These challenges are most often associated with rising costs, risky supply chains, and local/offshore competition that make it difficult to achieve growth and success.

The Benefit of Managed IT Services For Large-Scale Manufacturing firms Manufacturing companies, be they large or small, have some unique aspects of their business that make them a different kind of business from others that rely on a managed service provider. With programs like Syspro, manufacturing project planning and procurement of materials are unique to that industry and would require a MSP that is dedicated to the manufacturing industry. Manufacturing companies do use typical IT software and hardware for standard office tasks and accounting functionality. What really sets this industry apart, however, is how collaborative it is. Workflow does follow traditional paths such as design, construction and testing. There is also a role played by industry compliance and security in all aspects of the industry. When it comes to manufacturing companies, not all MSP’s are created equal. You need one that can specialize in the manufacturing industry and has your best interests at heart. Some things to look for are:

• Access to highly trained and specialized staff.
• Supporting the technologies that run your critical core applications such as estimating, accounting, project management, document management and scale management.
• Extensive experience with supporting software such as Sage, Syspro, Microsoft Dynamics GP, and QuickBooks.
• A MSP that provides Mobile Device Management (MDM) and remote access solutions that allow your team to have access to anything, anytime and from anywhere.
• Affordable and comprehensive services, such as standard IT solutions, to go along with the specialized services.

Any good MSP will do a few basic things for every type of industry, but these things are just as important to the Manufacturing industry as to the construction industry or any other. You want one that will be available when you need them as well as one who is up to date on current technology. Hiring an outside IT company will save you money. Having IT in-house means paying them a salary and possibly benefits and 401k. Hiring an outside company negates the salary and 401k, which becomes the problem of their company not yours. We’re the trusted partner businesses choose when they want to maximize their investment in information technology. There is no catch or gimmick, just experience and expertise businesses throughout Toronto trust.
