Rimini Street reports CFOs push back on SAP upgrade mandates
CFOs resist SAP upgrade pressure

Rimini Street reports that chief financial officers are increasingly resisting the notion that immediately upgrading SAP systems is the only viable path forward.

After spending years stabilizing ERP investments and achieving reliable, low-risk operations, many finance leaders now face renewed calls to restart major capital investments. This push for upgrades comes amid concerns about risk, cost, and the necessity of undertaking another transformation cycle.

Earlier this year, Rimini Street reported growth and momentum in its core support business segment following its fiscal Q1 2026 results. A recent survey from the company found that 47 percent of IT leaders delayed innovation, while 53 percent turned to AI providers outside their primary vendors according to IDC research. These findings highlight changing priorities among technology and finance executives.
