A new governance solution for AI agents
Rimini Street made a major announcement at a technology conference in Las Vegas, unveiling Rimini Govern for AI, a fully managed service that gives companies complete oversight into how artificial intelligence operates within their organizations. The solution is part of an increasing demand for tools that allow businesses to manage the growing complexity of AI as it becomes more widespread in daily operations.
The company claims that Rimini Govern for AI empowers firms to lower the operational risks associated with AI while maintaining a clear understanding of how their AI systems perform and what costs are incurred. The service works by monitoring all workflows, ensuring that only activities that have been approved take place, and using expert AI engineers available 24/7 to intervene when necessary, offering real-time support.
Addressing enterprise-scale AI risks
One significant issue many organizations face is the phenomenon known as 'shadow AI,' where various departments independently deploy AI tools without centralized management. Rimini Govern for AI aims to tackle this challenge by enforcing strict security and governance standards, creating a consistent approach that applies across all business units and systems.
Seth Ravin, CEO of Rimini Street, emphasized that the company brings more than two decades of experience in supporting mission-critical IT systems globally. He noted that this includes work with public sector and military clients who require top-level security clearance, giving Rimini the unique ability to handle AI governance in high-stakes environments.
A response to growing governance concerns
Research from Gartner indicates a troubling trend: by 2027, nearly half of businesses may decide to disable or remove autonomous AI tools due to governance failures that only surface after problems occur. Rimini Govern for AI is positioned to help companies avoid such issues by offering tools that analyze and resolve issues at their root, minimizing disruptions and maintaining system stability.
The service is structured around a three-phase deployment model, beginning with a planning stage where clients collaborate with Rimini Street experts to evaluate their AI goals and readiness. This is followed by the implementation phase, where secure access is configured, and finally, the ongoing operations phase, during which all AI activities are continually monitored.
During the planning phase, Rimini Street offers a complimentary AI Readiness Assessment and Strategy and Roadmap workshops led by enterprise architects. These sessions help clients understand their current status and define a clear path forward. The implementation stage then ensures secure configurations are in place, while the operations phase keeps everything running smoothly.
Rimini Govern for AI is designed to address the 'control gap' many companies face between the potential of AI and their ability to manage it effectively. It brings together governance tools, deep knowledge of enterprise software, and global 24/7 managed service capabilities to give organizations the confidence they need to scale AI use securely and efficiently.
The new offering is part of Rimini Street’s broader Rimini Govern portfolio, which is focused on governance, risk, and compliance solutions. With the service, companies can measure return on investment from AI, track performance metrics, and manage costs. The platform also ensures compliance with security policies and provides detailed audit trails to maintain visibility and accountability.
By offering a centralized control plane, Rimini Govern for AI enables businesses to monitor workflows, detect unauthorized activity, and enforce compliance throughout the organization. This helps organizations maintain control over AI-driven processes and reduce the risk of operational disruptions.
According to R “Ray” Wang, CEO of Constellation Research, companies are in urgent need of solutions that provide a centralized framework for managing, securing, and assessing AI at scale. He said that when such a framework is combined with strong enterprise software support, extensive AI knowledge, and global managed service capabilities, organizations gain the tools they need to adopt AI quickly and effectively.
Rimini Govern for AI is now available for organizations seeking to operationalize AI with both speed and confidence. The service is delivered via Rimini Street’s Global Command Centers, where expert engineers work around the clock to provide support and ensure AI systems operate as intended.
