Red Hat Mobile Application Platform selected as
reference platform for Telefonica Group operators worldwide
Telefonica reinforces its strategy of deploying
multitenant, multi-operator solutions based on open standards
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, and Telefonica Business Solutions, a leading
provider of a wide range of integrated communication solutions for
the B2B market, today announced an agreement establishing Red Hat
Mobile Application Platform as the global reference platform for
operators within the Telefonica Group to mobilize the business
processes of its customers on their path to digital
transformation.
The Red Hat Mobile Application Platform has been used by
Telefonica in some markets since 2012, completing Telefonica's
Group Enterprise Managed Mobility proposition, as it provides users
an open, agile, and collaborative approach to developing,
integrating, and deploying mobile applications. A collaborative
approach to mobile, enabled by open standards-based technologies
such as the Red Hat Mobile Application Platform, can help
facilitate greater mobile adoption and maturity, as well as reduce
both costs and time to market.
Organizations are increasingly investing in mobile application
development to help transform the way they do business by
reinventing business processes, automating existing processes, and
mobilizing legacy web applications. To match the rate at which
mobile is evolving in the enterprise, and better meet challenges
such as security, scalability, and back-end integration, many
organizations are utilizing multitenant mobile platforms with open
standards, and forming collaborative and strategic mobile centers
of excellence (MCoEs).

we are excited to be a part of their journey.”

“Telefonica's decision to establish the Red Hat Mobile

multi-operator solutions based on open standards. Our aim is to
help expand our ecosystem of application developers, enable them to
reuse code and foster greater cooperation between Telefonica’s
operators around the world.”
