Managed IT services for manufacturing

Integrate, modernise and protect manufacturing IT without stopping production

Manufacturers grow through new sites, acquisitions and changing customer demands, but every new system, supplier and network adds operational risk. Claranet helps you integrate acquired businesses, move critical infrastructure off ageing platforms, secure the estate and connect plants, warehouses and offices through one accountable managed service.

IT integration for manufacturing mergers and acquisitions

Acquisition is often the point when manufacturers finally have permission to simplify IT. The problem is that every deal adds another identity platform, firewall estate, cloud contract, support model and set of ageing servers unless integration starts early.

Claranet helps manufacturers turn the technology workstream into a repeatable integration model: understand the acquired estate, protect Day 1, exit TSAs, consolidate duplicated services and move each business toward a common target platform and managed service.

  • Technology diligence: identify unsupported infrastructure, cyber exposure, supplier commitments and hidden integration cost before it becomes a surprise.
  • Day 1 and TSA planning: keep plants, warehouses and offices operating while ownership and service responsibilities change.
  • Platform consolidation: align cloud, networks, identity, workplace and security around an agreed target architecture.
  • Repeatable integration: create a playbook that makes the next acquisition faster, lower risk and easier to cost.
