Manufacturing
The systems running your floor are older than some of your employees.
That decade-old server, the machine running on an OS no one will patch, the software the vendor stopped supporting — it all works, until the morning it doesn't, and the line stops with it. Blue Fox Group helps manufacturers modernize what's holding them back on a plan and a budget, so aging technology stops being the risk quietly sitting under your production.
DON’T WAIT FOR FAILURE.
Here's what makes us different, and it isn't a longer list of tools. Any IT company can sell you antivirus, backup, and monitoring — those are ingredients, and on their own they don't tell you whether your floor can survive the day an aging system finally fails.
What protects production is a process: a partner who understands your operation, holds your environment to a defined standard, spots what's aging before it fails, and builds a plan and budget to modernize it without stopping the line. That's the job of a real virtual CIO — a term most IT companies use loosely, and we don't.
Every IT company says they have a vCIO. Few can tell you what that means.
With decades of combined experience, our specialists are well-prepared for any challenge you may be facing.

I've worked with a variety of IT groups but have never received the level of service that I now receive from Blue Fox Group. We trust BFG to oversee various functions of IT that support our office operations. They are knowledgable, resourceful, accountable and most importantly, responsive.

Blue fox is a first rate operation. Their technician Austin was knowledgable and helpful and installed new cameras with care and patience to get the job done right. Salesman Steve was fair and forthright about pricing. I highly recommend them!

From the blog
Here's what we hear from manufacturers before they call us.
One old machine from a full stop.
When production depends on a server or system well past its life, you're not running lean — you're running on borrowed time, with no plan for the day it quits.
Software the vendor gave up on.
Line-of-business or machine software that's no longer supported can't be patched, can't be secured, and can't be fixed fast when it breaks — but the whole floor still depends on it.
A security hole you can't close.
Legacy systems that can't be updated are exactly what ransomware looks for. On a plant floor, one infection doesn't slow you down — it stops you.
Upgrades that feel too risky to touch.
Nobody wants to be the one who takes down the line to modernize. So it gets put off, year after year, and the risk only grows.
IT that patches instead of plans.
Most IT companies keep the old stuff limping along without ever giving you a real roadmap or budget to get ahead of it.
KEEP PRODUCTION
MOVING FORWARD.
Technology should do more than work today — it should be monitored, planned, and modernized to support your operation without unexpected disruption.
