Red Hat has announced the acquisition of Amentra. Amentra will be run as an independent Red Hat company and in most respects will operate the same as it did prior to the acquisition.
In February, live from JBoss World Orlando, Red Hat announced an initiative called Enterprise Acceleration. This initiative includes programs, products and services to accelerate corporate IT adoption of open source middleware reference architectures based on JBoss Enterprise Middleware. The acquisition of Amentra allows us to complement the JBoss Enterprise Middleware portfolio and strengthen our middleware services strategy. This customer solution-oriented approach allows us to focus on meeting enterprise needs and on service for the dynamics of SOA in enterprise environments. Amentra has specific technology and product expertise in SOA and JBoss Enterprise Middleware, as well as a mentoring curriculum. Amentra will work cooperatively and complement our other partners' efforts.
Amentra is a recognized industry leader in producing successful solutions through standardized processes and strong client partnerships. Amentra offers mentoring and engagement models on full-service SOA, business process management, systems development, enterprise data solutions and more. Amentra experts can help with any phase of a project, from needs assessment and recommendation to full lifecycle implementations. By mentoring and motivating customers' staff to embrace and manage new technology, Amentra's approach is intended to ensure that customers have long-term success. The customer's IT staff and Amentra consultants collaborate toward a common goal. Customers get the new systems and technologies they need, while the staff gets the new technical skills and confidence they require.
Fortune 500 clients choose Amentra for many reasons, including their unique "mentoring" model, 100% full lifecycle process, high value and collaborative partnerships. Other awards and recognitions:

Amentra's service focus complements Red Hat's product focus in the middleware market. Also, Amentra provides value through collaboration, which is at the heart of the open source software model. Both Amentra and Red Hat supply customers with value in their business and IT shops. And have rich partner ecosystems to facilitate collaboration for customer-oriented solutions.
Amentra is a certified JBoss systems integrator, so a partnership was already established. Red Hat and Amentra share some commercial partners. Red Hat will continue with its partnerships and Amentra will continue to work with its partners to provide value to customers through collaboration.
Red Hat and Amentra existing customers will all continue to receive the industry-leading products and services that have made both companies strategic enterprise partners in the past. This acquisition will provide existing Red Hat customers with a world-class service offering through Amentra that will help accelerate enterprise projects including SOA, BPM, strategy and integration while accelerating the adoption of the JBoss Enterprise Middleware platform. With Amentra as an independent Red Hat company, customers will continue to receive all of the value-added benefits that they receive today with much greater depth and breadth of capabilities, geographic coverage and ability to further accelerate their adoption of industry-leading process and technology into their enterprises.
