Clare Computer Solutions is offering a FREE IT Budget Consultation to Manufacturing Firms.

The manufacturing industry requires intricate timing in order to be successful. Ideally, raw materials arrive just in time to be applied to the manufacturing process and the finished products are ready just in time to ship.

Navigating the manufacturing process is not easy. It requires planning and access to timely and accurate data. Information technology can be a valuable tool for these operational needs improving efficiencies and saving money. It is very important to ensure that your manufacturing firm’s IT infrastructure is up-to-date and reliable.

Taking the time now to consider your IT infrastructure needs for 2016 and addressing them will help your manufacturing line run smoothly all year. The budget should include normal maintenance and management costs, as well as planned upgrades and cycling out of end-of-life technologies. With a well-designed IT budget, you’ll know what expenses are coming up and when you can perform needed maintenance on equipment and technologies.

For many manufacturing firms, this type of strategic IT planning is not in their skill set. This is typically the responsibility of a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) or a Chief Information Officer (CIO) – to create an IT Budget that suits your firm’s goals. Clare Computer Solutions provides strategic IT budgeting, planning and consulting, and can develop your IT budget as well as assist with the implementation plan. Please – contact us today to start your IT budget now!
