Since 1977, Olson Packaging Services, a Certified Company, began supplying companies with exclusive JIT service for their packaging requirements. Since then they expanded services throughout the Midwest and Mexico to include raw material inventory management, sub-assembly for labor-intensive jobs, and general warehousing.
Olson packaging was looking for a managed services provider that could handle their unique IT needs and budget requirements. For a manufacturing company, it is imperative to have operations up and running 24/7/365. They needed a solution and partner that was transparent and had a knowledgeable staff that could support their IT needs in a timely fashion, not weeks later.
Olson Packaging needed a partner that could implement and support a cloud hosting solution for their custom applications. They needed to eliminate downtime situations that were causing a standstill in mission-critical operations. Olson Packaging struggled to achieve a high-available network and infrastructure that was required for their 24/7/365 operational requirements.
