As mid-sized manufacturing companies (500–2,000 employees, $50–500M revenue) modernize their IT environments, many are transitioning from legacy Windows systems to Mac. This move isn’t just about adopting new technology—it’s about safeguarding proprietary data, meeting regulatory standards, and staying resilient in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. For manufacturers, where intellectual property, supply chain integrity, and operational continuity are non-negotiable, ensuring compliance and data security during Mac deployments is mission-critical.

The Compliance Challenge in Manufacturing

Manufacturers operate under strict regulatory frameworks like GDPR, ISO 27001, and industry-specific mandates. A single data breach can disrupt production, undermine customer trust, and result in severe penalties. Migrating from entrenched Windows workflows to Mac introduces new complexities: IT teams must secure endpoints, preserve existing processes, and maintain compliance—all with limited resources and lean staffing typical in the sector.
Legacy systems, custom software, and complex production networks further raise the stakes. In this high-risk environment, manufacturers need a deployment partner with proven expertise in secure, compliant Apple solutions.
