IT support built around how manufacturers actually operate

Sprint Integration provides fully managed IT support, cyber security, and connectivity designed for how manufacturing businesses actually run – production lines that can’t stop, converging IT and OT systems, and supply chains under constant pressure.

Production uptime protection

Resilient connectivity and rapid-response support so planning systems, ERP, and shop-floor connectivity stay online when the line is running.

IT/OT boundary security

Network segmentation and monitoring that keeps office systems and production environments separate, so an IT breach can’t cascade into a physical shutdown.

Supply chain & vendor risk management

Controls around third-party and supplier access, addressing one of the most common routes attackers use to reach manufacturing networks.

Intellectual property protection

Treating CAD files, formulations, and process know-how as the commercially sensitive assets they are, with controls against leaks and unauthorised access.

Backup & disaster recovery

Tested recovery plans so production data, planning systems, and order records survive a hardware failure or attack.

Dedicated engineers and a named Project Manager

Support from people who understand production environments and supply chain pressure, with a Relationship Manager included for larger teams.

Brooke Air

Cloud Migration & Microsoft 365 · Essex

Manufacture Industry

The challenge

Brooke Air, a UK manufacturer of air distribution products for HVAC projects, was running its business on a single on-premise server that had reached the end of its life. With the hardware at risk of failing, the business faced potential downtime and costly replacement. An office move and staff working across multiple locations also made it harder to access server resources, and leadership wanted to improve security to support future growth.

What Sprint did

Sprint Integration reviewed Brooke Air’s existing infrastructure, applications and data to plan the best route to the cloud. We delivered a full migration from an on-premise Active Directory domain to Entra joined devices, with business data moved to SharePoint. Conditional access policies and OneDrive syncing kept devices compliant and user data safe, while patch management, email security, security alerting and phishing simulations strengthened protection. Regular progress updates kept the team informed throughout.

The results
ZeroReplacement server hardware required
SSO + MFASecure, simpler access for every user

FAQ

Questions manufacturing businesses ask us

Do you have experience working with manufacturing businesses?

Yes. We support precision engineering firms, food and drink producers, and industrial fabricators, building IT infrastructure around the realities of production uptime, IT/OT convergence, and supply chain pressure.

Can you help secure our operational technology (OT) as well as our office IT?

Yes. We design network segmentation and monitoring that keeps production environments separate from office systems, so a breach on one side can’t cascade into the other and halt the line.

What happens if our ERP or production systems are hit by ransomware?

Our backup and disaster recovery processes are tested specifically to protect operational systems, so an attack doesn’t mean losing planning data, stock records, or order history – and doesn’t mean days of lost production.

Do you offer IT support for small manufacturers, or just larger operations?

We support manufacturing businesses of all sizes across London, Essex and the South East, with flexible, scalable solutions that grow with your operation.

How much does managed IT support cost for a manufacturing business?

Pricing typically ranges from £45 to £75 per user, per month, depending on support level, cyber security inclusion, and whether Microsoft 365 is bundled in.
