ServiceSource®¨ (NASDAQ: SREV), the global leader in recurring revenue
management, today announced that it has expanded its relationship with
Red Hat, the leading provider of open source solutions. Since 2010,
ServiceSource has managed software renewals across five strategic
business segments and four global regions for Red Hat. During this
period, ServiceSource has doubled its recurring revenue opportunity
under management. As part of today’s announcement, Red Hat has enlisted
ServiceSource to now manage renewals across their public sector business.
Today, driving consistent revenue growth through recurring revenue and
maximizing customer retention requires a relentless focus on customer
success across every phase of the customer lifecycle. Working with
ServiceSource over the past four years, Red Hat has fostered strategic
customer relationships by demonstrating value across its high volume
customer base – ultimately helping boost renewal and customer retention
rates. ServiceSource has also empowered Red Hat’s channel partners with
actionable insights into renewal opportunities.
“In today’s economy dominated by the cloud, subscriptions and
pay-per-use models, customers have many options and can churn at a
moment’s notice. As such, Red Hat has placed a relentless focus on
maintaining high levels of customer engagement, satisfaction and
retention across its customer base,” said Essam Bahsali, director of
Global Renewals, Red Hat.
“ServiceSource’s experience, and best practices and results have played
a key role in our customer success and engagement with channel partners,
making them a logical choice to now manage our public sector business,”
said Paul Smith, vice president and general manager of North America
Public Sector, Red Hat.
“Red Hat has become the world’s open source leader by demonstrating
value to its customers across every stage of the lifecycle – spanning
acquisition, onboarding, adoption and renewals,” said Jay Ackerman,
ServiceSource Head of Worldwide Sales and Customer Success. “Working
with ServiceSource, Red Hat is well-positioned to focus on new sales
opportunities while expanding recurring revenues from existing
customers.”
