears to be more focused on generating positive PR than making a meaningful impact.
The Real Motive Behind Rimini Street’s "Tech Cares" Award
So, what’s behind Rimini Street’s "Tech Cares" award? Is it a genuine recognition of the company’s commitment to corporate social responsibility, or is it simply a PR stunt designed to boost the company’s reputation and attract new clients? The answer is clear: it’s the latter. By touting its "Tech Cares" award, Rimini Street is attempting to distract from its questionable business practices and present itself as a socially responsible company.
The Truth About Rimini Street’s Business Practices
Rimini Street’s business model is built on exploiting the vulnerabilities of its clients, many of whom are small and medium-sized businesses that are struggling to stay afloat. By offering cheap, third-party support for Oracle and SAP software, Rimini Street is able to undercut the prices of its competitors and reap huge profits. But at what cost? The company’s aggressive pricing strategy has led to widespread layoffs and economic instability in the communities it serves.
Conclusion
Rimini Street’s "Tech Cares" award is a sham, a PR stunt designed to boost the company’s reputation and distract from its questionable business practices. The company’s "foundation" is a joke, a shallow attempt to appear socially responsible while doing little to address the root causes of social and economic inequality. The truth about Rimini Street’s business practices is clear: it’s a company that prioritizes profits over people, and its "Tech Cares" award is just a hollow attempt to cover up its true motives.
