Project files with a clear home
Agree where working files, client feedback and final deliverables belong. Consider storage capacity, access and ownership together, particularly where projects use large files or several collaboration tools.
Ideas & client projects
IT support for creative studios and marketing agencies
Give project teams a clearer way to share work, manage access and keep the everyday tools working.
Your working day
Keep the work moving towards delivery
Agency work moves between briefs, working files, feedback and final delivery. Teams may bring in freelancers or collaborate with clients across several tools. A consistent approach to file ownership and access helps people spend less time chasing the right version.
We can review the business IT around your creative workflow, including devices, Microsoft 365, storage and recovery. The applications and file sizes you use help shape the plan, alongside your existing suppliers and the way projects are handed over.
Practical priorities
Where support can make a difference
Freelancer and client collaboration
Plan how outside contributors receive access and how that access ends. Give each project an owner who can approve sharing and help keep workspaces organised as the team changes.
Device support that fits the workflow
Review the Mac and Windows equipment in use, application requirements and replacement needs. Agree the supported devices and the boundary with specialist creative software before defining the service.
A usable archive and recovery plan
Decide how completed work is retained, who can retrieve it and which live projects need priority during recovery. Review backup arrangements against the information actually used to produce and deliver client work.
Planning a change
Getting ready for a larger client project
A larger brief may involve more contributors, larger files or a different delivery process. Review storage, devices, application requirements and access before the team starts producing work. We can help plan the surrounding IT and agree who owns the shared project space. Include the client handover and archive requirements at the outset so that final files, working material and external permissions are dealt with consistently when the project finishes.
A useful first conversation
Make the priorities clear
Choose a recent project and map the tools, files and people involved from brief to handover. We can use that example to identify avoidable duplication, access gaps and recovery priorities.
Discuss your IT requirements- Where do staff look for the current version of a project?
- How do freelancers receive and hand back access?
- Which live files and applications would be needed first after disruption?
