Apex Manufacturing - IT Consolidation & Cost Reduction

Apex Manufacturing, with 3 production facilities and 500 employees, was managing IT through a patchwork of local vendors and in-house staff with inconsistent results and rising costs.

The Challenge

Each facility had its own network design, different endpoint management tools, and no centralized monitoring. IT spend was growing 20% year-over-year with no improvement in service quality.

Our Solution

• Consolidated all locations under a single managed services agreement
• Standardized networking equipment and configuration
• Deployed centralized monitoring and ticketing
• Implemented SD-WAN for reliable inter-site connectivity

Results

Apex reduced annual IT spending by $180,000, improved network uptime to 99.98%, and freed their internal IT staff to focus on manufacturing-specific technology projects.
