BAOSS has been an IBM partner since 2014 and is one of IBM’s priority partners in Spain. More than a decade of working together has made us the reference integrator for AI, hybrid cloud and automation projects built on IBM technology. This page explains what that alliance means in practice and why working with us reduces the risk of your next project.
A long relationship, not a label
In the IT consulting market, it is common to see announcements of alliances signed last week. Ours is not that case. BAOSS has worked with IBM since 2014, which means we have been through several generations of products and architectures: from the mainframe legacy systems our banking clients still rely on us for, to watsonx and Red Hat OpenShift, which today are the core of our AI deployments.
That staying power matters more than it seems. A partner that shows up with a shiny new product has not had time to debug its implementations or to accumulate the mistakes that only show up in production. We have lived through the full cycle: supporting legacy systems, modernising applications and now bringing generative AI into environments where the data is not ready. That is the knowledge we bring: not a vendor’s catalogue, but the experience of having solved, in real organisations, the very problems you have in front of you.
Priority partner in Spain
Within IBM’s partner programme, our status is System Integrator and VAR/Reseller/Solution Provider, with certified competencies in watsonx.data and watsonx Orchestrate and active reseller authorisations on IBM Cloud and Red Hat Marketplace. You can verify it directly in the official IBM partner directory, where our proficiencies and authorisations are listed.
Being a priority partner in Spain has one concrete consequence for you: there is an IBM team committed to your project. We do not handle queries through a generic ticket in a global queue. When you contract a BAOSS solution built on IBM technology, there are identified owners on both sides, a shared roadmap and a clear escalation path whenever something needs to be resolved.
Our competencies with IBM
A good technology partner does not sell you a tool; they solve a problem for you. These are the areas where the alliance with IBM allows us to offer something we could not deliver alone.
| Competency | What we solve with it |
| Agentic AI | Autonomous agents and multi-agent systems on watsonx, with human oversight and traceability of every decision. From pilot to production process. |
| Data & Analytics | Data platforms, analytical modelling and watsonx.data to turn scattered data into defensible business decisions. |
| Hybrid cloud with Red Hat OpenShift | Hybrid architectures where your mainframe, your cloud and your modern applications coexist without forcing you to choose. Migration, integration and business continuity. |
| IBM Cloud Paks | Application packages deployed on OpenShift that speed up go-live without giving up control of your data. |
| Automation | Automation of administrative, operational and back-office processes that consume hours of your team without adding value. |
| Cybersecurity | Assessments, hardening, monitoring and incident response, with the security controls auditors come to review. |
| Systems | Modernisation and support of legacy systems, including mainframe, and their stable coexistence with modern workloads. |
The value we bring
Access to IBM technology is not hard: anyone can license it. What is hard is knowing how to make it work inside your organisation. Which data works and which does not, where the limits are, what it costs to run per month and what it takes for it to still be running six months from now — and not just in the demo.
That is the reason an integrator exists: to turn technology capability into business outcome. That is why we measure success by the impact on your operations, not by the hours billed.
BAOSS in figures
| IBM alliance since | 2014 |
| Projects delivered | More than 260 |
| Professionals on the team | More than 70 |

Recognition: BAOSS has been listed among Europe’s fastest-growing companies by the Financial Times (FT 1000), a endorsement of the pace at which we grow alongside our clients.
Sectors where we know the terrain
Technology is one thing; the context of your industry is another. We have worked in finance and banking, the public sector, media and telecommunications, retail and consumer, healthcare and logistics and industry. In many of them we have already solved problems you have not yet encountered, and that knowledge is exactly what cannot be bought on a marketplace.
A project starts with a conversation
If you are considering an agentic AI, hybrid cloud, automation or cybersecurity project, the first step is not a commercial proposal but understanding what you want to achieve. Tell us about your challenge and we will propose the right team and approach, with a no-commitment initial diagnosis.
Let’s talk about your next technology project. Eleven years of alliance with IBM are our guarantee — and our team, the answer.
