For years, this second-generation manufacturing business relied on outdated hardware, break-fix IT support, and minimal documentation. When a network outage halted production for nearly a full day, leadership realized it was time to modernize.
They needed a reliable, proactive IT partner who could bring their systems up to date — without interrupting daily operations.
Capital Techies conducted a full IT audit, then developed and executed a 3-phase modernization plan:
Phase 1: Infrastructure & Networking
- Replaced legacy routers and switches with business-grade Cisco Meraki hardware
- Re-cabled core production areas to reduce downtime and improve throughput
- Separated guest, admin, and production networks for better segmentation
Phase 2: Cloud Enablement
- Migrated on-prem email and files to Microsoft 365
- Deployed SharePoint for inter-department file sharing
- Set up secure cloud backup and disaster recovery protocols
Phase 3: Security & Support
- Deployed endpoint protection with centralized monitoring
- Rolled out 24/7 helpdesk support for all staff
- Trained internal team on phishing awareness and data handling policies
The Results
- 100% reduction in unplanned outages
- 3x faster network performance across production and office zones
- Streamlined communication and file access via Microsoft 365
- Peace of mind with continuous monitoring and expert support
The company now operates with a proactive IT foundation, ready to scale with their growing business — and no more waiting for something to break before fixing it.
