Suntory, a beverage and food manufacturer , has hired Rimini Street ‘s professional services, Rimini Consult , to accelerate the launch of Comado, a mobile app for Suntory Wellness members . Rimini Street Japan announced this on August 14. Since 2021, Suntory has been using Rimini Support, a third-party maintenance service, for systems such as Oracle Database , reducing annual product maintenance costs by 50%. Amid growing interest and investment in the health industry, the company is rapidly implementing innovative initiatives to support people’s health, and Comado is one such initiative
. According to Takuro Yamashita, a specialist at Suntory System Technology , the Suntory Group’s IT division, Suntory was launching multiple strategic app development projects at the time, and implementing them required expanding the development environment for its existing systems. However, the company’s internal IT team was already working on other priority projects and lacked resources. Furthermore, the board of directors had mandated the app be released within four months, creating a very challenging situation.

Therefore, Suntory consulted with Rimini Street from the early stages of the project. The goal was not only to secure the technical knowledge, but also to secure the human resources necessary to complete the project on time. Yamashita said, “Thanks to Rimini Street, we were able to focus on this important project.” Rimini Street’s engineering and professional services teams quickly deployed additional development and QA servers, building three new development environments in four months. All the while, Suntory‘s Oracle system maintained stability and security. Yamashita added, “Most consulting firms present their own schedules, but Rimini Street asked for ours.” He continued, “This project had to proceed under very strict conditions, but Rimini Street always worked closely with us and met our needs throughout the entire process. As a result, we were able to release the app on schedule while maintaining quality and without purchasing any additional products.”
