In today's fast-paced manufacturing environment, technology is the backbone of almost everything you do. From managing inventory and production schedules to keeping your ERP systems running smoothly, technology drives the operations that keep your business afloat. But what happens when your ERP goes down, your applications fail, or your processes are out of whack? Who do you call? For many manufacturers, the answer is often a third-party IT company. While this might seem like a quick solution, it's not the answer you need. Third-party IT providers focus only on technology—fixing hardware, managing networks, and troubleshooting software issues. They don’t understand your business, your workflows, or the intricate needs of your industry.

That’s where ICG comes in. Unlike third-party IT companies limited to technical knowledge, ICG is equipped to handle IT, ERP systems, applications, and business processes all in one place. We understand the whole picture of your business - from the technology you use to the processes you need to keep running smoothly.

Why Third-Party IT Support Misses the Mark

Third-party IT providers are often excellent at solving problems related to hardware or network issues. However, they fall short regarding the more complex issues that affect manufacturing, such as ERP downtime, application failures, or poorly integrated processes.

Why? Because they only know the technology, not your business. If your ERP system goes down, a third-party IT team may be able to reboot your servers or get your systems back online. However, without an understanding of how your ERP is integrated into your business processes, they might not be able to diagnose why it’s malfunctioning in the first place.

When your manufacturing operations are disrupted, the clock is ticking, and you need someone who can solve the problem right now, not just someone who can put a temporary band-aid on it. That's why relying on a generic IT service provider isn't enough for your complex business needs.

Tech is a Tool. How You Use It Matters.

At ICG, we know that technology isn’t just about making things work; it’s about making them work for you. Tech is a tool, but how you use it determines whether it genuinely adds value to your business. When dealing with a third-party IT company, you're treating technology as a stand-alone tool that may not align with the intricacies of your operations.

But when you work with ICG, we understand that IT, ERP systems, applications, and business processes are all intertwined. We don't just fix tech problems - we optimize your entire workflow, ensuring everything works in sync so that you can stay ahead of the competition.
