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.

Manufacture Industry
The challenge
Aspar Pharmaceuticals had long relied on legacy systems for communication and collaboration. As their workforce grew more dynamic and the business environment became increasingly digital-first, these tools’ limitations became clear. Staff across departments needed more integrated, agile, and secure tools to support daily operations, and leadership identified Microsoft 365 as the platform to modernise their work environment and improve collaboration, both internally and with external partners.
What Sprint did
Sprint Integration took a consultative approach from the outset, meeting with management across every department to understand not just the explicit requirements but the underlying business drivers and pain points. Rather than a “big bang” migration, Sprint recommended a phased rollout: starting with migration preparation and a hybrid Server-to-M365 connection, followed by a pilot phase with cross-functional test users, a department-by-department rollout with dedicated training and support, and finally full integration with workflow optimisation. Regular progress meetings, in-person workshops, and two-way feedback channels kept staff informed and engaged throughout.

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.
