Why is IT Maintenance Crucial for Manufacturers?

Consistent IT maintenance is essential for manufacturers to prevent costly downtime, cyber threats, and system failures. Partnering with Beringer Technology Group ensures customized, proactive support, including software updates, disaster recovery, and 24/7 monitoring. It’s a cost-effective solution to safeguard operations and scale with confidence.

• IT maintenance reduces downtime, improves system performance, and supports business growth.
• Services include network design, cloud systems, email security, software integration, and Microsoft Dynamics 365.
• Four software maintenance types: corrective, preventative, perfective, adaptive.
• Maintenance vs. support: Maintenance is proactive; support is reactive.
• Beringer Technology Group offers 30+ years of experience serving manufacturers.

All manufacturers need IT maintenance to effectively scale and expand their business.

Without IT maintenance, businesses are left vulnerable to cyber threats, system failures, and unexpected downtime. Partnering with a premier IT solutions provider is a proactive approach that will significantly reduce the risk of real time threats and protect your digital infrastructure for the long term. If you’re worried about cost effectiveness, this approach is also the best in terms of cost savings.

That’s where Beringer Technology Group comes in. Our team has been partnering with manufacturing businesses for over 30 years, specializing in customized IT system maintenance.

What Are the Four Types of Software Maintenance?

The four types of software maintenance are:

1. Corrective maintenance
2. Preventative maintenance
3. Perfective maintenance
4. Adaptive maintenance

Corrective maintenance kicks in whenever an error, bug, or defect occurs. In other words, it’s reactive as it quickly aims to correct the issue at hand. The best kind of corrective maintenance is one that can act before customers even notice there’s an issue to begin with.

Preventive maintenance allows your software to continue working the best it can for as long as possible with the necessary updates, changes, adaptations, and more. Preventive maintenance is crucial for the longevity and stability of your software.

Perfective maintenance strives to keep your software relevant to current customer needs and priorities with evolving features and enhancements. This can also involve removing features that are redundant and unnecessary.

Adaptive maintenance involves any changes happening to or within your software. This could be due to the operating system, organizational policies, or more. Adaptive maintenance ensures your software meets the latest requirements.

At Beringer Technology Group, our maintenance involves and prioritizes all four types of software maintenance so you can rest easy with all your bases covered. We streamline all maintenance tasks for manufacturers and are always here to answer any and all questions.

What is the Difference Between IT Maintenance and Support?

The main difference between IT maintenance and support is that:

• IT maintenance is proactive, preventative, and predictive
• While IT support is reactive and corrective

Predictive maintenance predicts the likelihood of something failing and runs scheduled maintenance before the failure occurs.

You reach out to IT support when something has already failed, and you need immediate assistance to address the failure.

At Beringer, we specialize in both IT maintenance and support to maximize your business’s productivity and potential to expand. Our constant monitoring and maintenance ensure your data is always protected and encrypted.
