Manufacturing ERP Infrastructure Support

Keep the Systems Around
Your ERP
Stable, Secure, and
Supportable

Interlink helps manufacturers review the infrastructure around ERP systems, including servers, workstations, network connectivity, backups, remote access, security controls, and vendor coordination.

Interlink helps manufacturers review lifecycle risk and build practical replacement plans. We do not recommend replacing everything at once.
Do you support different manufacturing ERP systems?

Interlink supports the IT infrastructure around manufacturing ERP and business systems. Our role is to help keep the surrounding environment stable, secure, backed up, documented, and supportable. Support depends on the environment, vendor relationship, hosting model, and infrastructure needs — not just the platform name.

ERP Problems Are Often Infrastructure Problems

When ERP Feels Unreliable,
the Issue May Be Around the Software — Not Inside It


When an ERP system feels unreliable, the issue is not always the ERP software itself. The problem may be the server, workstation performance, network connectivity, remote access, backups, security controls, vendor access, or missing documentation.

ERP runs slowly or times out during busy production periods
Users lose access from the office, shop floor, or remote locations
The ERP server is aging or running an unsupported operating system
Backups exist, but no one is sure whether the ERP system can actually be restored
Vendor access is informal, undocumented, or always left open
Shop floor devices or barcode scanners have unreliable ERP connectivity
ERP-related changes are made without reviewing infrastructure impact
No one has a clear lifecycle plan for the systems the ERP depends on
What Interlink Supports Around ERP

Eight Infrastructure Areas That Affect
ERP Stability and Supportability

ERP Server & Hosting Infrastructure
Servers, virtual machines, storage, operating systems, and hosting environments that ERP and production-related systems depend on.
Workstation & User Access
Office staff, supervisors, and approved remote users should be able to access ERP and business systems securely and consistently.
Network & Shop Floor Connectivity
Network paths, switches, wireless coverage, segmentation, and shop floor devices that affect ERP access from production areas.
Backups & Recovery Planning
ERP servers and production-critical data should be in backup schedules, monitored for failures, and periodically tested for restore.
Cybersecurity & Remote Access Controls
MFA, endpoint protection, remote access methods, administrator accounts, and other controls that affect ERP security and cyber insurance readiness.
Vendor Access & Coordination
Document vendor contacts, control remote access, coordinate infrastructure questions, and keep ERP vendor support connected to the rest of IT.
Documentation & Knowledge Transfer
Where ERP systems live, who supports them, how they are accessed, what they depend on, and what should happen if something fails.
Lifecycle & Roadmap Planning
Aging servers, unsupported systems, replacement timelines, and budget items that may affect ERP stability over the next 12 to 36 months.
What Interlink Does Not Replace

We Support the IT Around ERP —
Not the ERP Vendor's Role

Interlink works alongside ERP vendors and software partners. We do not replace the provider responsible for ERP licensing, software customization, application-specific configuration, accounting setup, or manufacturing workflow design.


When an issue requires ERP-specific expertise, Interlink helps coordinate with the vendor while owning the infrastructure, security, access, backup, and documentation layers around the system.

We do not promise
ERP software vendor support
ERP implementation consultants
ERP customization or development
Accounting configuration
Manufacturing workflow design
Application-specific report writing
Software licensing decisions that require vendor authority
ERP PLATFORMS AND BUSINESS APPLICATIONS

ERP Systems and Business Applications

We Help support

When an ERP or business system feels unreliable, the issue is not always the software itself. The problem may be the server, workstation performance, network connectivity, remote access, backups, security controls, vendor access, or missing documentation.
Manufacturing ERP Systems
Production & Scheduling Systems
Inventory & Shipping Workflows
Custom Business Applications
Before taking responsibility for any environment, Interlink reviews how the system is hosted, accessed, backed up, supported, and coordinated with the software vendor. Support depends on the environment and the infrastructure needs — not just the platform name.
How ERP Infrastructure Support Connects to Business Outcomes

Three Outcomes That Depend on
Stable ERP Infrastructure

Outcome 01
Support Growth
As manufacturers add users, locations, machines, or production volume, the systems around ERP need to scale. Interlink helps identify infrastructure, access, and lifecycle gaps before they slow growth.
Outcome 02
Increase Efficiency
Recurring ERP access issues, slow workstations, unreliable shop floor connectivity, and vendor confusion waste time. Interlink helps reduce the operational friction around ERP by improving supportability and coordination.
Outcome 03
Reduce Risk
An ERP outage can affect quoting, scheduling, inventory, purchasing, shipping, and cash flow. Interlink helps reduce risk through backups, recovery planning, secure access, documentation, and lifecycle management.
Signs Your ERP Infrastructure Needs Review

Ten Warning Signs That the Environment
Around Your ERP May Need Attention

ERP performance issues are recurring but not documented
The ERP server is more than five years old
The ERP server operating system is unsupported or nearing end-of-life
Backup restore testing has not been completed recently
Remote access depends on insecure or informal methods
Vendor access is always-on or not logged
Production devices depend on ERP but are not documented
ERP users are added or removed without periodic access review
No one is sure who owns ERP-related infrastructure issues
ERP-related technology projects are handled only when something breaks

Common Questions

Questions About ERP Infrastructure Support


Does Interlink replace our ERP vendor?

No. Interlink does not replace your ERP vendor. We support the infrastructure, security, access, backup, documentation, and vendor coordination layers around the ERP system. When software-specific expertise is required, we help coordinate with the vendor.


Can Interlink support an ERP system you have not worked with before?

Yes, in many cases. Interlink's role is usually to support the technology environment around the ERP system — not the application itself. Before taking responsibility for any environment, we review how the system is hosted, accessed, backed up, secured, and supported by the software vendor.


Do you support Global Shop Solutions, IQMS/DELMIAworks, or FileMaker?

Interlink has experience supporting environments that use Global Shop Solutions, IQMS/DELMIAworks, FileMaker, and other manufacturing ERP or business systems. Support depends on the environment, vendor relationship, and infrastructure needs — not just the platform name.


Can you help with ERP performance problems?

Interlink can review infrastructure factors that may contribute to ERP performance issues — server health, workstation performance, network connectivity, storage, remote access, backups, and vendor coordination. Software-specific performance issues may require the ERP vendor or implementation partner.


Can you help prepare for an ERP server replacement?

Yes. Interlink can help plan the infrastructure side of an ERP server replacement — server lifecycle, backup planning, vendor coordination, access requirements, security controls, and cutover planning. Production-impacting changes are always scheduled around your production schedule.


Can you help with ERP backups and recovery?

Yes. Interlink reviews whether ERP servers and production-critical data are included in backup schedules, monitored for failures, protected with offsite or cloud copies, and tested for restore. An untested backup is not a reliable backup.


Is Your ERP Infrastructure Ready
to Support Production?

If your ERP system depends on aging servers, unreliable access, undocumented backups, unclear vendor coordination, or unsupported systems, a manufacturing IT assessment can help identify what needs attention before it becomes an emergency.
