Frequently Asked Questions

We already have IT staff. Why would we need you?

We love working alongside internal teams. Most plants have one or two in-house people stretched across break/fix, upgrades, cybersecurity, and compliance. We complement that team by filling in gaps, handling big-picture strategy, providing after-hours coverage, or managing things they simply don’t have time for—so they can focus on what they do best.

How do I know if my plant’s IT is ‘good enough’?

If you’ve had downtime, delays with upgrades, failed audits, or you’re relying on one person to handle everything—it’s worth reviewing. Our free readiness checklist gives you a high-level picture of where things stand. From there, we can offer insights based on trends we’re seeing across the industry.

Will bringing you in disrupt production?

No way. We understand shift schedules, system uptime requirements, and the importance of minimizing interference. Any work we do is carefully planned around your production flow to keep things moving.

What if we don’t have the budget for a full-time IT team?

That’s exactly when we can help most. With co-managed or fully managed options, we give you access to a team of specialists—without the cost of multiple full-time hires. We scale with you, and we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all contracts.

We’re thinking about automation and AI—can you help us plan for that?

Yes. Whether you’re exploring Industry 4.0 technologies, predictive maintenance, or IoT devices on the shop floor, we help you design an IT infrastructure that can support those tools efficiently, and more importantly, securely.

What makes InnoTek different from other IT providers?

Along with everything else that sets us above the rest, we understand manufacturing. We’ve worked with plants of all sizes across Pennsylvania for 25+ years, and we speak your language—throughput, uptime, compliance, OT, and ROI. We’re not just here to fix issues—we help you prevent them, plan for growth, and keep IT aligned with operations.
