IT Support Collingwood
For the studios, agencies and small production teams in the warehouses around Smith Street.
How we usually approach a Collingwood studio
Sort out the mixed fleet
Macs and Windows machines managed under one roof through Intune, with encryption on and patching happening whether or not anyone remembers to click update.
Fix the freelancer problem
Contractors and casuals need scoped, time-limited access to specific project folders, not a shared login and not the whole drive. Guest access in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace handles this properly.
Replace the NAS-in-a-cupboard
Either back it up off-site properly or move the working set to cloud storage. Large media libraries need a plan, not a hope, and we will tell you honestly which is cheaper for your volume.
Automate the repetitive parts
Studios run on quoting, timesheets and asset delivery. A lot of that can be automated, and we build those workflows as well as supporting the machines they run on.
