Technology Services for Your Farm

Pork producers are under pressure to increase output due to heightened demand driven by population growth. Using the same quantity of barns, farmers face the challenge of reducing costs while improving overall yields.

“Technology in the hog industry is just getting started and is something we as producers tremendously rely on. It’s time to get a team that can offer services that help assist in these technological advances so we can focus on raising pigs every day.” – Ben Dittmer, Grandview Farms, Inc.

If your business IT team could use expert IT skills to manage your infrastructure, augment your business security, or add help to free up your team to focus on other priorities, Orbit’s Co-Managed services are built to jump in and strengthen your existing solution immediately.

1. Connect & Align

Let’s determine if we’re a good match. We need to be the right fit for your business objectives the same way you need to be the right fit for our services. We’ll discuss needs, challenges, concerns, and plans to first better understand how your business has functioned in the past, where things are at today, and where you want it to be in the future.

These insights allow us to create a strategy to transform your business and stimulate growth by harnessing the power of technology. First, we’ll conduct a technology risk assessment and look for areas of opportunity, then sit down to discuss the results in detail.

2. Benchmarking

How is your technology performing today? How could it be better? Using smart tools, we’ll compare how your business technology works compared to optimal performance. This includes examining systems for risk, outdated software, slow performance, and indicators of future problems.

With your budget in mind, we’ll suggest upgrades to enhance day-to-day functionality and help you determine which items are the highest priority. Our benchmarking process is continuous; evaluations take place on a schedule to ensure that service stays aligned with your changing business needs.

3. Simple Onboarding

Switching solutions shouldn’t be hard, and it shouldn’t interrupt your day. Onboarding of new hardware and software takes place during slow or non-business hours, depending on your hours of operation. Our team will coordinate with yours to ensure a seamless implementation from start to finish.

It’s important to us that you know who works for you. During onboarding, introductions take place between your team, your account manager, and your service desk team at Orbit. When we say 24/7/365 support, we mean human support that you can rely on.

4. Strategic Planning

Our team creates a multi-year plan aligned with your business planning cycle. We want to ensure that we’re in sync every step of the way. Our job is to ensure your technology performs to its maximum capability to enhance the way your employees work and the service you provide to your customers.

We understand that business needs can change quickly. Quarterly business reviews (QBRs) create an opportunity for us to revisit, refresh, and reset as needed. At these meetings, we will evaluate current service satisfaction and look for areas to deliver even better performance. We’ll re-examine your technology and advise upgrades where it makes sense with your budget to get the most from your investment.
