Seattle manufacturers machine aerospace parts in the Kent Valley, build heavy trucks, process seafood for the Alaska fleet and roast, brew and bake for the whole Northwest. Seattle manufacturers can hand ITServices.Tech the whole IT workload as one managed service, covering staff support, protection from attacks, recoverable backups and budget planning.
Aerospace and the supplier chain
Boeing builds 737s in Renton and widebodies in Everett, Blue Origin is headquartered in Kent, and hundreds of machine shops, composite makers and coating houses between Everett and Auburn feed those programs. Paccar, the maker of Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks, is based in Bellevue.
First-article inspection and quality data
Aerospace customers want traceable records for every part: AS9100 procedures, first-article inspection reports, material certs and CMM results. Those files live on shop servers and quality software that have to be backed up nightly and easy to pull when a buyer asks for a lot from years ago.
Seafood, coffee and food plants
Fishermen’s Terminal is home port for much of the Alaska fishing fleet, and processors, cold storage operators and food makers line the Duwamish and the Kent Valley. The FDA food traceability rule covers many seafood products, so lot codes and receiving records need to be complete and recoverable.
Windstorms and the Cascadia risk
The November 2024 bomb cyclone left hundreds of thousands of Puget Sound customers without power, and the 2001 Nisqually earthquake shook plants across the region. Battery backup on network gear, servers bolted and braced, and copies of production data kept outside the valley give a plant a way back after either.
Controllers that cannot be patched
Older CNC controllers and test stands often run operating systems their makers stopped updating years ago. We put them on their own network segment, block internet access and control how files reach them, so the machine keeps cutting without becoming the way in.
IT services for Seattle manufacturers
- Support for the shop-floor network and machine PCs
- Server, backups and user access for your ERP
- Office and shop-floor networks kept separate and secure
- CMMC preparation for defense suppliers
Everything runs under one managed IT agreement, with the help desk, monitoring, patching, Microsoft 365, security and backups handled by the same team.
Software we support
We support the systems you already run, such as Epicor, JobBOSS, SAP Business One and Microsoft Dynamics, along with SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Mastercam and label software like BarTender, without making you replace them. PLC and controller programming stays with your machine vendor or integrator.
Security and compliance
We help defense suppliers prepare for CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 (NIST SP 800-171) with a gap review, policies and security controls. The formal assessment is done by an outside assessor (C3PAO).
Washington’s breach notification law, RCW 19.255.010, requires notice to affected residents within 30 days of discovering a breach, and to the Attorney General when more than 500 Washingtonians are affected. The My Health My Data Act adds rules for consumer health data.
Office hours in Seattle
