Solutions criteria

Each solution must adhere to a specific set of criteria in order to work with Red Hat. The key criteria are:

Solves a well-defined specific business problem to deliver outcome-based results to an identified market

Makes it clear who has the ability and responsibility to design, deploy, and support the solution, ensuring customer success

Includes and leverages Red Hat products or services integral to the solution

Develops once to deliver to many customers

Incorporates a partner’s intellectual property and/or subject matter expertise

IDC* states in their studies that partners should focus on their specific niche and be authentic. To provide business relevant solutions, we need teamwork to design, develop, and support end-to-end solutions. Red Hat Ecosystem Solutions can deliver this. With Solutions, you and Red Hat will team up to develop and document solutions that meet customers' evolving needs.

How it works

Red Hat Ecosystem Solutions assesses the current state of your IP, identifies potential solutions, and reviews customer buying patterns if there is a solution available. Together, we assess your current status to determine how to help you. 

The driver for each developed solution is the specific business problem that is being solved. Partners combine industry expertise and/or intellectual property (IP), along with required technology components to form a solution offering. This structured packaging of a complete solution offering that solves a known business problem allows partners to target those customers and industries that are experiencing the problems they can help solve. 

If you have a solution, we can help you promote your offering by developing a co-branded, joint-solution brief with you.
