Keep production running, protect your data and get IT support that understands the shop floor.
Manufacturers can’t afford downtime. A failed server, a ransomware attack or a dropped network connection on the shop floor stops production and costs real money.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do manufacturers need managed IT services?
Production depends on IT more than ever, from ERP and stock systems to design files, email and the network that connects machines. Managed IT services keep those systems monitored, patched, secured and backed up, so problems are caught before they stop production.
Can you work around our production schedule?
Yes. We plan maintenance, upgrades and installation work around your shifts, including out-of-hours work when needed.
Can you help us meet customer security requirements?
Yes. Many manufacturers now face security questionnaires from customers and suppliers. We put the right controls in place and help you answer them with confidence.
Do you support manufacturers outside Oldham?
Yes. We support manufacturers across Greater Manchester and the North West, with remote support between visits.
