Micro Outsourcing for IBM i, AIX & z/OS

Specialist Support Without Full IT Outsourcing

Not every business wants, or needs to outsource their entire IT environment. But many are facing gaps in IBM skills, especially with IBM i (OS/400), AIX, or z/OS systems. That’s where Micro Outsourcing from Baby Blue IT & Consulting steps in.

We provide dedicated IBM expertise to manage just your IBM estate, without touching the rest of your IT. Whether you’re trying to cover the retirement of an IBM specialist or shore up critical systems that generalist IT teams are struggling to maintain, we offer a smart, flexible solution.
