IT support for manufacturing companies.
Manufacturers run two worlds at once — the plant floor and the office — and downtime in either is expensive. Protecting designs and intellectual property, keeping the ERP fast, securing operational technology, and recovering quickly from ransomware are the priorities. We support manufacturers across IT and OT.
Industry Context
Why manufacturers need IT that understands the work.
Manufacturing has become a top ransomware target because downtime directly stops production and revenue. The challenge is the convergence of IT and operational technology: office systems and ERP on one side, plant-floor controls and machinery on the other, often poorly segmented. Manufacturers also hold valuable intellectual property — designs, formulas, processes — that competitors and nation-states want. Firms in the defense supply chain inherit ITAR/EAR export controls and CMMC/NIST SP 800-171 obligations, and makers of regulated products face data-integrity rules. We build segmented, resilient environments that protect IP and keep production running.
Challenges You Face
The IT issues most manufacturers deal with.
Securing the gap between plant-floor (OT) and office (IT)
Ransomware resilience — downtime stops production
Protecting designs, formulas, and other IP
ERP performance, uptime, and integration
Connecting multiple sites and the supply chain
Software We Support
The tools manufacturers actually use.
We know these platforms from years of hands-on work — not from a Google search.

Compliance That Applies to You
The rules manufacturers have to work within.
These are obligations your business carries. We build IT environments that help you meet them — we don't claim them as our own certifications.
ITAR / EAR export controls
Manufacturers handling defense or dual-use technical data must restrict access under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and Export Administration Regulations.
CMMC / NIST SP 800-171
Defense supply-chain manufacturers must protect Controlled Unclassified Information under NIST SP 800-171 and the CMMC certification program.
Trade-secret & IP protection
Designs, formulas, and processes are protected as trade secrets only if the company takes reasonable measures to keep them secret — including access controls and monitoring.
FDA 21 CFR Part 11 (regulated products)
Makers of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, or food face electronic-records and data-integrity requirements for systems that handle quality data.
