The Red Hat Partner Program is a multi-tiered partner model designed to assist partners in developing open source practices around Red Hat infrastructure and middleware solutions.
“Axe Group have been working closely with the Red Hat team here in Australia for many years, and we are pleased to be recognised as one of Red Hat’s most skilled JBoss partners delivering solutions and services based on the JBoss platform today” said Kimberley Lathe, CEO of Axe Group.
Axe’s Axelerated Solutions division provides the Axelerator Insurance Platform, the first Adaptive STP system for automation of New Business, Claims Management and Insurance Services. Axelerator provides one-touch and personalized process execution, with smart handling of exceptions to enhance an Insurer’s competitive advantage. A single platform manages all channels with accessibility via the web, kiosks or offline laptops.
