Many Samsung customers still struggle to bring their businesses to the mobility space, according to Robin Bienfait, chief executive innovation officer for Samsung Business Services.

“Leveraging the platform that Red Hat offers will allow us to bring that back end to the end user in the mobility domain,” she told theCUBE cohost Stu Miniman during Red Hat Summit 2015.

Delivering the next generation of mobile solutions for the enterprise

The two companies formed a strategic alliance, with Red Hat, Inc. to deliver the next generation of mobile solutions for the enterprise.

“We really embrace the open source community,” said Bienfait. “This strategic alliance helps us embrace the ecosystem that Red Hat brings to the table with their developer community. We see it as a way for innovation to be brought into the enterprise and the enterprise to consume that innovation.”

“With Samsung’s philosophies of using Android and its participation in some of those endeavors, there’s already a good match and synergy for us working together,” added Craig Muzilla, Red Hat senior vice president, Applications Platforms Business.

With the help of Red Hat, Samsung plans to offer business applications, a developer ecosystem, support services and business collaboration.
