Navigating Industry 4.0’s Data Deluge: How MSPs Can Unlock Valuable Insights

Manufacturers often face the common challenge of a fragmented IT infrastructure, which can significantly hinder data management, as was the experience for one of our global manufacturing clients who specializes in modular commercial and industrial flooring. This fragmentation was perpetuated by their global reach with offices in several regions: the U.S., Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia-Pacific area.  

All their networks ran in isolation, meaning each location had its own network, including separate Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and distinct regional security standards. These challenges led to communication barriers and high network costs. They also had an expanded demand for bandwidth to access their critical applications and an increase in cloud services use. 

To improve their digital infrastructure, Coevolve’s co-managed methodology enabled our client to optimize their network and security infrastructure to their specific business needs in just under 15 weeks in APAC. Building on the solution’s success in APAC, it was deployed globally, creating a unified global platform. Our client transformed their infrastructure into an intelligent system that supported their international operations while boosting their operational efficiency and security.  

 The client also now had access to secure, low-cost internet connectivity at every location around the world, were able to balance regional customization with global competitiveness, and had a more scalable, flexible, and capable of achieving their global strategic vision. Lastly, this approach also ensured seamless connectivity and better data management across all regions.
