Frequently Asked Questions from Manufacturers Like You
How does managed IT actually reduce downtime on the production floor?
We monitor your systems around the clock and fix problems before they stop your line – instead of after. Less downtime means more output and higher profitability.
Can you support our ERP system?
We manage everything your ERP systems run on – the servers, the network, and the backups, so it stays fast, secure, and online when your team needs it. While we are familiar with ERP systems, we don’t build or program the software. We work with different vendors and organizations to ensure their systems are up and running.
Is cybersecurity really a concern for manufacturers in West Michigan?
Yes – 1 in 4 global cyberattacks target manufacturers, and they are often the easiest targets because they don’t have dedicated security staff and have a lot of vulnerable information. Ransomware doesn’t care; it just needs a way in.
How do I know if we're ready for managed IT?
If you don’t have a dedicated IT person, your team is losing time to tech problems, you’re worried about cybersecurity, or your staff hasn’t had training on how to spot a threat – you’re ready.
If your shop floor and office systems are disconnected or running separately, that’s lost time we can get back for you.
