Modernizing the Supply Chain

If we’ve learned anything from recent challenges, it’s that even the most reliable supply chains can be easily disrupted. The ripple effect from price increases, shipping delays, and component shortages have left an indelible mark on the entire supply chain. IT consultancy services for manufacturing focused on the supply chain will:

  • help you transform your operations and keep costs in check
  • keep goods flowing
  • cultivate a positive customer experience

Cloud and AI Driving Manufacturing Transformation

Cloud and AI are fueling a powerful digital shift across manufacturing. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) market reached USD 483.2 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD 1,693.4 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 23.3%. This rapid growth reflects how manufacturers are using connected devices, AI, and real-time analytics to improve efficiency, enable predictive maintenance, and drive smarter decision-making.

 

Meanwhile, global data production is exploding. Overall digital data is expected to reach 181 zettabytes by 2025, and manufacturing alone will contribute 4.4 zettabytes by 2030, driven by intelligent devices and real-time analytics.

Manufacturing Leads All Industries in Cyberattack Activity

Alongside the rise in supply chain disruptions, Cyber threats are escalating sharply in manufacturing. In 2024, the manufacturing sector accounted for 26% of all cyber incidents, making it the most targeted industry for the fourth straight year, according to IBM’s 2025 X-Force Threat Intelligence Index.

 

Following this trend, a 2025 survey reported that 81% of manufacturing organizations were hit by a ransomware attack in the past year, making manufacturing the hardest‑hit industry globally. Manufacturing companies are targeted because the industry contains high-value data, allowing attackers to get paid more. These organizations are typically also vulnerable to triple extortion threats, where criminals get a payout from vendors, clients, and suppliers.

Driving Digital Transformation in the Manufacturing Industry

Manufacturers are under pressure to modernize operations, secure complex supply chains, and harness emerging technologies to stay competitive. TierPoint partners with manufacturing companies to deliver cloud, security, and IT solutions that improve reliability, strengthen resilience, and accelerate digital transformation. 

Improve System Reliability

An increased reliance on ERP systems and other technologies means that all parties involved in the supply chain need to focus on reducing system downtime. To enable disparate organizations to work together in moving goods and providing services, vendors and customers need self-service access to critical information via portals. Systems-to-systems communications can also facilitate automation of many routine tasks while alerting supply chain managers to potential problems.

Strengthen System and Data Security

Supply chain systems are especially vulnerable to increasing cybercrime attacks. We’ve already seen essential supply chains in the U.S. fall victim to malicious actors. Threats like these aren’t going anywhere any time soon, according to experts. 

Even if you operate in a “non-essential” supply chain, you may still be a ransomware target, or physical theft of systems and data. Your systems should be protected against both physical and cyber threats to minimize downtime and protect yourself against these for-profit endeavors. 

Leverage Advanced Technologies

Emerging technologies such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, and advanced robotics are quickly evolving how goods are produced and distributed. Your systems and IT staff will need to meet the greater demands to deploy these new technologies. 

Systems will need to handle an increase in compute and storage requirements. You’ll also need IT professionals who can help your organization navigate a complex and ever-changing landscape. Business processes and protocols also need to be in place to keep your systems and data secure.
