When a line goes down, IT is not a ticket queue.

We run IT for job-shop, process, and discrete manufacturers across Texas — ERP-aware infrastructure, plant-floor connectivity, and a helpdesk that understands production-hour urgency. The ERP never goes down quietly, and neither do we.

Where we run

From the front office to the shop floor.

We don't try to replace your controls engineer or your line integrator. We sit on the IT side of the fence — and at the seam between IT and OT — and run the infrastructure your operations team depends on.

ERP operations
Dedicated engineering support for Epicor, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage, Infor, and SAP Business One. Patching, DB maintenance, and user access — coordinated with your production schedule.
IT/OT segmentation
Purdue-model-aware network design. Firewall policies between corporate, engineering, and the shop floor — with monitoring that doesn't require your PLC vendor's permission.
Plant-aware helpdesk
Production-hour priority, after-shift maintenance windows, and engineers who understand why a barcode printer on line 3 blocks shipping at 2 a.m.
Shop-floor devices
Ruggedized tablets, handheld scanners, label printers, time-clocks, and plant-floor kiosks — lifecycle and support as a first-class part of the managed service.
Cybersecurity
MDR tuned for manufacturing TTPs. Email security against vendor-invoice redirect fraud. Ransomware recovery playbooks rehearsed against your ERP and MES.
Strategic advisory
Fractional CIO cadence aligned to your COO. ERP selection oversight, M&A IT diligence for platform roll-ups, and insurer questionnaire prep.
Frameworks your customers are asking about

ITAR, CMMC, and the customer questionnaire that keeps landing in your COO's inbox.

If you sell to aerospace, defense, or energy primes, the security bar rises every year. We run the control environment that lets you stay on the approved-vendor list.
