From legacy ERP replacement to OT/IT integration, CMMC compliance to AI for predictive maintenance — Intone helps manufacturers modernize critical systems without compromising production uptime, defense supply chain compliance, or quality discipline. Twenty years of delivery depth, ISO 9001 certified, public-sector proven.

Production Cannot Stop. Compliance Cannot Slip. And the Stack Is Aging.

Manufacturing IT leaders stand at the intersection of innovation, uptime, and security—under constraints that few sectors can match. Production downtime can cost thousands of dollars per minute. Operational technology (OT) environments—including PLCs, SCADA, and MES—were built for reliability, not modern cybersecurity. ERP systems supporting mission-critical operations are often well beyond their intended lifecycle. At the same time, defense supply chain requirements, including CMMC Level 2, NIST SP 800-171, and ITAR, have raised the compliance bar beyond what many legacy environments can support.

The strategic pressure is equally intense. Organizations are expected to adopt Industry 4.0 capabilities—predictive maintenance, digital twins, AI-driven quality control, and end-to-end supply chain visibility—without disrupting the operations these technologies are meant to improve. Most technology partners understand either enterprise IT or industrial operations, but rarely both.

Manufacturing organizations need a partner who understands that you cannot schedule a go-live during peak production—and who brings the compliance expertise to deliver CMMC-aligned modernization for defense suppliers, the operational discipline to integrate IT and OT safely, and the proven quality management practices that come from more than two decades of ISO 9001-certified delivery.

Intone delivers the complete portfolio of enterprise IT services to manufacturing organizations — with OT/IT integration, supply chain compliance, and production uptime considerations embedded as foundational design requirements. Manufacturing operations is where system reliability matters most, and where Intone’s certifications and pedigree align most directly to buyer requirements.

OT/IT Integration

OT/IT Integration

Bridge legacy operational systems with modern IT infrastructure. Secure integration of PLCs, SCADA, and MES with ERP, analytics, and cloud — without disrupting the production environments these systems run.

Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity Monitoring

Continuous monitoring across OT/IT environments, CMMC-aligned. Detect threats without disrupting production schedules. Powered by IntoneGladius® and aligned to NIST 800-171 and CMMC Level 2.

Compliance & GRC

Compliance Monitoring & Assessment

CMMC Level 2, NIST 800-171, ITAR, and quality standard compliance — continuous assessment with evidence on demand. EagleEye365® replaces the audit scramble with a sustained, defensible compliance state.

Legacy Modernization

Legacy ERP & System Modernization

Replace aging ERP systems, MES, and production control platforms without disrupting ongoing manufacturing. Phased migration that respects shift schedules and seasonal production cycles, with hybrid architectures where OT integration precludes full cloud.

Cloud & Infrastructure

Cloud Migration & Infrastructure

Azure, AWS, or hybrid cloud migration for manufacturing workloads with high availability and disaster recovery — engineered so production-critical systems stay online throughout the transition.

AI & Automation

AI for Predictive Maintenance & Operations

Deploy AI for equipment failure prediction, supply chain optimization, and production scheduling — with the governance framework that quality and safety-critical environments demand.

App Development

Custom Application Development

Build production dashboards, supply chain visibility tools, quality management systems, and operational apps that off-the-shelf platforms cannot model — integrated into your existing OT and ERP ecosystem.

IT Staffing

IT Staffing & Advisory

US-based talent placement for manufacturing IT and OT projects — with security clearances, certifications, and operational discipline. Plus advisory services from senior practitioners with manufacturing delivery experience.

Proof
87%

Reduction in compliance evidence collection time

CMMC Level 2 Certification & Continuous Defense Readiness

One representative engagement: a Tier 1 defense contractor managing multiple manufacturing facilities with government contracts requiring CMMC Level 2 compliance. Manual evidence collection and assessment preparation was consuming security and compliance teams for weeks before every audit cycle.

Defense Contractor — CMMC Level 2 Achievement via Continuous Assessment

Reduced CMMC compliance evidence preparation time by 87% through continuous controls monitoring. Achieved CMMC Level 2 certification and reallocated security team capacity from audit preparation to strategic risk advisory supporting business development and contract retention.

Why Intone for Manufacturing Four Differentiators That Manufacturing Buyers Tell Us Matter

20+ Years of Manufacturing-Aligned Delivery

Founded in 2003. ISO 9001 certified. SOC 2 Type II. CMMC assessed. Two decades of manufacturing-adjacent delivery and defense supply chain experience that signals the operational discipline and compliance depth manufacturing buyers require — and that procurement and security teams recognize as foundational.

OT/IT Integration Expertise

Manufacturing is where legacy OT systems meet modern IT. We bridge that gap with deep experience integrating PLCs, SCADA, MES with enterprise systems without disrupting production. The integration maturity that satisfies a manufacturing CIO aligns to operational uptime and supply chain compliance requirements.

Full-Stack IT Partner, Not a Niche Vendor

OT/IT integration + cybersecurity + compliance + application development + IT staffing + AI for operations under one roof. For manufacturing CIOs managing complex multi-system environments, this means fewer vendor integrations, fewer compliance handoffs, and one accountable partner.

Defense Supply Chain Pedigree + Patented Platforms

CMMC Level 2 experience. NIST 800-171 aligned. Plus EagleEye365® for continuous compliance and IntoneGladius® for OT/IT cybersecurity — patented platforms purpose-built for the manufacturing environment.
