Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery
Your manufacturing business generates an enormous amount of very important and confidential data. Server crashes, weather related natural disasters, power outages and hacker attacks can all take down vital network systems.
- Easily and securely backup client records for whenever they need to be accessed or retrieved to protect against an unexpected outage or server failure.
- Significantly reduce the time it takes your business to recover from any event that causes downtime.
Do you have a Business Continuity Plan (BCP)?
We can help you put a BCP in place and address the following concerns that directly impact your business:
- Identify what critical data is currently unsecured and ensure that it gets secured and properly backed up
- Guide you in selecting the right security solutions for a layered approach, based on your type of data and your specific compliance requirements.
Cloud Services
Today, manufacturers are already benefiting from the cloud. They use mobile reporting, online dashboards and automation. However, the use of the cloud in this production sector can go even further.
As a manufacturing organization, you are increasingly compared to competitors and you face huge challenges that the cloud is ready to take on, including regulatory and compliance requirements, the introduction of big data, a pressure to innovate rapidly, a global marketplace, security, increase accuracy, process speed and much more.
The benefits of cloud in the manufacturing sector include reduced costs, rapid deployment, greater innovation, increased flexibility and improved security.
Overall Reduced Costs
After moving to the cloud, organizations use hardware that is managed, monitored and maintained by the cloud computing provider. Additionally, much of the up-front capital costs are replaced by lower, predictable operational costs, as businesses use a pay-as-you-go or subscription model in the cloud, which can be adjusted at any time. Manufacturers will undoubtedly see savings in IT labor, operating, space, computing resource, administrative, and management costs.
Quick Deployment and Innovation
Setup for production infrastructure can happen in a matter of minutes or hours, instead of the weeks that are typical with traditional solutions. This rapid deployment supports quicker responses to dynamic demands from around the globe that manufacturers constantly face. Our implementation team is squarely focused on making this process as seamless as possible.
Operational Flexibility
It’s clear that operational flexibility is extremely important for manufacturing organizations. With the immense scalability that cloud computing offers, manufacturing companies can easily and quickly free up the resources they need to accommodate demands. As demand fluctuates, it’s easy to scale or provision new capabilities. Cloud computing also makes it possible to access, use and share secure data from any location, on any device, at any time. This means employees around the globe can easily participate in remote operations by accessing centralized data and workflows, as well as collaborate with ease while avoiding travel and security issues.
Fully Optimized Security
The cloud makes it possible for manufacturers to extend their existing security model into the cloud and add to it. Additionally, cloud security prepares an organization for multiple threats through authentication, authorization and encryption on both the application and infrastructure levels. Cloud providers know that security is a top priority for the organizations they work with, and therefore have made it their own priority as well. Providers have the resources to hire security experts and dedicate personnel, time and money to client security. This is more than a manufacturer is able to do for itself, so more often than not, these organizations experience greater security after moving to the cloud.
