MANAGED IT SERVICES FOR MANUFACTURING COMPANIES
Our experience providing managed IT services to Manufacturing Firms uniquely positions us to keep key systems running 24/7, reducing expenses and driving the firm’s profitability.
Manufacturing companies have unique challenges. Before engaging with Core Managed, we’ve seen manufacturing companies struggle with a variety of issues such as:
- Compliance (NIST, ITAR, ISO9000, ISO/TS19449, ISO 27001, OQE “Objective Quality Evidence”)
- Inventory Tracking
- Managing capital projects to upgrade on premise servers
- Order Management
- Warehouse Management
- Complicated setups including VPN and terminal servers
Many of the manufacturing companies we have met do not have a proactive strategy around IT. They don’t know what they have, and they don’t have a plan. They need a roadmap to align technology with business goals.
Core Managed provides just that. Our vCIO team conducts a quarterly audit to identify risks, vulnerabilities, and problem hardware. They meet with you to bring you the items that matter most.
Your manufacturing company can not only have a plan, but also peace of mind. What this means to you is that you can focus on growing your firm and serving your clients because you have a comprehensive IT strategy that scales.
In addition to long range planning provided by a dedicated vCIO, our manufacturing clients enjoy rapid response to help desk issues.
