Par-Tec S.p.A. is an Italian technology partner with over 20 years of experience guiding enterprises, mid-market organizations, and public sector institutions through complex technology transformations. Headquartered in Milan with offices in Rome, Par-Tec operates at the intersection of deep technical engineering and business process understanding–combining certified expertise with a genuine commitment to client autonomy and long-term capability building.
As a Red Hat premier business partner since 2005, Par-Tec has been at the forefront of open source enterprise adoption in Italy. The company was the first in Italy to obtain the Red Hat specialization in cloud infrastructure, and has maintained a consistent presence at all major Red Hat events–a record spanning fifteen editions. Par-Tec's delivery teams work alongside Red Hat on complex implementation engagements, bringing engineering depth and certified expertise to every phase of the project lifecycle.
Core areas of expertise include:
Cloud & infrastructure – Design, implementation, and management of hybrid and multi-cloud environments based on Red Hat OpenShift, Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. Par-Tec has delivered Red Hat OpenShift-based architectures for critical national infrastructure, including a geo-distributed multi-region bare metal deployment for Italy's sovereign cloud (PSN) built on Hypershift and integrated with Portworx enterprise storage.
DevSecOps – As a GitLab Select Partner and Professional Services Partner, Par-Tec supports organizations in building secure software delivery pipelines, integrating security at every stage of the development lifecycle. From CI/CD automation to supply chain security, Par-Tec's DevSecOps practice bridges platform engineering and application development.
Cybersecurity – A dedicated cybersecurity practice focused on Zero Trust architecture, identity and access management, vulnerability management, and compliance with European regulatory frameworks including NIS2 and DORA.
Artificial intelligence – Implementation of AI-powered platforms on Red Hat OpenShift AI, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures, multimodal knowledge bases, and enterprise automation with Ansible Automation Platform and related tooling.
Financial services – A specialized vertical serving regulated financial intermediaries, trading platforms, home banking systems, and compliance-critical environments, including regulatory reporting and supervisory compliance under Banca d'Italia and ECB frameworks.
Par-Tec is part of the Par-Tec Group, which also includes Lightstreamer – a globally adopted real-time data streaming platform used by organizations such as Morgan Stanley, NASA, and eToro.
Par-Tec's approach is defined by three principles: vendor neutrality (no lock-in, technology decisions driven by client requirements), engineering depth (certified professionals who work daily on production environments), and client empowerment (the goal is always to increase the client's own capabilities, not their dependency).
