Welcome

to the new EMEA Red Hat Partner Program. As you are aware the market demand for open source solutions continues to expand. Red Hat looks forward to partnering with you in oder to provide superior solutions to your customers. Whether your focus is on operating systems, middleware or services, you will find open source opportunities with Red Hat.

To further enable our partners to position themselves as leaders alongside of Red Hat, we will evolve our channel strategy to accomodate the significant growth of market share in EMEA. The Red Hat Partner Program is designed to achieve this goal, and the Red Hat Partner Center makes it easier than ever to manage your membership. You can develop your company’s expertise, access go-to-market materials, identify sales opportunities and much more.

As a first step into creating a unified umbrella program for all partner types, we have completed the program definition and integration of Red Hat Linux and JBoss SI partners, with Red Hat and JBoss ISV and Training Partners to follow in a second step of the roll-out of the new partner program.

The Red Hat Partner Program is the foundation of the relationship between you, the marketplace experts, and Red Hat, the world's leading open source company. Red Hat views you as an extension of our sales team, playing an integral role in our go-to-market strategy and overall success. Our goal is to offer a partner program uniquely suited to enable our partners to develop successful open source practices.

The EMEA Partner Program follows a modular approach in which you start as a Red Hat Ready Partner. As soon as you meet the defined qualification criteria, you may apply to ascend to higher membership levels and specializations.
