Reliability starts with planning. As a medium-sized manufacturer, Wertheim relies on IT that’s stable, secure, and runs quietly in the background. Day in, day out, teams give their best—and need a digital infrastructure they can count on to protect the business and support success. Together with Bechtle, and under intense time pressure, they developed a solution tailored precisely to their needs, including legal and partner requirements. The process was smooth and collaborative, according to the IT team. The result: an IT system that remains stable, secure, and high-performing.
Challenge – Resilience over risk.
It was about more—about greater efficiency and stronger growth. As digitalisation progressed, Wertheim began asking some key questions:
- How can IT stay reliable and stable at all times?
- How can cyber threats be detected and stopped early?
- How can IT move beyond infrastructure and become a driver of success?
Solution – The perfect balance of security and performance.
Bechtle’s Alex Bich played a key role, applying his deep expertise to develop a strategy that didn’t just work on paper, but proven and further refined in practice.
As a manufacturer, we had to expand our emergency management using limited IT resources. Bechtle delivered a business continuity and disaster recovery strategy that worked from day one and was tested under realistic conditions. Cyber incident response simulations ensured the concept would hold up in practice. Today, we have a solid foundation in place—ready to support robust IT security, ISO 27001 compliance, and continued digitalisation.
