TORONTO, Aug. 27, 2019 /CNW/ - Converge Technology
Solutions Corp. ("Converge" or "the Company") (TSXV:
CTS) (FSE: 0ZB) (OTCQX: CTSDF) is pleased to announce that
the Converge family of companies have been named as Red Hat Premier
Partners, and have been selected by Red Hat, Inc. to join their
Apex Partner Program. As part of Red Hat's partner ecosystem,
Converge has demonstrated that it is an expert business partner
with a significant focus on Red Hat related projects. Red Hat
Premier Partners are well trained and highly committed to working
closely with Red Hat on business opportunities.
As a member of the program, Converge will leverage new and
innovative technologies that enable clients to achieve business
goals that require the implementation of cloud services. In order
to become a member of the Apex Partner Program, a company must
support clients across the three pillars of Red Hat's business:
hybrid cloud infrastructure; cloud-native development; and
automation and management. Collectively, with more than 2,300
individual partner certifications across such solution areas, Red
Hat Apex Partners are enabled to become trusted advisors to
customers along their business transformation journey.
"Converge is well positioned to roll out Red Hat's multi-cloud
enabling solutions across North
America," said Shaun Maine,
Chief Executive Officer of Converge. "Our relationship with Red Hat
has been heavily influenced by our acquisition of Lighthouse and
Greg Berard's outstanding work in
growing Lighthouse's Red Hat revenue in 2018. As President of
Converge, Greg Berard has been
tasked with advancing the Company as a software enabled Hybrid IT
Provider."
Mr. Maine continued, "We have already witnessed Red Hat
contribute a growing portion of our software revenue base, and we
expect this collaboration to add to that base moving forward. As we
continue to help businesses along their cloud journey, the Red Hat
Apex Partner program will play a key role in allowing our customers
to enable multi-cloud solutions through Ansible and OpenShift
regardless of their cloud platform."
D. Martin, Vice President of North America Partner Sales added, "Red Hat's partner
ecosystem is a vital component in delivering powerful, flexible and
open solutions, to global enterprises. We're pleased to have
Converge as an Apex and Premier Business Partner, and look forward
to delivering open innovation to our joint customers with
them."
