How a prominent Wisconsin-based casting manufacturer used SIB's cloud platform to shift operations quickly after disruptions and keep suppliers and clients informed in real time.

Protecting Sophisticated Equipment & Critical Operations

A prominent manufacturing firm headquartered in Wisconsin produces best-quality castings and is a major supplier for manufacturers across the country and around the world. Its production facility is equipped with the most sophisticated casting equipment — equipment that is prone to severe damage during a natural calamity.

The organization implemented SIB's cloud-based disaster recovery platform to manage its recovery operations with ease — enabling rapid notification of key personnel, seamless transfer to an alternate facility, and real-time management oversight through SIB's comprehensive dashboard.

  • Shift operations to alternate facility with minimal delay
  • Notify staff via email and SMS through integrated notification
  • Track recovery task status from a central dashboard
  • Keep suppliers and clients informed of all updates
