Members of the BlueTech technical team joined colleagues from IBM Systems & Software at the King Fahd Palace Hotel in Dakar, Senegal, to offer partners an overview of new solutions on the horizon. The meeting was the one of the first face-to-face events in the francophone African countries for the industry since pre-COVID days.

The event, on September 20, was aimed at IBM Partners in Senegal with others coming from Burkina Faso, Mali and Guinea. In the morning session, the IBM team presented about power and storage systems, followed by a session on data AI from IBM and on security by Lynn Aoude, Pre Sales Consultant from BlueTech. The afternoon period was completed by a presentation on IBM TSS (services).
