IT for Manufacturing Firms That Keeps Production Running and Secure
Managed IT, OT security, and uptime built for manufacturers.
Manufacturers have to keep production moving, secure their systems, and control costs, all while facing labor shortages, rising cyber threats, and compliance demands like CMMC. The risk is not abstract: manufacturing was the most-attacked industry in 2025 for the fifth consecutive year, accounting for 27.7 percent of all cyberattacks tracked across industries. Drawing on more than three decades of experience, IT Solutions Technology Partners provides technology services that help manufacturers streamline operations, stay secure, and scale with confidence.
Addressing IT Challenges on the Plant Floor and in the Office
Manufacturing and distribution operations run on complex,
connected technology, where downtime, a cyberattack, or a
failed audit can stop the line.
We help manufacturers:
Maximize Production Uptime:
Keep large-scale operations running with proactive, 24/7 support and reliable infrastructure built for the speed and accuracy the plant floor demands.
Secure Production Systems and IP:
Protect production environments and intellectual property with cybersecurity built for connected operational technology, not just office IT.
Meet CMMC and Compliance Requirements:
Modernize infrastructure and policies for CMMC and related defense requirements, backed by industry-focused Strategic Advisors.
Protect Against Downtime and Disruption:
Managed backup and disaster recovery keep data resilient and operations continuous when something goes wrong.
Modernize for Industry 4.0:
Support machine-to-machine communication, IIoT, ERP systems, and real-time data with infrastructure that is reliable and scalable.
Control and Predict IT Costs:
Manage spend with predictable monthly billing, lifecycle roadmaps, and cost-effective cybersecurity bundles.

Shannon Global Energy Solutions Develops Robust Enterprise Resource Planning System with the Help of ITS
When Shannon Global decided to streamline its operations by investing in an in-house Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, management knew they did not want a “cookie-cutter” solution. Instead, they wanted to develop a targeted, specialized solution specific to the company’s standards and commitment to quality. Management wanted to fully automate as many business processes as possible and enhance the sales module and quoting system. The solution needed to support new features to facilitate business operations and be flexible to enable future customizations that would adapt the platform to Shannon personnel’s needs.
Built for manufacturers, Total IT Manufacturing provides managed IT, integrated cybersecurity, and expert support from our designated manufacturing team, so you can stay focused on the job. Total IT Manufacturing is available fully managed or co-managed.
Flexible Shop Floor Workstation and User Support Models
Designated Manufacturing Service Desk Team
Integrated Cybersecurity Tooling & Management
Cloud, On-Prem, & Hybrid Flexibility
Manufacturing is the most-attacked industry, and a single incident can halt production and expose valuable intellectual property. We secure production environments and office systems with layered defenses built for connected operational technology, and we support the compliance requirements manufacturers face, including CMMC.
Downtime on the line has an immediate cost. Our managed IT keeps the systems your operation runs on available and supported around the clock, with a responsive help desk and transparent, predictable monthly billing.
Modernizing infrastructure and moving the right workloads to the cloud can improve reliability and support real-time data across sites. From cloud readiness through migration and ongoing management, we plan a secure transition across public, private, and hybrid environments so your systems stay available and protected.
Manufacturers are exploring AI to improve efficiency and gain better visibility across operations, but success requires more than selecting the right tools. Our AI Governance & Enablement Practice helps you securely adopt, govern, and manage AI across your organization, while maintaining control of intellectual property.
Growth, new technology, and compliance demands all shape your IT needs. As an ITS client, you get an industry-focused Strategic Advisor and virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) guidance to reduce technical debt, build customized technology roadmaps, and align IT investments with executive goals.
Standing up a new facility, integrating ERP or shop-floor systems, or migrating off legacy infrastructure calls for careful project work. Our Professional Services team plans and delivers these projects with a client-first process, so modernization happens without stopping production.
How Our Managed IT Solutions Support Manufacturers
Secure, reliable technology for the plant floor and the back office.
Uptime and Reliable Infrastructure
Manufacturing and distribution facilities need highly reliable IT to support large-scale operations. We maximize uptime with proactive, 24/7 support and infrastructure engineered for the accuracy and speed production requires, so the systems behind your operation stay fast and available.
Cybersecurity for Production and Intellectual Property
Manufacturing is the most-targeted industry for cyberattacks, and the risk reaches beyond office data into connected operational technology and valuable intellectual property. We provide cost-effective cybersecurity built to secure production environments, protect IP, and defend the machine-to-machine and IIoT systems that keep the line moving.
CMMC and Compliance Readiness
Many manufacturers supply the defense industrial base, where CMMC and related requirements apply. We modernize infrastructure and policies for CMMC and align controls to the standards examiners expect, with industry-focused Strategic Advisors to guide the process. Our dedicated CMMC program covers this work in depth.
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
An outage or attack cannot be allowed to stop production for long. Managed backup and disaster recovery protect your data and keep operations resilient, so your business continues through disruption.
Strategic Guidance and Cost Control
A dedicated, industry-focused Strategic Advisor helps you align IT with executive goals and build customized technology roadmaps that support growth, compliance, and new technology. Predictable monthly billing and lifecycle roadmaps keep IT costs manageable and planned rather than reactive.
Modernization and Industry 4.0
Complex technology ecosystems need more than basic IT. We help manufacturers reduce technical debt and modernize for Industry 4.0, supporting machine-to-machine communication, IIoT, ERP systems, and real-time data insights with reliable, scalable infrastructure, plus consultative guidance for adopting cloud, automation, and security tools that improve efficiency.
