Red Hat opens SA office
The company’s move to open a local office has been spurred on by strong demand for open source skills and methodologies, both in the public and private sector, Red Hat says.
Paul Holt, EMEA regional director at Red Hat, says the move to bolster Red Hat’s presence in SA has been a long time coming.
"Red Hat has reached a stage in its lifecycle where it is ready to expand into emerging markets with an on-the-ground presence. Similarly, we believe the SA market has matured sufficiently for Red Hat to warrant a local investment," he explains. "It was simply a matter of getting the timing right," Holt says.
"Customers and partners are having to deal with a wider array of products and solutions from Red Hat than ever before," Holt says.
