BYRON CENTER, Mich., July 7, 2026 — Relion Solutions today announced the official launch of the company, an IBM Business Partner specializing in IBM Power Systems, IBM Storage solutions, IBM i software, hardware and software maintenance, professional services, and managed support. The company serves organizations across North America that rely on IBM Power infrastructure to run mission-critical operations.
Founded by Heather Dinho and Richie Palma, Relion Solutions was established to meet growing demand for experienced technical guidance, responsive support, and long-term strategic partnership within the IBM Power ecosystem.
Across industries such as manufacturing, distribution, logistics, healthcare, financial services, retail, and technology, IBM Power Systems continue to serve as the operational backbone for many organizations. As businesses navigate evolving infrastructure requirements, modernization initiatives, workforce challenges, and increasing demands for operational resilience, access to trusted IBM Power expertise has become more important than ever.
Relion Solutions was built to help organizations confidently address those challenges through a combination of technical excellence, proactive support, and customer experience centered on accountability and responsiveness.
“IBM Power continues to run some of the world’s most important businesses,” said Heather Dinho, Co-Founder of Relion Solutions. “The technology isn’t the challenge. Finding a partner who responds, follows through, and treats your business like it’s their own is. Richie and I started Relion Solutions because we knew customers deserved better. We built the company around the things we believe matter most: technical expertise, responsiveness, accountability, and long-term relationships.”
Relion Solutions provides IBM Power Systems and storage solutions, IBM i licensing and subscriptions, hardware and software lifecycle management, infrastructure modernization, system migrations and upgrades, disaster recovery and business continuity solutions, managed administration services, recovery readiness testing, and strategic consulting and assessment services. Together, these offerings help organizations optimize performance, improve operational stability, reduce risk, and maximize the value of their IBM Power investments.
“Technology is essential, but long-term success is built on trust and relationships,” said Richie Palma, Co-Founder of Relion Solutions. “Organizations want a partner who understands their business, brings deep technical expertise, and is committed to helping them solve challenges, not just sell products. That’s the approach we bring to every customer engagement.”
The launch of Relion Solutions comes at a time when many organizations are reevaluating how they support critical IBM Power workloads and seeking experienced partners capable of delivering both technical expertise and operational reliability.
Relion Solutions is currently onboarding customers and expanding partnerships throughout the IBM Power community.
