Helping Clients Manage COVID-19 Specific Challenges

Rimini Street’s Global Product Delivery (GPD) team also won a Stevie Award for Customer Service Team of the Year in the 2021 ABA. The GPD team is made up of hundreds of professionals around the world responsible for building tax, legal and regulatory (TLR) updates to support the TLR requirements for Rimini Street global clients operating in 126 countries.

In a period dominated by COVID-19 special government legislation, TLR updates were often unexpected and urgent due to the tax and payroll changes made across dozens of countries, which added to the critical importance and complexity of the work. During this period, the GPD team delivered a total of nearly 90,000 individual updates in 2020 across 58 countries - a 40% increase over the previous year - and which included more than 6,000 pandemic-related TLR updates to clients in 42 countries.

“We are humbled and honored to be recognized once again with prestigious Stevie Awards for our commitments to innovation, client service excellence, expansion, growth and giving back to a global community with so much need for assistance,” said Seth A.
