The Hard Truth

Let’s be honest: You can’t run a modern production line on legacy infrastructure. We walked into a plant in Maryville that had the demand to grow but was being strangled by its own technology. Their rigid, outdated systems couldn't communicate with each other, and their field techs were fighting for connectivity rather than solving problems. They were trying to scale a Ferrari with a lawnmower engine.

The Hyperion Standard


We don't do "band-aids." We look at your business through three mandatory lenses: Stability, Security, and Operations. We executed a complete overhaul to turn their IT from a liability into an asset:


  • Operations (Cloud Agility): We ripped out their old on-premises servers and migrated them to a cloud platform built for real business. Now, their production planning isn’t stuck in the Stone Age. Their data is at their fingertips, whether they’re on the floor or halfway across the state, and scaling up is as simple as calling a play.
  • Security (Remote Connectivity): We locked down their mobile devices and gave their field team secure, instant access to everything they need. This isn’t just about checking a compliance box. It’s about making sure your people can move as fast as the business demands, without opening the door to threats.
  • Stability (IoT Integration): We built a single, rock-solid network so every machine on the floor talks to the data center in real time. No more chasing down data or waiting on manual updates. Decisions happen at game speed, not yesterday’s pace.


The "Sleep at Night" Result


The long and the short of it? We removed the ceiling on their growth.


  • 30% Production Lift: By removing the friction of disconnected systems, efficiency skyrocketed.
  • $40,000 Annual Savings: Cutting the waste of legacy maintenance paid for the investment and then some.
  • Remote-Ready: Field techs are now fully integrated and productive.
“Now we’re built to scale — and it shows.”

Here’s the reality: If you’re looking for the Walmart special, there are plenty of folks who’ll keep your old servers limping along. But if you want enterprise-grade resilience and a real shot at 30% more efficiency, let’s talk.
