What Is IBM Micro Outsourcing?
26 July 2025 - 2 Minute Read
Not every business needs or wants a full IT outsourcing solution. Many organisations run just one or two IBM Power Systems with IBM i or AIX operating systems and want to keep managing the rest of their IT infrastructure in-house.
That’s where IBM Micro Outsourcing from Baby Blue IT & Consulting fits in. We provide expert support for just your IBM environment, nothing more, nothing less.
It’s perfect for companies who want to retain control over their wider IT while filling a critical IBM skills gap with specialist support.
Who Is It For?
IBM Micro Outsourcing is ideal for organisations facing:
- A retiring or departing IBM specialist
- Frequent sickness or absence of their IBM technical lead
- A lack of internal knowledge around IBM i or AIX
- A situation where non-IBM staff are “making do” with minimal expertise
- Risk from incomplete backups, poor patching, or unknown system health
If your IBM systems are critical to your business, but your in-house team doesn’t have the time or skills to manage them fully, this service can fill the gap—reliably and affordably.
What We Deliver
For less than half the cost of a single employee, Baby Blue IT provides:
- 24x7 system monitoring and alerting
- Daily backup checks and restore readiness
- Security hardening, patch management and firmware updates
- On-demand IBM i and AIX support
- Regular service updates and cost transparency
All while your internal team continues to manage your Windows, Linux, and network environments.

We help you avoid downtime, strengthen system security, and reduce long-term risk, without the disruption or expense of full IT outsourcing.
