But do manufacturing businesses benefit from Managed IT? Multiple manufacturing companies such as Emco Gears, Jet Gasket and Seal Co, and Marathon Products Incorporated have partnered with ITS to put Managed IT to the test. They've experienced the following benefits from getting Managed IT:
By getting Managed IT, manufacturers save time and money. You and your team can funnel more of your resources into product and service improvement, instead of worrying about IT systems.
Your manufacturing business must have the ability to deal with the unexpected. Due to their utilization of multiple IT personnel, MSPs can provide round-the-clock network monitoring through staff and software monitoring. If you have suppliers in different countries, you can rely on MSPs to get the message to you.

Following IT security standards has never been easier. An MSP can help you stay compliant with IT guidelines from multiple organizations, with the side benefit of making it easier for you to apply for cybersecurity insurance.

One of the biggest manufacturing challenges is keeping up with company growth. Managed IT designs your network with scalability and handles the procurement process, so that you don't have to worry about change.
An MSP can improve your organization's cybersecurity efforts; they point out vulnerabilities in your network and provide recommendations. Also, they will ensure that your systems are up-to-date and up to current security standards by implementing patches, updating your devices and software, and much more.
Managed IT costs range from $150-$250/user monthly, depending on your company’s current IT situation. The larger your company, the higher the monthly fee costs. And while you’re getting IT experts and top-of-the-line IT infrastructure with bill, the price can be an obstacle for many small to medium-sized businesses.
If you prefer permanent onsite IT support, Managed IT may not be for you. MSPs have streamlined their process for fast problem resolution and heavily utilize offsite support with specialized programs. While most MSPs still offer onsite services, sending someone onsite isn’t the first action MSPs take.
Your MSP needs to onboard your manufacturing business, and this can take some time. You have to factor in, at most, twelve weeks of onboarding before you can get the full service of Managed IT.
It’s crucial to partner with the right MSP for your company because you’re entrusting your entire IT department to them. Choosing the right MSP requires thorough research and evaluation.
If you find yourself in any of the following situations, you need Managed IT:
But not every business needs to get Managed IT. If your business fits most of these situations, you may be better off with another IT service like Co-managed IT or Break-fix IT.
