Manufacturing

SMart Technology Is Critical in Manufacturing.

Manufacturing companies face a complex mix of challenges—from rising customer expectations and supply chain disruptions to the ongoing need for greater efficiency and innovation. To stay competitive, Salesforce’s Trends in Manufacturing report reveals that 85% of manufacturing leaders believe modernizing their tools and systems is critical for future success. But digital transformation also brings new risks. A survey by NIST found that 88% of small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) feel vulnerable to a cyberattack, yet only 46% have identified cybersecurity threats, and just 36% have conducted a risk assessment. To thrive, manufacturers need an integrated approach—one that strengthens security, connects teams and systems, and delivers real-time insights to drive smarter decisions and sustainable growth.

That’s where Ascend Technologies comes in. We provide manufacturing businesses with a full suite of tailored solutions designed to address these challenges head-on. From robust cybersecurity protection and modern IT infrastructure to advanced Microsoft and Salesforce solutions, we help streamline operations, connect your teams, and enhance productivity. Our goal is to empower your business with the right technology to increase efficiency, reduce risk, and fuel long-term growt
