Common IT Challenges for Manufacturers in North Carolina

Manufacturing businesses face unique IT challenges that can disrupt operations and impact profitability. Here’s how we address the most common pain points:

  • Unplanned Downtime - System outages or equipment failures can bring production to a halt, leading to missed deadlines and lost revenue. Our proactive monitoring and rapid response services minimize downtime and keep operations running smoothly.
  • Integration of Legacy and Modern Systems - Many manufacturers rely on legacy systems that need to work seamlessly with modern IT solutions. We specialize in integrating new technologies with existing systems to ensure compatibility and efficiency.
  • Cybersecurity Risks - Manufacturing businesses are frequent targets of cyberattacks due to their reliance on connected devices and proprietary data. We implement robust cybersecurity measures to protect your operations from threats.
  • Managing Large Amounts of Data - From production metrics to supply chain data, manufacturers generate massive amounts of information daily. We provide scalable storage and data management solutions to keep your information organized and accessible.
  • Compliance with Industry Regulations - Manufacturers must adhere to strict regulations like ISO standards and data privacy laws. We ensure your IT systems comply with these requirements to avoid penalties and maintain trust.

Always In the Right Place at the Right Time

You can't put a price on American Frontier's experience in the industry. If it's broke, they can fix it. American Frontier is always there when we need them the most. When something goes wrong or we need help fast, they are always in the right place at the right time, sometimes before I even have a chance to respond to the problem (and I work here.) In the last 2 years, I haven't heard one "no" or "that's not in the contract." In my last job, customers were sold packages of support. I had to deal with "That's not covered unless you want to upgrade the package." American Frontier is there to help you, not nickel and dime you. When it comes to making business decisions, I can trust James's advice, because he's been there. James will give it to you straight, even if it's not what you want to hear. They are honest and trustworthy partners I can call whenever I need help.

Our downtime has been mostly non-existent since we have been a client of American Frontier. Responsiveness is outstanding. In the event (rare) that we have had any type of issue it is resolved quickly and most of the time remotely. Our previous IT Firm was slow with a response and often took multiple attempts to correct the issue. James and Don have taken the time to understand our needs and have actually delivered results over and above our expectations. Also, when we needed new IT equipment, they made recommendations on what we should go with. Then they sourced it for us, configured, and deployed the new machines with minimal interruption to our business. If you are in need of a full-service IT Provider, there is no firm I would give a higher recommendation to than American Frontier. They will over deliver on their promise to meet your needs.

American Frontier (AF) has been taking care of all IT matters for Research Triangle Dental for over 20 years. AF has demonstrated a very high level of expertise in selecting and installing appropriate hardware and software to support the growth of the business. AF has provided peace of mind through reliable professional oversight and maintenance of all systems. With the business being open 7 days a week we have always been able to count on AF to take care of any emergency needs in a very timely fashion. I have a habit of being very picky about service providers, and when I find a good one I stick with it. I am sticking with AF and highly recommend that you give them a try if your IT firm is not living up to your expectations.
