Red Hat

Red Hat is the world's leading provider of open source, enterprise IT solutions.

More than 2 decades ago, Red Hat had a spark of an idea—a vision for developing software differently. We believed that collaboration with an ecosystem of IT leaders, open source advocates, developers, and partners could create a better foundation for the future of IT—Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®. But that was just the beginning.

Today, we deliver a comprehensive portfolio of secure products and services using the same open, collaborative business model and an affordable, predictable subscription model.

And Red Hat is hiring! Visit jobs.redhat.com for more details.

Imper

Imper delivers new B2B opportunities and customers thanks to smart data and artificial intelligence.

Smart data are not static databases, but up-to-date information, which will tell you who your customer is and help you to find more. They are able to determine who has shown interest in your products or services and even who needs them currently or is going to need them. They can measure what brings in new customers and what, on the other hand, does not. The purpose of our data is not to look for or create a customer’s interest, but to measure and identify their needs and whether they are being met. Thus we do not only provide data, but actually also new opportunities.

Thousands of companies build their business and marketing on our data. We deliver high-quality information which can become the foundation of your company’s business and marketing as well.
