Next-generation OpenStack platform
The value of a cloud-native application platform Featuring a Forrester Total Economic Impact analysis
How do you justify investments in new, cloud-native application platforms while maintaining existing infrastructure and tools? In this episode, Red Hat and our guest speakers from Forrester will discuss how to approach business value assessments of modern platforms. We’ll look at the Forrester Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) methodology and share customer examples from Red Hat’s experience. In this panel discussion, we’ll also take a detailed look at the commissioned Forrester Consulting study, “The Total Economic Impact™ of Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus”. We’ll share data collected from customer interviews, showing how a composite organization was able to achieve a 203% return on investment (ROI) in 3 years by increasing developer productivity, reducing costs, and decreasing risks.
