DELIVERING VALUE SO YOU CAN DO MORE

The CIO Insight Vendor Value study asks the questions on the minds of many CIOs today: Are my vendors delivering value? Are they reliable? If I had a choice, would I continue doing business with them?

For the fourth-straight year, IT executives said Red Hat delivers more value than any other software vendor. And for the third time in four years, Red Hat ranked number one overall.

LOWERING COSTS.

MEETING COMMITMENTS.

With capital costs continuing to grow, CIOs and IT executives are looking for more ways to get more return on their investment—and to use that savings to provide better service. To innovate. To speed time to market.

Red Hat is providing an answer.

It starts with using Red Hat open source solutions to lower costs— taking advantage of technology and services that provide greater flexibility and choice. This allows organizations to balance the pressures of meeting service demands with limited resources.

But it's also about delivering service that organizations can trust. Meeting commitments on time and on budget.

The study rates IT vendors on eight key criteria—covering value, reliability, and loyalty. In seven of the eight criteria, Red Hat ranked in the top five.
