Blue announces partnership with Pioneer Technology to form Blue Pioneer Consulting

Top 75 Firm Blue and Co., based in Indiana, and Tennessee-based IT solutions provider Pioneer Technology announced a strategic partnership under the name of Blue Pioneer Consulting.

The collaboration is focused primarily on cybersecurity and IT support services to clients, through an approach built around stewardship. Blue Pioneer Consulting offers cybersecurity, IT support and assessments, as well as other technology consulting services. The joint venture will utilize the expertise of more than 50 IT consulting experts, all based in the U.S. and available 24/7.

“We are excited to further solidify our legacy of bringing innovative and cutting-edge solutions to our clients,” said Brad Shaw, managing director of Blue & Co., in a statement. “Our values of being responsive, caring, advocates are what guide us when we evaluate new opportunities that better serve our clients’ needs, and this partnership with Pioneer Technology will allow us to leverage our combined expertise to deliver unparalleled value to our clients and their businesses.”

“Cyber events over the last two weeks have proven the importance of having the right technology partner in your corner,” said Adam Lloyd, CEO of Pioneer Technology, in a statement.

News of the new venture comes after Blue & Co. launched Blue Value Advisors, a business advisory and exit planning service line to be led by Sara Jacobi, Walt Eckert, Eric Jaske and John Copeland, at the beginning of this year. That is also when the firm hired Randy Smith as its new chief information officer (see previous story).
