Red Hat announces the winners of A/NZ Partner Awards at Red Hat APAC Partner Conference

Yesterday, we wrapped up our first ever virtual Red Hat APAC Partner Conference 2020.  Thank you to everyone who attended, I hope you found the sessions and content insightful and valuable. And a huge thanks to the many A/NZ partners who contributed to making this event successful.

Red Hat's partners play an integral role in our go-to-market strategy and continued overall success, and we understand how important these strategic partnerships are in solving customers’ complex business needs. As customers use and adopt Red Hat technologies to address the challenges created by the disrupted business environment we are all operating in, Red Hat’s partners continue to provide trusted guidance and expertise to assist them in not only making sound technology decisions, but also successfully implementing those solutions to allow customers to achieve and exceed their business objectives and goals.

To celebrate our partners, yesterday we also announced the winners of the A/NZ Red Hat Partner Awards 2020, ahead of the APAC partner awards announced at the Partner Conference. These awards honour our partners for their continued contribution to the open source ecosystem, and their amazing efforts in solving customers’ challenges in the rapidly changing environment. 

We realise this year has been particularly challenging as the world grapples with a pandemic that is, and will forever change the way we live and work. These current challenges are unfamiliar and new to all of us, including our customers. While we don’t profess to have all the answers, we know as Partners we will find them, together. Because we have time and again proved that we are ‘Stronger Together’.

Excitingly for me, I have been fortunate enough to have had a front row seat, working with our amazing Red Hat team and our talented Red Hat partners, as we’ve together demonstrated repeatedly how our technology can be an enabler to help overcome or  mitigate the challenges of the pandemic and the environment it has created.  

Our A/NZ award winners lead our growing partner ecosystem by prioritising customer success, leading innovation and growth, and establishing industry best practices that drive the cultural change needed to accelerate digital transformation. The winners are selected based on their commitment to innovation, dedication to driving change with open source, and demonstration of collaborative and transparent working ecosystems.

Huge congratulations to this year’s winners.
