The Engineering and Manufacturing Network (EMN) is pleased to announce that it has recently selected CMYK Business Technology as their new Managed IT Services Provider and Affiliate Member, for providing Managed IT Services to other members across the network.
The new partnership means that CMYK will be responsible for managing and supporting all IT infrastructure to EMN, including supporting them on hardware, cyber security, licensing, day-to-day user support and consultancy services; helping EMN to improve integration and automation of their internal software systems.
CMYK has been operating across the North East for over two years and joined EMN in early 2022, as part of their strategy to gain further exposure to the manufacturing and engineering sectors. Since then, CMYK have worked closely alongside EMN, supporting the organisation at the flagship EMCON event in 2022 as visitor registration sponsor, managing all exhibitors and delegates who attended the event.
After being selected as the EMN’s preferred IT supplier in January 2023 and being impressed by their professionalism, skillset, and smooth onboarding process, EMN decided that CMYK would be a perfect fit to become an Affiliate Member for the network, to provide Managed IT Services, support and consultancy services to the other members.
Ailsa Anderson, Director of Development at EMN, said: “We carefully select our Affiliates based on the needs of our engineering and manufacturing members. It’s really important to our members that our Affiliates share the same culture and values of EMN, serving the entire engineering and manufacturing community, offering a helping hand and supporting them to rapidly overcome challenges. I’m delighted to welcome CMYK on board and the free two hour IT Security Review will be really beneficial to many of our members”.
Sarah Wharrier, Regional Sales Director for CMYK added: “We have had such a positive experience so far working with the EMN and we feel the work that they do is pivotal to supporting the engineering and manufacturing sectors across our region, so we are thrilled to have been selected as their trusted IT Support provider and Affiliate Member, which will only continue to strengthen our partnership. The team at EMN have been so supportive from day one and we have already gained several new clients from joining the Network, which is fantastic. We look forward to a long and successful relationship working with the team at EMN and we are delighted to be able to offer wider support to other members across the network through our Affiliate Membership.”
