Manufacturing

Is the amount of your company data continually growing and your IT infrastructure can’t keep up? Are legacy systems and software harder to maintain, update and integrate with new systems? Are the number of sites, users, devices increasing or are your systems scalable as you gain new projects or customers? Are you able to share data across all aspects of your company (finance, inventory, production, shipping) easily? Can you easily report on compliance and quality control?

These are just some of the issues faced by manufacturers. And while some are related to most types of business, Professional Computer Associates (PCA) knows that manufacturing has some very specific needs when it comes to IT infrastructure.
