The company operates the Merlin Lab, which serves as a testing environment where government agencies can evaluate how specific technologies would function within their unique infrastructure environments. Rather than pursuing volume-based partnerships, Merlin Cyber is very selective with whom they partner and represent.“ This is one of the reasons why the US Government trusts Merlin Cyber. Rimini Street is a great example of a company with a solution that we fully support that will help agencies realize immediate cost-savings and achieve operational excellence,” Julie explains.
“ Merlin Cyber represents a focused number of proven partners that we have fully vetted and stand behind.”

Trump administration efficiency focus drives modernization urgency

“ By transitioning IT system support to Rimini Street, agencies can achieve immediate savings,” Julie explains.“ These recovered funds can then be reinvested into cutting-edge technology solutions that enhance both efficiency and security- all without requiring additional appropriations.”
The partnership cites specific examples of cost reduction achieved through their approach. One enterprise client transitioned from a single ERP vendor arrangement, generating savings exceeding US $ 3m annually.
“ The enterprise not only saved meaningful budget on maintenance, upgrades / updates, customization support, and self-support, but because of the transition, they saw dramatically improved response times and improved operational performance,” Julie says.
“ Agencies are under immense pressure to do more – faster, better and more securely— with less budget,” Julie states.
