What LODES Consultores does

LODES Consultores, S.A. de C.V. is a Mexico City-based IT consulting and value-added reseller founded in 1991, operating primarily as an IBM Premier Business Partner with 13 cumulative Premier-level recognitions. The firm serves medium and large enterprises across Mexico with IBM enterprise technology solutions spanning infrastructure, software, and cybersecurity.

The company's portfolio centers on the resale and implementation of IBM's enterprise technology stack, including IBM Power11 servers for hybrid on-premises/cloud deployments, IBM Planning Analytics for financial planning, IBM Storage with the Predatar data recovery solution, the IBM Bob workflow optimization tool, and observability solutions for operational resilience. It also promotes Red Hat cybersecurity offerings and distributes Toshiba commerce technology. A dedicated AI-powered Cybersecurity Kit bundles ransomware protection, instant recovery, and high-speed data recovery using AI-driven anomaly detection, though the underlying AI capabilities originate from IBM and Red Hat rather than LODES-developed technology.

LODES generates revenue through three streams: one-time license resale of IBM hardware and software, professional IT consulting and implementation services, and recurring subscription revenue from cybersecurity solutions. Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales via phone (+52 55 5280 2100) and email ([email protected]) with a growing digital marketing footprint comprising solution-specific landing pages for IBM Bob, Planning Analytics, Observability, and Power11, supported by a presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. Headquartered in Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico City, the firm operates with a small team of 11-50 employees and does not disclose revenue, funding, or ownership structure.
