Red Hat training produces real results

Red Hat training produces real results An ESG study1 found that participating in Red Hat training can deliver several benefits including:

Fewer hours spent per IT task: Customers interviewed for this analysis reported that their employees who have undergone Red Hat Training were between 25% and 50% more efficient in completing day-to-day IT tasks.

Improved time to value for new hires: Interviewed customers shared that their time to value for new hires was between 4 and 6 months, depending on the level of the employee. During that time, the new employee was only 50% as effective as they would be at their one-year mark. When incorporating Red Hat Training as part of their new hire experience, their rate of effectiveness raised up to 77% during their new-hire period.

Increased IT employee retention rates: ESG’s analysis and financial model showed a reduction in IT turnover from 15% down to 13% when organizations adopted a structured program to invest in Red Hat Training—a reduction that results in annual savings of US$1.5 million.

Increased infrastructure output: Customers reported that their Red Hat-trained employees were able to get more out of their Red Hat infrastructure. Deployments were not only twice as fast; they were also better configured, which allowed organizations to raise their hardware utilization rates and have a higher level of assurance of their security posture. ESG’s financial model showed a benefit of 15% in better server utilization after Red Hat Training.

Decrease in support costs: ESG’s model quantified that, after Red Hat Training, there was a 20% reduction in tickets generated, and a 32% reduction in time to remediate tickets.
