Our IBM Lenovo Story

Blueprint Technologies Australia started life as Tech-Write Services. In 1993 Ron Llewellyn left a career in the insurance industry with a high level of self taught information technology skills and started Tech-Write Services with his wife Anya. Ron’s initial concern was to build a company which would substitute his previous income.

Tech-Write initially sought to provide only independent information technology consulting services to mostly small and medium sized companies. This singular focus soon proved not to be possible as the clients Tech-Write acquired were often asking Ron to supply the computer systems detailed in the proposals prepared by Tech-Write.

Ron’s initial decision to begin selling IBM computers was initially based out of a need to ensure he wasn’t run off his feet by hardware issues which he would need to support in-house. When seeking a computer supplier Ron’s selection of IBM was based around several key factors:

  • IBM at the time was the largest personal computer company in the world.
  • IBM had been producing high quality personal computers since 1981. Click here for more information from the IBM History website.
  • Warranty support from IBM is second to none. Our experience with IBM warranty support has proven time and time again to our clients, the value of their warranty.

Once Tech-Write became an IBM Business Partner the formula for success had been completed. Tech-Write services was able to offer end to end products and services to meet a company’s information technology needs.

In 2001 the organisation was also restructured and became Blueprint Technologies Australia. The name reflected both a new era for the company as well as our commitment to the IBM brand.

In 2005 IBM's Personal Computing Division was taken over in a landmark acquisition by the Lenovo Group. IBM and Lenovo now have a strategic alliance designed to give customers preferred access to IBM's world-class customer service organisation and global financing offerings enabling Lenovo to take advantage of IBM's powerful worldwide distribution and sales network. Through this long-term relationship, customers will receive the best personal computing products with the lowest total-cost-of-ownership and the same high quality design, production and support.

Our success has been built around the IBM name. We use IBM computers almost exclusively in house. Our engineers carry an IBM Lenovo Thinkpad in their engineering kits. We run four IBM file servers, one of which was originally purchased in 2000 and is still going strong!

We love our IBM servers & Lenovo personal computer. We know you will too.
