Institute of Directors Graduation 2024
23 October 2024 - 1 Minute Read
This week, Lee Bailey, our founder and a business growth consultant at Baby Blue, celebrated his graduation in London, becoming a Chartered Director. The extensive IOD training and exams he has completed since 2018 have been invaluable. Lee has offered consulting services to various businesses, and with the inception of Baby Blue IT & Consulting, these services are now accessible to IT Managed Service providers and IT Services business owners.
Baby Blue also provides a range of IBM i and IBM AIX services, granting companies using these technologies a significant edge in negotiating new IT Managed Services contracts with suppliers. Moreover, as an IBM Business Partner, Baby Blue is collaborating closely with IBM on new AI solutions and aids customers in reverting to genuine IBM maintenance support for the upkeep of any on-premises IBM technology. This ensures they maintain all the security and software updates they miss out on when using third-party maintenance support.
We would like to learn more about your business to identify potential areas where we could be of assistance.
