Has your manufacturing company experienced considerable growth through acquisition or other significant changes in recent years? While change can be a positive thing, it can also lead to a lack of centralized IT control, in turn creating an IT environment that feels a bit… well, chaotic.

This scenario applies to any manufacturing organization that lacks a holistic, well-planned IT approach.
