In the dynamic landscape of managed services, Blue Hill Data Services stands out for its unwavering commitment to delivering tailored solutions to each client. As the industry faces challenges with a shrinking workforce for legacy environments, the importance of Remote Support for Business IT Environments cannot be overstated. Blue Hill recognizes this necessity and continues to excel in providing essential support to its clients.

Blue Hill Data Services recently added 4 new mainframe and midrange system remote support services clients. Each client is from a different industry. These organizations selected Blue Hill because of its knowledge, flexibility, and the fact it delivers all its mainframe and midrange system remote services from its On-Shore USA team.

Remote support services are a quick, low risk, and cost-effective way to address the growing problem caused by the surging retirement of employees with Mainframe and iSeries expertise. Within 60 days of initial contact, most clients can transfer mainframe and mid-range tasks to Blue Hill’s team. The services supplement the client’s remaining staff by providing full-time, part-time support, or coverage for a single shift.

This frees an organization’s remaining staff to work on important business projects while Blue Hill remotely manages the legacy systems. Blue Hill remotely supported clients receive a primary resource as well as backup resources cross trained on their environments. These backup resources are ready to step in when additional coverage is needed.

Two of the new clients were particularly impressed by Blue Hill’s flexibility and mainframe expertise. One is a leading software and IT services provider, while the other is a state-owned public transportation system. The third new client, a large non-profit organization, required fully managed remote support services from mainframe experts based in the United States. Blue Hill’s 100% Onshore USA services fulfilled this need, providing timely support for its z15 Mainframe. The fourth new client, a book publisher with an AS/400 system, chose Blue Hill for its iSeries expertise and US-based services. The culture of Blue Hill and its employees was also an important quality for these clients. Blue Hill was the right fit for mutually beneficial partnerships.

Blue Hill Data Services is proud of its capabilities and enhanced offerings, ensuring that clients receive unparalleled support and guidance. Blue Hill combats the retiring workforce challenge through initiatives such as hiring younger staff who pairs off and trains with experienced staff members, further education through certifications, courses, and attending conferences. Through these initiatives Blue Hill has become an epicenter for companies to come park their IT environments and let Blue Hill maintain and monitor it.
