This was a joint webcast with IDC Thursday July 25, 2013 presenting the results of their updated Red Hat Satellite ROI study. "Based on in-depth interviews with Red Hat Enterprise Linux users, Tim Grieser, program VP of system management software for IDC, will present a quantitative assessment of benefits - including business value and return on investment (ROI) - gained by using Red Hat Satellite to reduce costs while delivering high service quality to end users."

This ROI study is based on data gathered from structured in-depth interviews with representatives from 10 IT organizations that are using Red Hat Network Satellite Server to manage Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments. Based on this study, the IT organizations experienced strong positive returns on their investments, yielding an average 338% ROI over a three-year period - over three times the initial investment.
