(*Source: Forrester - “The Total Economic Impact™ Of Red Hat Technical Account Managers”, three-year, risk-adjusted present value (PV) quantified benefits for a composite organization described as a global financial services company with $5 billion in annual revenue and 20,000 employees.)
We have such a close relationship with our TAMs that they are considered part of our team, aligned with our business priorities and advising us on areas of improvement and finding solutions to drive us to success. They help us plan and implement solutions that maximise the availability of Telefónica's systems
Working with our Technical Account Manager gives us confidence in knowing a problem will definitely be solved. Instead of just opening a ticket, he provides a single point of contact between Red Hat and our teams. It’s good to have someone who really pushes to find solutions.
