BBVA is a Red Hat Innovation Award 2018 winner !

Today, BBVA was announced as one of the Red Hat Innovation Award 2018 winners !

BBVA is a customer-centric, global financial services group based in Spain. BBVA chose to make Red Hat technology a key piece of its new cloud platform.  BBVA built its platform using several solutions, including Red Hat OpenStack Platform, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite.

You can ready the full success story here.

As a result, we have been working very closely with them over the last year, and very excited to see all of that hard work showcased here! I have a presentation on Thursday with BBVA on this topic, see if you are attending Red Hat Summit, hope to see you there !

[If you're not attending, I recently did a presentation + demo at bpmNEXT about our cloud strategy as well, so if you're interested in the topic, hope this might be useful as well]

Red Hat Summit in San Francisco 2018 (May 8th - 10th)

This year, Red Hat summit is again in San Francisco, and I'm excited to be able to attend again.  We're kicking off today, but I personally have a presentation on Thursday afternoon (co-speaking with a customer on our BPM cloud strategy), and a jBPM Birds of Feather session on Wednesday with Maciej (where anyone can just walk in to come and talk or ask questions), but more about that later.

We're kicking off with the keynotes.  If you're interested, you can watch the keynotes live at https://www.redhat.com/en/summit/2018 (or in replay later). This first keynote already includes a live demo (by Burr Sutter and team) showing a true hybrid cloud (combining private and public cloud).

And an awesome extra: this year Business Optimizer (Optaplanner) is used for scheduling all the different sessions, and got a honorable mention by Jim Whitehurst during his keynote. 

"It really is a fenomenal tool!"
Jim Whitehurst - Red Hat President and CEO

 Business Optimizer is part of our Red Hat Process Automation Manager product (formerly known as Red Hat BPM Suite).  Congratulations to the team!

 

This year has record attendance (7.000+), a ton of breakout sessions (325) and even more opportunities to talk to the experts directly.  If you are around and would like to talk, we'll be happy to see you in one of our sessions !  There's quite a few people from our team here, to try and help you with whatever questions you might have.
