True Blue Hybrid Maintenance – Smart Support for Your IBM Hardware
The Right Support, At the Right Time, For the Right Price
For years, businesses have relied on Third-Party Maintenance (TPM) to reduce costs once IBM’s manufacturer maintenance expires. While TPM can be a great option, it no longer provides access to crucial IBM updates—a risk many businesses aren't made aware of.
Without manufacturer updates, you could face:
✔️ Unpatched security vulnerabilities that expose your business to cyber threats
✔️ Increased hardware failures due to outdated firmware and microcode
✔️ Compliance issues that could breach regulations
✔️ Cyber insurance complications if security flaws remain unresolved
So, how do you balance cost savings with risk management?
Introducing True Blue Hybrid Maintenance by Baby Blue
True Blue Hybrid Maintenance is a smarter approach, giving you IBM updates when you need them and cost-effective third-party support when you don’t.

🔹 Identify which hardware needs IBM maintenance for continued updates
🔹 Determine which systems can safely transition to TPM
🔹 Catch up on outdated firmware and microcode to eliminate risks
