IT support in Milwaukee

IT for Milwaukee manufacturers and the firms behind them

  • About 80 miles (roughly 1.5 hours) from our Schaumburg HQ
  • Engineers visit on a regular schedule, and urgent issues get a response within 15 to 30 minutes.
  • 24/7 monitoring and a help desk that knows your environment

Manufacturing has shaped Milwaukee for more than a century, and the metro still runs on it: machine builders, food and beverage producers, water technology companies and the distributors that move their products. Around them are the banks, insurers, law firms and health systems that keep southeast Wisconsin's economy moving.

Many of these companies run ERP, production and engineering systems that can't go down, with an IT team of one or two people. We take on the monitoring, security and day-to-day support, so your team can focus on the projects that move the business forward.

Local challenges

What do Milwaukee businesses need from IT?

Legacy systems on the shop floor

Production equipment and older servers often run software that can't be patched on a normal schedule. We segment and monitor them so one weak point doesn't expose the whole network.

Customer and defense security requirements

Suppliers to the Department of Defense and to large customers now have to document their security controls. We help you meet CMMC and customer requirements and keep the evidence ready.

Small IT teams, big environments

One or two IT staff can't cover the help desk, security and projects at once. Co-managed IT puts our engineers and 24/7 monitoring behind your team.

FAQ

Milwaukee IT support: frequently asked questions

Do you provide onsite IT support in Milwaukee?

Yes. Managed IT clients in the Milwaukee area get onsite visits from our engineers on a regular schedule, plus our US-based help desk and 24/7 monitoring for day-to-day issues. Our headquarters is about 80 miles south in Schaumburg, IL.

Can you support a Wisconsin manufacturer's plant network?

Yes. Manufacturing is one of our core industries. We support plant networks, OT/IT integration, ERP systems and security, and we schedule maintenance around production so updates don't stop the line.

Can you help us meet CMMC requirements?

Yes. We help companies prepare for CMMC by assessing current controls against the requirements, closing gaps and documenting evidence.

Can you work alongside our internal IT staff?

Yes. With co-managed IT, we take the help desk, monitoring or security work off your team's plate so they can focus on projects, and we follow the standards they've already set.

Call 1-844-752-9374. Our security team works to isolate affected systems, contain the threat and restore operations from clean backups, and we document what happened so your counsel can handle Wisconsin's breach notification requirements.
