Mission Statement
I've dedicated my career to resolving the most complex problems the Broadcast and Film industries have to offer. In a world of service level agreements and five nines up-time, it is not acceptable to show the "technical difficulties, please stand by" slate. And it is very interesting how often the most painful concerns can be mitigated or prevented with a few key pieces put into place.
Even the best systems fail. The true test is how we react, and then recover from the unexpected.
If the Storage Area Network or Asset Management System is down, what are your backup plans to ensure business continuity?
If (component A) fails, what resource is available to take over its responsibility?
If we need to rebuild (Server X, Dataset Y, Workflow Z), how long will that take?
