Track 1: Beat the competition and grow your accounts with Red Hat infrastructure migration solutions

According to Gartner, 96% of companies have a digital transformation initiative, and the highest motivation (62%) is for IT optimization projects to save money in order to invest in digital transformation [1][2]. In this session, Red Hat sales associates will learn how the Red Hat infrastructure migration solution can take customers on a journey from their existing, VMware based, infrastructure to open source based infrastructure from Red Hat including RHV, RHOSP and OpenShift, thereby freeing IT budget that can be used to accelerate the customer’s digital transformation journey. We will preview work underway inside Red Hat’s PnT organization that will further simplify converged infrastructure for running and managing virtual machines and containers in a hybrid/multi-cloud world.

Track 3: Why CIOs Need Automation (and Why You Should Sell It)

Because the CIO role is ever more business focused, the tools and technologies that he or she invests in must enable that shift in focus. There is complexity, risk, and manual tasks in both IT infrastructure and how business operates through its processes. Automation provides a significant means of simplifying change, allowing CIOs to focus on innovation.

In this session, we’ll cover the primary reasons why CIOs (or any business leader) should consider Red Hat automation solutions:
Improve customer experience
Faster time to market
Consistent execution and reduced errors
Reduce costs
Improve productivity

But there is something for the salesperson as well - selling Red Hat automation solutions has a positive impact on your bottom line. See how the reasons above feed directly into:
Earning more quota from new and existing accounts
Expand their footprint in existing accounts (Attach the platform!)
Create happier customers

*This session will cover the updated FY20 Automation sales conversation that includes both IT Automation and Process Automation.

Track 5: Transform your existing IT infrastructure and get ready for cloud (Business)

A CIO’s focus on business strategy, and their understanding of how technology can improve business growth and innovation, has a direct impact on their success and their efforts to drive that innovation. Inversely, discounting opportunities to reduce complexity and risk will bring forth disruption to the business far worse than any competitor. Through IT Optimization, Red Hat partners with customers to incrementally and methodically modernize their infrastructure in order to provide operational efficiency. It serves as both the catalyst for change and a means of freeing up critically needed budget for innovation. Using market data and case studies, attendees will learn how IT Optimization reduces costs for customers through:
- Standardization on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Management solutions to address security and risk
- Security policy creation, visibility and enforcement that is consistent across infrastructures
- Executive and user-level reporting for security, governance, and compliance

Selling Red Hat management solutions has a positive impact for sales people as well:
- Earning more quota from new accounts
- Expand their footprint in existing accounts

Track 1: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 : Win the Platform, Control Your Account

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 is your path to ‘winning the platform’ as well as acquiring increased account control. RHEL 8 will be of interest to your accounts regardless of their size or industry. RHEL 8 brings both new capabilities to the table, as well as expands the workloads we are targeting (such as MS SQL Server and SAP HANA).

RHEL 8 is important for your customers: It is the platform that affords them to become more competitive, more efficient, and more secure. And it works across all their platforms - physical, virtual, hybrid cloud, and public cloud.

RHEL 8 is important for you as an AE: It is the platform that drives deals and opportunities. It creates opportunities to cross-sell other products from the Red Hat portfolio and consulting engagements. It is an excellent opportunity to engage your clients in a conversation around RHEL 8, and use it to better understand their future needs and plans.

In this session we will keep it real: No B.S here, no messaging mumbo-jumbo... Just the facts, showcasing best practices in selling RHEL and RHEL renewals.

Track 5: Transforming Enterprises One Integration at a Time (Business)

In digital business, nothing happens until something is integrated. The success (or failure) of a new service or application depends on its ability to communicate with other services, across an infrastructure, in scalable, secure ways. That is the challenge of integration.

IT architectures and priorities have shifted so that legacy, centralized integration approaches are no longer feasible. Business and digital strategies are more rapid and changeable, while applications are distributed and function-based rather than monolithic. Integration architectures must be similarly distributed, iterative, and local. These integration architectures can be based in containers or the cloud, allowing teams to develop and deploy integrations more agilely.

Integration allows customers to make the most of their data, from accessing legacy systems to enabling communication across microservices to allowing real-time business insights. Defining an integration strategy enables customers to execute on their digital transformation strategy and business objectives.

This talk will include:
* An overview of the integration, storage, and other technologies
* Key customer challenges related to integration and our opportunity
* Indicators that integration is a relevant issue for customers or initiatives
* How to approach OpenShift customers about integration
