RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced it has been named a leader in "The
Forrester Wave™: Mobile Infrastructure Services, Q3 2015" by
Forrester Research, and received the highest score among all vendors for
the strategy category—an assessment of each vendor in terms of its
vision, customer satisfaction, speed to market, and alliances.
Following its evaluation of Red Hat's current offering, strategy, and
market presence, Forrester ranked the company as a leader in mobile
infrastructure services, cited for promoting its "strengths in
enterprise data connectivity, offline synchronization, and an
outstanding vision for the future of the product that is exciting many
clients."
Forrester conducts primary research to develop a list of vendors that
meet its criteria to be evaluated in this market. From that initial pool
of vendors, Forrester then narrows its final list based on product fit,
customer success, and Forrester client demand, and evaluates the vendors
and their products against a set of 112 criteria to determine each
participant's final score.
In October 2014, Red
Hat accelerated its move into the enterprise mobility market with the
acquisition of FeedHenry, a mobile application development platform
provider with a top-ranked
Mobile Backend-as-a-Service capability, and has continued to expand
its presence in the mobile infrastructure services space through its
enterprise mobility vision, continued
enhancements to the Red Hat Mobile Application Platform, and by forging
a strategic alliance with Samsung Business Services.
