Retain your IBM i team and service continuity while Fresche takes responsibility for employment, payroll, and day-to-day management.
IBM i staff rebadging services are the structured transfer of your existing IBM i employees to Fresche, where they continue in their current roles under our management.
You keep workforce continuity and operational stability while gaining the benefits of a managed services model.
When your IBM i team knows the environment well, replacing them is rarely the first choice. Rebadging lets you keep that knowledge in place while Fresche takes on the employer and management role.
The people who understand your systems, workflows, and business context keep supporting the environment.
Fresche handles payroll, benefits, performance management, and compliance.
Your staff gains the backing of Fresche’s broader IBM i bench when extra depth or coverage is needed.
Defined service levels, reporting, and governance help everyone stay aligned on priorities and performance.
Moving a team to a new employer needs to be handled carefully. Fresche follows a structured process that supports employees, keeps services on track, and gives you clear visibility from day one.
We align on the transition plan, governance model, responsibilities, and communication approach so everyone knows what to expect.

IBM i staff rebadging services are usually worth looking at when you have good people in place and do not want to lose them, but you also do not want to keep carrying all the employment and management responsibility internally.
It can make sense when:
You want to keep the team that already knows your systems and business
HR ownership, payroll, and people management need to move off your plate
You need deeper IBM i coverage without starting over with a new team
Change is happening in the business, but day-to-day support still has to hold together
IBM i staff rebadging services involve the structured transfer of your existing employees to Fresche, where they continue performing their current roles under our management. You keep your people and service continuity while gaining the benefits of a managed services model without the disruption of wholesale outsourcing.
The process begins with stakeholder alignment, governance planning, and employee communications. Fresche then extends employment offers, confirms compensation and benefits, and works with your team on knowledge transfer, system access, and operational handover. On the agreed transition date, Fresche assumes operational and HR responsibility for the rebadged staff, followed by a joint post-transition review.
Traditional outsourcing often replaces the existing team with a new one. Staff rebadging keeps your current team in place and transfers employment and day-to-day management to Fresche. This helps preserve institutional knowledge, maintain operational continuity, and reduce disruption during the transition.
