Rimini Street, Inc., a global provider of end-to-end enterprise software support, managed services and Agentic AI ERP innovation solutions, has announced that Silicon Labs has selected the company as its long-term strategic partner to maximize the value of its SAP ECC 6.0 investment. With this partnership, the U.S.-based semiconductor leader will gain extended SAP maintenance and professional services designed to speed up modernization efforts without the high costs or operational disruptions typically associated with major ERP upgrades.
Radhika Chennakeshavula, CIO of Silicon Labs, emphasized the impact of this collaboration, stating, “Rimini Street frees up critical resources, fast-tracks innovation and provides expert support across our global operations, giving us the flexibility to modernize on our own terms and timeline.”

Partnership Reduces Technical Debt and Accelerates Transformation
Silicon Labs initially engaged Rimini Consult, Rimini Street’s professional services arm, to shape a strategic ERP roadmap. This engagement soon evolved into a major multi-system initiative aimed at aligning 12 SAP environments with modern operating system and database standards. As a result, Silicon Labs significantly reduced its technical debt by boosting platform stability, enhancing security and compliance, and enabling faster, real-time reporting to support more informed executive decisions.
Reflecting on the successful execution, Chennakeshavula noted, “Rimini Street not only delivered outstanding results for our SAP project, but we were also able to go live ahead of schedule, working side by side with our team to ensure success from start to finish.” She further added that their current SAP ECC system continues to generate strong operational value, allowing the company to build new capabilities around its core without the cost and disruption of transitioning to RISE with SAP. “I prefer to make impactful investments of our people, time and money to harness the full power of the latest AI technology rather than a low-ROI platform upgrade,” she said.

Strong Results Expand the Partnership
The impressive outcomes of the initial project led Silicon Labs to solidify the relationship with a five-year Rimini Support agreement for SAP. This extended partnership immediately delivered a 50% reduction in annual support costs and provided access to additional offerings such as Rimini Watch, an alternative to SAP Solution Manager that aligns with Silicon Labs’ innovation-driven growth strategy.
Chennakeshavula highlighted the deepening trust in the partnership, stating, “Rimini Street is more than a service provider. They are now a trusted, long-term partner that respects our strategic direction, aligns with our vision and delivers real value.” With confidence in Rimini Street’s ERP expertise, Silicon Labs plans to expand the relationship further by integrating new Agentic AI ERP innovations.
Jeff Chenevey, Rimini Street’s VP of manufacturing industry solutions, expressed pride in the collaboration, saying, “We are proud to serve as a strategic partner to leading manufacturers such as Silicon Labs, helping to build a stronger, more secure operation that is agile in its ability to adopt the latest technology without lengthy migrations or replatforming.” He added that Rimini Street’s holistic approach ensures clients receive comprehensive support for current needs while fast-tracking future capabilities.
