Technology leadership for manufacturers and distributors
Where downtime is measured in dollars per minute.
Manufacturers run on systems their vendors understand better than they do: an aging ERP, shop-floor equipment on unsupported operating systems, and an MSP that handles laptops but goes quiet when the conversation turns to OT. Meanwhile customers demand EDI, insurers demand security controls, and every unplanned outage lands directly on margin.
What we see in manufacturing & distribution
The ERP nobody owns
Heavily customized, past end-of-life, and priced for a seven-figure replacement, with every vendor recommending their own platform. You need an independent read before signing anything.
IT/OT no-man’s-land
Production equipment and business systems increasingly share networks, but no one owns the seam. That seam is where ransomware gets into plants.
Compliance rolling downhill
Customer security questionnaires, CMMC, cyber-insurance requirements: obligations arriving faster than a lean IT team can absorb them.
How we help
Independent ERP guidance
Selection, negotiation, and implementation oversight from someone with no stake in which platform wins.
A security program sized for a plant
Pragmatic segmentation and controls that satisfy insurers and customers without stopping production.
Roadmaps tied to margin
Technology investments sequenced by operational impact: uptime, throughput, and cost per unit, not shiny objects.
