Tailored IT consulting solutions for manufacturing — from compliance and security to day-to-day support, all managed by UK-based experts.
Our consultants bring decades of experience across infrastructure, cloud, security and digital transformation.
Every project produces actionable documentation — roadmaps, policies and procedures your team can follow.
We are vendor-neutral, recommending solutions based on what is best for your business, not what earns us the highest commission.
We often meet manufacturers who have grown fast and left IT strategy consulting to catch up later. Manufacturers run on Sage X3 and live under ISO 27001, so IT strategy consulting is never just an IT detail. Cloudswitched maps IT strategy consulting onto your OT/IT networks, then secures Epicor and documents it for ISO 27001. Expect governance frameworks, clear documentation, and ERP systems that holds up when OT/IT segregation arrives. We test, measure and report against your contract every quarter rather than the brochure. Get IT strategy consulting right and manufacturers gain a clear IT roadmap without the usual no IT strategy.
A clear, structured process from consultation to ongoing support.
We start every engagement by understanding your business goals, challenges and constraints — then design an IT strategy that supports them.
We do not just write reports and walk away. Our consultants roll up their sleeves and help implement the recommendations we make.
Every engagement includes training and documentation so your team builds capability, not dependency on external consultants.
Security is built into IT strategy consulting from the start, with access controlled and devices managed against Cyber Essentials. Shift supervisors stay protected without clumsy after-the-fact bolt-ons.
A named UK team learns your ERP systems and the rhythm of ransomware exposure, then answers properly when operations directors call. No script-reading first line to fight through.
We watch Sage X3 and the wider stock and MRP continuously, dealing with trouble quietly in the background. Shift supervisors mostly notice IT strategy consulting as the absence of old problems.
Real hands-on experience across Microsoft Dynamics 365 and stock and MRP
A UK-based helpdesk that genuinely understands manufacturers
Right-sized for manufacturers, never enterprise overkill
Backup and recovery that is tested, not assumed
An IT roadmap for manufacturers that you actually own
Proactive monitoring and patching around the clock

We are a UK firm sized for manufacturers, so you get named engineers who learn your Sage X3 instead of a faceless queue. IT strategy consulting is handled in plain English, costs are transparent, and you are never too small to matter, which is rarely true at the enterprise end of the market.
There is no lock-in, so the relationship has to keep earning its place. In practice issues with IT strategy consulting are raised at the monthly review and dealt with directly by your named contact. We would far rather fix the root cause for manufacturers than watch you quietly drift towards leaving.
Security for IT strategy consulting is layered quietly behind the scenes: managed devices, controlled access and monitoring tied to ISO 9001. Quality engineers carry on with the work while the protection runs underneath, so you meet your obligations without the friction that makes people quietly work around the controls.
Yes. We support manufacturers day to day, so we already know Microsoft Dynamics 365, the rhythm of shop-floor uptime, and what shift supervisors need from their systems. IT strategy consulting is set up around your existing workflow, with ISO 27001 accounted for from the start rather than bolted on as an afterthought once something has already gone wrong.
