CompuOne Client Profile
A Chicago manufacturing firm reached capacity at its U.S.-based plant and made the call to expand into Mexico. The move required a new IT infrastructure to support the Mexico facility and keep both plants connected.
CompuOne Client Focus
Four major challenges stood between the plant and its Mexico expansion.
EDI Continuity
Replicate the EDI functionality used in the U.S. inside the new Mexico plant.
ERP Talent
Find and support the technical talent needed to run ERP on-site.
Security & Equipment Protection
Guard against cyberattacks and physical theft of new equipment.
No-Cost Voice & Video
Connect U.S. and Mexico teams by phone and video with no added expense.
CompuOne Vision + Solution
With a set timeline, CompuOne streamlined a full solution to open the new plant.
- Wireless coverage installed across the entire 6,000 sq. ft. facility
- A private cloud built in the U.S. to keep all data stateside
- Virtual desktops deployed for easy expansion and tighter equipment security
- Firewalls configured to raise the plant's security baseline
- A dedicated VPN tunnel linking Mexico phones directly to the U.S. network
CompuOne Results
- Private cloud storage eliminated the need for a second server room in Mexico, cutting facility costs.
- Equipment security improved with virtual desktops running on monitors that have no local operating system to attack.
- Movable video-and-camera carts over Skype for Business connected new hires to the U.S. plant for hands-on training at minimal cost.
