Today, IBM Consulting is excited to announce the opening of the inaugural Innovation Hub powered by Red Hat at IBM’s Client Innovation Center in Bengaluru, India.

Clients across the globe can now experience the benefits of Red Hat technologies at the new Innovation Hub, designed to provide a state-of-the-art experience to help our mutual clients accelerate their enterprise transformation through hybrid cloud and AI.

The Innovation Hub powered by Red Hat is more than just a space—it's a catalyst for imagination, innovation and co-creation. In collaboration with Red Hat, it brings together IBM Consulting’s deep industry expertise and the power of Red Hat’s open source technologies to help organizations scale with AI, automation, and hybrid cloud solutions.

Rob McMahon, Red Hat’s senior director for Global Software, Services and Integration Partners shared his excitement for showcasing Red Hat’s solutions to clients, noting: “Red Hat is pleased to collaborate with IBM Consulting to participate in their Client Innovation Center for customers to experience the benefits of Red Hat’s industry-leading technologies first-hand.”

IBM and Red Hat technologies at client’s fingertips

With the guidance and expertise of IBM consultants, the innovation hub provides clients with hands-on access to Red Hat technologies, helping them address unique pain points and business needs to support their digital transformation. The goal: to deliver better value across the client’s IT stack by learning more about hybrid cloud, application migration and modernization, generative AI, virtualization and automation.

For visiting clients, our team can uniquely showcase Red Hat solutions and capabilities through a client-led lens, based on real-world use cases. We’re excited to provide customers with the ability to experience Red Hat solutions first-hand so they can evaluate the technology and tools needed to help accelerate their business transformation. Clients can also work alongside IBM consultants to better understand how our experts can architect and support Red Hat implementations within their organization. Ultimately, we want to help our clients understand the value and impact of using Red Hat within the enterprise, with the goal of realizing an increased return on investment in a competitive business environment.

McMahon also acknowledged the value both organizations deliver to help clients on their digital transformation journey, saying: “By combining IBM Consulting’s deep expertise with Red Hat’s open hybrid cloud capabilities, we are enabling customers to achieve better business outcomes and modernize for the next generation of IT.”
