Manufacturers run on ERP, uptime, and systems most IT generalists have never touched. I have run Sage ERP and MAS 90/200 for multi-site manufacturers for two decades — and recovered one from a ransomware attack in two hours. Strategic IT direction for Oklahoma manufacturers and distributors.
In most plants, the systems that matter most have no owner above the help desk. Here is what changes when they do.
Manufacturing IT fails quietly. The ERP runs, the line moves — until the day it does not, and you find out no one was actually steering.
MAS 90, MAS 200, Sage, or a newer platform — it touches every order and dollar, yet strategy for it lives nowhere.
Shop-floor systems and corporate IT were never designed to coexist safely. Attackers love that seam.
Most plants have a backup. Far fewer have a tested recovery plan that gets production running again on a known clock.
This is a rare fit. Most IT consultants have never touched the systems your plant depends on. I have run them — for decades, across sites.
Two decades running the ERP and shop-floor systems manufacturers and distributors actually depend on, across 7 locations in 5 states — including an M&A integration.
In 2020 a ransomware attack hit a business I ran IT for. Because the backups were air-gapped and the plan was real, we were back in two hours — not the weeks most firms lose.
I sit above the support layer and own the decisions that keep the plant running and the business defensible.
A real roadmap for the platform that runs your business — upgrades, integrations, and license optimization, with the business case attached.
Close the gap between the shop floor and corporate IT with segmentation, access control, and a risk register leadership can act on.
Tested backups and a recovery plan with real objectives — so a bad day is a checklist, not a crisis.
ERP, MSP, and software vendors held accountable; identity and productivity done right across every site.
Let us put a strategy around the systems your production depends on. A free discovery call for Oklahoma manufacturers and distributors.
