Does Preferred Data understand Cumberland County manufacturing IT needs?
Manufacturing is our heritage. Our PDC Software Suite was built specifically for North Carolina manufacturers, and we have spent 37+ years supporting shop floors, ERP systems, OT/IT convergence, and industrial networking. For Cumberland County manufacturers, we address unique challenges: securing operational technology, maintaining uptime on production networks, integrating legacy equipment, and meeting industry compliance requirements.
What does onboarding with Preferred Data look like for a Fayetteville business?
Week 1: We audit your current infrastructure - network, endpoints, security posture, backup status, and vendor contracts. Week 2-3: We deploy monitoring agents, security tools, and establish documentation. Week 4: Full managed services are active with your dedicated account manager. The entire process is designed to cause zero disruption to your Cumberland County team. We handle vendor transitions, password resets, and user communication on your behalf.
Should my Fayetteville business move to the cloud?
It depends on your operations. Many Cumberland County manufacturers benefit from hybrid approaches - keeping production systems on-premises while migrating email, file storage, and collaboration to the cloud. Preferred Data evaluates your current setup, bandwidth, compliance needs, and growth plans before recommending a strategy. We handle Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, and hybrid environments, and we never push a migration that does not make business sense for your situation.
How does Preferred Data protect Cumberland County business data?
We implement a 3-2-1 backup strategy: three copies of data, on two different media types, with one stored offsite. Cumberland County clients use cloud-first backup with geographic redundancy across multiple data centers. We test restores quarterly, document recovery procedures, and guarantee recovery time objectives. Your military data is protected against ransomware, hardware failure, and natural disasters.
