Burlan Manufacturing needed assistance revamping its IT infrastructure, performing software updates, and preventing costly shutdowns.

Complete Network Was Ready to Help.


The Backstory

Established in 1971, Burlan Manufacturing boasts a cutting-edge manufacturing facility spanning 250,000 square feet, conveniently located mere minutes from Charlotte. Specializing in industrial and commercial applications, Burlan offers a diverse range of industrial-grade products, encompassing:

  • Wrap tape
  • Reinforcing fabrics
  • Strapping
  • Lashing products
  • Polyester sling webbing
  • Tie-down webbing
  • GatorEDGE®

Burlan’s customers rely on them for quick, reliable manufacturing solutions. When their systems go down, it can be catastrophic, resulting in delays for the businesses they serve, as well as operational inefficiencies. As their company continued to expand, Burlan needed help upgrading their existing IT systems and completing regular updates. Complete Network began working with Burlan Manufacturing in August 2020. Complete Network’s Brett Springall acts as Burlan’s vCIO (Virtual Chief Information Officer).

“There was one time when one of our key servers went down in the middle of the night, and Complete Network jumped straight into action. By 6:30 AM, they were able to get a cloned backup server ready and get 90% of our servers running again. I felt like they were warriors in that fight! Their speed and efficiency made all the difference.”

— James Anadell, ERP Project Manager/Inventory Manager at Burlan Manufacturing

The Complete Network Solution

Our vCIOs have decades of experience in successful IT strategies at large firms. They provide the same type of consultations and cover the same responsibilities as an in-house CIO, but do so virtually. In just a few years spanning our partnership with Burlan, Complete Network has:

  • Replaced departed IT Director with full support and consistent staffing at lower cost
  • Converted remote facility from expensive leased communication circuit to lower cost internet link
  • Increased cybersecurity with next-gen endpoint protection and enabled multi-factor authentication for SaaS applications and on-premise infrastructure
  • Replaced over-complex and failing server infrastructure, with hybrid cloud alternative, reducing capex and increasing flexibility
  • Designed IT infrastructure for new manufacturing facility
  • Provided ongoing cVIO consulting and guidance

“Complete Network has been instrumental in helping us upgrade our IT systems. Since we started working with them in August 2020, we’ve completed numerous projects including upgrading our entire VoIP system and moving our on-prem software and services to the cloud. Their guidance has been hugely valuable in helping us modernize.”

— James Anadell, ERP Project Manager/Inventory Manager at Burlan Manufacturing

What Comes Next
