Manufacturing

Driving efficiency, security, and uptime with IT solutions that connect production floors, supply chains, and enterprise operations. 

We engineer secure, reliable IT that powers modern manufacturing.

Maximize Uptime and Efficiency

Manufacturers rely on connected operations to meet production goals. Our solutions, including resilient networks, cloud platforms, and automation tools, minimize downtime while improving efficiency. This ensures facilities can maintain productivity, reduce disruptions, and stay competitive in demanding markets.

Protect Critical Data and Operations

Cybersecurity is essential for safeguarding intellectual property, connected devices, and production systems. We deploy firewalls, zero-trust strategies, endpoint protection, and cloud security to defend against evolving threats, ensuring operations remain secure and compliant across plant floors and enterprise systems.

Enable Connected Workforces

From plant engineers to remote teams, seamless collaboration is vital. We design communication and collaboration platforms that connect workforces securely and effectively, supporting decision-making, training, and operational agility across distributed facilities and global supply chains.

Tim Clark

Solutions Executive, K-12 Education

Fun fact: Tim keeps things simple outside of work. Most of his time is spent with his wife and daughter, with golf and cornhole mixed in when he can. He’d take a coffee or lunch meeting over a boardroom any day.

Helping K-12 Schools Build Secure, Reliable, and Scalable Technology Environments

Tim Clark works with K-12 school districts to plan and improve their technology environments. His focus is simple. Understand the school’s needs, align to budget and E-Rate, and help them move forward with the right infrastructure and support.
He supports public, private, and charter schools across Ohio and is known for being responsive, easy to work with, and consistent.
Focus Areas: Network infrastructure, wireless, security, co-managed IT (Laketec360), unified communications, and E-Rate planning.

 

Experience & Expertise

Tim works exclusively in K-12 environments and understands the day-to-day challenges schools face.

He typically supports districts managing multiple buildings, limited IT staff, and tight budgets, while still being expected to deliver reliable, secure technology across every classroom.

Most conversations center on improving infrastructure, strengthening security, and planning for what’s next, whether that is Wi-Fi upgrades, access control, or voice strategy

Tim’s career has been built inside Laketec, starting in a role focused on supporting K-12 customers and the E-Rate process. That foundation still shapes how he works today.

He brings a practical understanding of how to connect funding, infrastructure decisions, and long-term planning into something schools can execute.
