Does Preferred Data understand Sampson 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 Sampson County manufacturers, we address unique challenges: securing operational technology, maintaining uptime on production networks, integrating legacy equipment, and meeting industry compliance requirements.
How does Preferred Data protect Sampson County business data?
We implement a 3-2-1 backup strategy: three copies of data, on two different media types, with one stored offsite. Sampson 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 agriculture data is protected against ransomware, hardware failure, and natural disasters.
Who answers the phone when a Sampson County business calls for IT help?
A real technician in North Carolina. Our help desk is not outsourced or automated with chatbots. When your Clinton team calls (336) 886-3282, they reach experienced engineers who already have context on your environment. For after-hours emergencies, our on-call rotation ensures live response within 30 minutes. Every interaction is logged and tracked through resolution.
Should my Clinton business move to the cloud?
It depends on your operations. Many Sampson 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.
