“IDC research consistently shows that Technical Account Managers are highly valued by resource-strapped IT organizations struggling to maximize system performance and availability for demanding end-user customers. In a recent IDC study, Red Hat was identified as a top performer in customer satisfaction across TAM services, particularly for delivering onsite support and for diagnosing and resolving high severity issues. TAMs with a specific focus on these new technologies can help IT professionals looking for specialized support services in increasingly complex IT environments.”
