For 37 years, BCA has been the Spokane IT provider that local organizations rely on for fast, reliable, and attentive IT management. Machine shops, fabricators, and industrial manufacturers get a local team that understands production schedules, ERP and CAD/CAM systems, and what an hour of downtime on the shop floor costs.
Manufacturers run on tight production schedules, connected equipment, and systems that tie the shop floor to the front office. When the ERP, scheduling software, or CNC programs go down, production stops, which is why IT carries so much weight in industrial manufacturing. These are the priorities most manufacturers are working through.

Challenge
When the ERP, scheduling software, or the network to the shop floor goes down, machines sit idle and orders slip. Proactive monitoring and fast response keep small issues from stopping production.
Challenge
Attackers target manufacturers because every hour offline costs money and the pressure to pay is high. Layered security, multi-factor authentication, and tested backups keep one bad click from shutting down the plant.
Challenge
CNC machines, controllers, and shop-floor PCs often run older software that can't be patched like office computers. Network segmentation keeps that equipment running while walling it off from the rest of the network.
Initiative
Defense, aerospace, and other customers increasingly ask for CMMC, NIST 800-171, or a completed security questionnaire before awarding work. A documented security program helps you meet those requirements and keep winning contracts.
Initiative
CAD files, CNC programs, and customer drawings are among your most valuable assets. Access controls, encrypted backups, and monitoring keep them from walking out the door.
Initiative
Shop-floor PCs, servers, and network gear wear out faster in dusty, high-vibration environments. Planned replacements spread the cost out and avoid a failure in the middle of a production run.
