Bolstering partner enablement and training resources

To support its updated engagement model, Red Hat is investing in making resources,
expertise and open source solutions more accessible to partners to help them operate
more seamlessly with customers. In addition to continuous improvements to partner
certification and credential pathways on the Red Hat Partner Training Portal, and

expanded visibility for co-created solutions in the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog, Red Hat
is offering partners a platform for on-demand product demonstrations, including step-by-
step instructions and talking points for customers.

Red Hat Demo Platform, which will be made available through Red Hat Partner

Connect, will provide product demos that span the entire Red Hat portfolio for partners
to showcase open source innovations with customers in a low-risk environment. The
platform includes multi-product demos and fully scripted workshops that can be used to
deliver one- or two-day experiences for customers. Red Hat Demo Platform will also

grant participating partners early access to demos of new product releases ahead of
general availability.

Red Hat Partner Connect offers a single destination for new and current Red Hat
partners to access these new enhancements and all of Red Hat’s tools and resources to

drive greater customer value and partner profitability. Red Hat Partner Connect makes it
simple for partners to register and log into the partner portal to gain immediate access
to the tools they need to build their business with Red Hat.

Availability

Red Hat plans to launch its updated partner engagement model and programming in the
second half of 2024. Red Hat Partner Practice Accelerator Program is an invite-only

program now open to eligible partners globally. Red Hat Demo Platform is scheduled to
be available in May 2024.
