Red Hat training and certification allowed us to accelerate the adoption curve for new platforms and technologies.
This transformation was challenging in terms of both technical and cultural changes. We were introducing new concepts like containers and microservices. Red Hat provided us with the right tools to overcome these challenges. Their attitude and willingness to work with us to adjust the technical design of our new architecture created a human partnership that was key to our success and the results we’ve achieved.
We want to be up to date on current technology and be aware of emerging technologies. Red Hat training supports our efforts to present our skills and knowledge to customers and prospects. We use Red Hat OpenShift and Linux® to provide an efficient, flexible technology platform for our customers.
Our networks can only be as good as the team managing them. This is why at StarHub, we invest in the development of our people.
Systems change and get updated. Somebody who has certification can be counted on to have the latest knowledge ... A staff member with Red Hat Certification has more value than somebody who does not ... certification gives us the assurance that they have the skills we are looking for.
