Red Hat Enhances Global Partner Engagement Program

Chris Fernando July 23, 2025 1 minute read

Red Hat has announced updates to its global partner engagement experience, aiming to provide greater

simplicity, choice, and flexibility for its partner ecosystem. These enhancements are part of Red Hat’s
ongoing transformation efforts in response to shifts in the technology landscape, particularly

breakthroughs in AI and virtualization.

Red Hat states that its partner ecosystem is crucial in assisting customers with IT modernization and

navigating emerging opportunities. The transformation is supported by three key enablers: a globally
unified partner program, streamlined partner incentives, and an enhanced digital experience.

A significant update is the launch of the Red Hat Specialized Partner Program, which was previously
piloted as the Partner Practice Accelerator. This program is designed to drive enhanced industry

recognition for validated partners and provide clearer pathways for partners to develop and showcase
skills in high-demand areas critical to customer success.

Dr. Stefanie Chiras, Senior Vice President, Partner Ecosystem Success, Red Hat, commented, “We’re
excited to launch the Red Hat Specialized Partner Program, formerly piloted as Partner Practice

Accelerator, to drive enhanced industry recognition for validated partners and provide clearer pathways
for partners to develop and showcase skills in high-demand areas that are critical to customer success.
