Manufacturing IT Advisory

Enterprise-grade IT. Without the enterprise headcount.

Fortune 500 manufacturing IT leadership for mid-sized process manufacturers who can't justify a full-time IT director — and can't afford to keep guessing.

Find the real risk. Fix what matters.
The Situation

You know your IT is a risk. You don't know where to start.

Most mid-sized manufacturers run critical systems with no one truly in charge of them. The gaps stay invisible — until an audit, an outage, or a ransomware note makes them everyone's problem.

01

Bus-factor risk

Critical systems live in one person's head. If they leave, you're stuck.

02

Audit anxiety

An auditor asks for a report you can't produce in ten minutes — or at all.

03

OT / IT boundary

A laptop on the wrong port takes down a production line. Office rules don't fit the floor.

04

Aging infrastructure

Hardware and software nobody fully understands, quietly accruing risk.

05

Ransomware exposure

Flat networks, shared passwords, no MFA — the soft targets attackers look for.

06

Too many vendors

Several MSPs and tools, no strategic owner asking whether any of it is working.

"Everything depends on one person. It feels fragile."

"We've grown past our setup but don't know where to start."

"An auditor flagged something and I can't tell if it's serious."
