Manufacturing

Manufacturing IT looks different from most other industries we work with. A dropped connection in an office slows people down; a dropped connection on a factory floor can stop a production line - which is why manufacturers often run 24x7 support SLAs built around shift patterns, not standard business hours. Much of the estate isn't laptops and standard servers but industrial PCs and shop-floor equipment running specialized, sometimes older software that can't simply be patched on a normal refresh cycle, so upgrades and migrations have to be planned around production windows instead of IT convenience.

Bridging that operational reality with modern, secure, cloud-based IT, without ever putting the plant floor at risk, is the challenge we keep coming back to. Across our manufacturing engagements, our experience clusters into a few broad domains.

Data Center Consolidation & Migration

We've taken manufacturers from over a hundred fragmented local data centers down to a single, standardized global platform, rationalizing the estate and moving to consumption-based pricing for full cost transparency along the way. Where data residency law requires it, we've kept specific workloads and data in-country while still centralizing everything else. And we don't assume cloud is always the finish line — for one manufacturer, we managed a deliberate shift back from cloud to on-premises VMware infrastructure when that better matched their cost and control needs.

Cloud Platform & Security Engineering

We design the landing zones and reference architecture blueprints that let a growing manufacturer's cloud footprint stay compliant, scalable, and consistent by default, covering identity and access management, monitoring, and security from day one. Alongside that, we build the Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) security frameworks that keep multi-cloud environments audit-ready and free of configuration drift as they scale.

Enterprise Workplace & Identity Modernization

For manufacturers spread across dozens of sites, we've built the identity and authentication backbone supporting hundreds of thousands of daily logins and thousands of integrated applications, alongside device migrations that brought tens of thousands of endpoints onto a current, supported OS in a matter of months.

Program, Vendor & Operations Governance

Transformations at this scale rarely fail on technology - they fail on coordination. We step into exactly that gap: defining missing delivery processes, building a real documentation baseline, fixing escalation and ticket-routing issues, and getting client, vendor, and partner teams communicating on the same page again, so large, multi-vendor data center, cloud, and workplace programs actually land on time.

These are the domains where our manufacturing experience runs deepest - and where we can help your team move through the next stage of transformation without losing control of the plant floor.
