TIDC and Manufacturing


Manufacturers Demand Better Technology Delivery

Manufacturers are being asked to manage costs, drive growth, and deliver operational excellence in a world of market challenges. Costs are increasing, supply chain disruptions are common, and technology is rapidly changing. Manufacturers are also challenged with an evolving workforce that includes distributed workers, high turnover, and a need to attract the right talent. It's never been more important for manufacturing organizations to rethink their IT service delivery models and how they align to support business operations, growth, and workforce optimization.

The Connection Technology Integration and Distribution Center (TIDC) can help manufacturing organizations break the mold and evolve into a modernized workforce that’s ready for today’s challenges and tomorrow’s needs.
Manufacturing Expertise Meets IT Know-How

Take the Stress Out of Facility Technology Projects

Manufacturers constantly evolve, modernize, or transform their facilities to support operations. But many companies are struggling when it comes to hiring qualified IT workers. With the rapid pace of technological change—and an increased demand for IT services—it’s more vital than ever to ensure IT delivers technology outcomes at the right time, to the right place, and on budget.

The TIDC can acquire, stock, configure, validate, and distribute a wide range of technologies to fit your facility project schedule. By partnering with the TIDC, you allow your IT team to focus less on tactical activities and more on technology orchestration and successful business outcomes.

Technology That’s Ready to Unbox and Go

People are manufacturing’s most important asset. In today’s tight labor market, 70% of manufacturers are struggling to find qualified workers.* Employees have high expectations when it comes to technology. Whether your IT team delivers endpoints to new employees or replaces an existing device, it’s important to get technology right every time to ensure manufacturers can attract, retain, and optimize the productivity of their talent pool. A true unbox-and-go solution needs to improve the end-user experience and their productivity.

Using Connection’s “Facility in a Box” product solutioning ensures your equipment will be provisioned, tested, validated, and securely packaged before arriving at your site. Having a one-source vendor ensures all your products arrive on time and ready for the day of implementation. This limits downtime and reduces the amount of hands-on deployment tasks at your location.
