Thank you to everyone who attended this year's Red Hat Summit in Denver! It was an exhilarating few days filled with exciting sessions about open source innovation and Red Hat's enterprise solutions. The Red Hat Services booth was packed with customers and partners sharing stories that underscored the value of Technical Account Management (TAM) in successful Red Hat software deployments, demonstrating how useful it is to have a dedicated expert guiding your technical journey.
If you couldn't join us in person, here are a few of the key takeaways about how a TAM can contribute to your team:
- Expert guidance: TAMs are your personal Red Hat tech gurus. They possess a deep understanding of Red Hat software and best practices, helping you make informed decisions and optimize your infrastructure
- Single point of contact: TAMs help simplify your experience by acting as your sole contact point with Red Hat. This reduces the hassle of dealing with multiple support channels, so your issues can be resolved more quickly
- Proactive support: Our TAMs provide proactive support by helping identify and address potential issues before they escalate, reducing downtime and improving the reliability of your systems
- Customized solutions: TAMs work closely with you to grasp your business objectives and tailor strategies that align with your specific needs, whether it’s designing scalable infrastructure or boosting performance
