  • Security patching and virus protection 
  • Helpdesk and onsite support 
  • Cloud computing solutions 
“Our specialists consult with every client to ensure that technology meets business needs, minimizes downtime, and eliminates disruptions to help your team stay focused on production and growth”, Adam Bowles, Director of Web Services at ACT360. 

Cloud Computing Solutions 

Managing operations across multiple locations requires a high level of flexibility and scalability. Cloud computing with ACT360 enables secure access to data and applications from anywhere, on any device.  We offer: 
  • Private clouds for high security and control 
  • Public clouds for cost efficiency and scalability 
  • Hybrid clouds for flexibility and balance 
We handle migration, security, and continued support so your systems are always up and running, while driving down cost, improving communication, and increasing productivity. 

Cybersecurity Solutions 

As manufacturing becomes more and more digitized, the risks from cybersecurity become greater.  How ACT360 secures your systems and IP: 
  • Ongoing monitoring and patching through our DEEP MSP Program 
  • Cybersecurity risk and vulnerability assessments 
  • Disaster recovery and incident response  
  • Employee security training 
We design layered security strategies and measures to help safeguard your business and ensure industry compliance. 

Data Backup & Recovery 

Downtime and data loss can pause production lines and cause profit losses. ACT360’s custom backup & recovery is fitted to protect all your important data.  We create recovery plans designed to minimize downtime, ensuring you experience minimal disruption and your team is able to resume operations quickly after a potential disaster. 

Network Infrastructure 

Multi-location manufacturing starts with a solid, well-run network. Make no mistake; a good network is the foundation on which everything else is built. We design, install, and maintain secure networks that perfectly suit your property.  Services include: 
  • Network design and scaling 
  • Firewalls and intrusion prevention 
  • 24/7 monitoring to detect issues early 
  • Backup and disaster recovery options 
Solid network connectivity keeps the operations rolling, improves communication and collaboration between sites, and cuts down lost time.  “Manufacturing businesses can’t afford downtime because of the importance of time, because in manufacturing every minute counts, and no cost is spent that an account doesn’t have… we ensure technology drives production, not hinders it.” Adam Bowles, Director of Web Services at ACT360.

ACT360 consultants work with manufacturers to ensure their technology aligns with long-term business objectives.  We offer: 
  • CIO-level technology strategy 
  • Infrastructure transformation and cloud adoption

Questions Multi-Site Manufacturers Ask About IT Support

Downtime and data loss can pause production lines and cause profit losses, which is why every minute counts in manufacturing. As Adam Bowles puts it, technology should drive production, not hinder it.

It means ACT360 watches your network around the clock to detect issues early, rather than waiting for someone to report a problem. Monitoring sits alongside network management, security patching, virus protection, and data backup and disaster recovery in our Managed IT service. The goal is catching a failing piece of the network before it turns into lost time on the floor.

ACT360’s DEEP MSP Program was designed for organizations with 50 to 150 users. It’s backed by a team of vCIOs and includes ongoing monitoring and patching. This post doesn’t spell out options outside that range, so if you’re well below or above it, a direct conversation is the quickest way to check fit.

Either can work, and ACT360 offers private, public and hybrid clouds depending on what you need. Private clouds suit high security and control, public clouds suit cost efficiency and scale, and hybrid balances the two. ACT360 handles the migration, security and ongoing support. For multi-site operations, secure access to data and applications from any location is often the bigger win. Which mix fits depends on the systems you actually run.

Protection is layered, combining ongoing monitoring and patching, cybersecurity risk and vulnerability assessments, disaster recovery and incident response, and employee security training. Firewalls and intrusion prevention cover the network itself. The aim is to safeguard the business and support industry compliance.

A single partner can, because the same network design, monitoring, backup and security standards get applied at every site. Solid connectivity between locations also improves communication and makes it easier to share production data across sites. The first step is a free consultation, which you can book online or by calling (705) 434-8324.
