Red Hat Summit“Ampliamos o número de profissionais próximo a 100% e, além disso, nossas soluções estão presentes cada vez mais no core business dos clientes, o que demonstra a confiança que eles depositam em nós”, diz Alejandro Chocolat, country manager da Red Hat Brasil.
De acordo com o executivo, esse resultado é fruto de investimentos, de profissionais preparados que entendem as necessidades dos clientes e oferecem a solução adequada e do contínuo trabalho junto a clientes e parceiros, de canal e de OEM.
A subsidiária brasileira vem se tornando um dos mercados internacionais de maior expansão para a companhia e vem experimentando um expressivo crescimento nas verticais Governo, Finanças, Telecom e Serviços. Para comportar o aumento da operação, a Red Hat Brasil se mudou em 2007 para um escritório de 600 m2, localizado no Itaim Bibi, bairro nobre da capital paulista.
O bom momento da companhia também é demonstrado por estudos de mercado. A pesquisa nacional “Tendência de Investimentos e Utilização de Software Livre nas Empresas Brasileiras”, realizada pelo Instituto Sem Fronteiras (ISF) no final de 2007, apontou a Red Hat como o fornecedor mais adequado para o uso de software livre, com 46% e a distribuição mais utilizada em servidores, com 43% de penetração de mercado. Foram entrevistadas 1000 empresas de pequeno, médio e grande porte dos mais variados segmentos.
