Tailored IT solutions that keep your operations running smoothly, securely, and compliant.
Modern manufacturers rely on a complex web of operational technology (OT), enterprise software, and production data to maintain efficiency and competitiveness. As these systems evolve, the role of IT has become central to performance, safety, and compliance.
ITAssurance specializes in managing the unique IT demands of manufacturing companies, including hybrid infrastructure, legacy system support, and cyber-physical security. Our services are engineered to improve uptime, secure mission-critical assets, and align your operations with both business and regulatory goals.
Manufacturing environments present a distinct set of challenges that go beyond standard IT service models. Unlike traditional office settings, manufacturing operations include legacy systems, floor-level automation equipment, SCADA interfaces, and high-availability requirements that demand industry-specific IT strategies.
Key IT Challenges Faced by Manufacturers
| Challenge | Description |
|---|---|
|
Downtime Risks |
Unplanned outages caused by network failures or system misconfigurations directly impact production schedules. |
|
Legacy Infrastructure |
Outdated equipment and software often require custom support and integration with modern systems. |
|
OT/IT Convergence |
Production and business systems must work together, but often lack standardization and integration. |
|
Cyber Threats Targeting ICS/SCADA |
Attackers increasingly target unpatched or exposed industrial control systems. |
|
Regulatory Pressures |
Compliance with frameworks such as NIST 800-171, CMMC, and ISO 9001 is increasingly mandated. |
|
Resource Constraints |
Internal IT teams are often stretched thin and lack specialized knowledge in industrial IT systems. |
We offer a comprehensive suite of managed IT services tailored to the needs of manufacturing companies. From fully managed support to collaborative co-managed solutions, we ensure the stability and security of your technology environment while driving operational efficiency.
Our services are built to meet manufacturers where they are—whether you’re upgrading legacy systems, enhancing cybersecurity posture, or expanding into cloud-based platforms. We provide both the strategic planning and technical execution needed to keep your business moving forward.
