Data Management Solutions
Keeping in top of your data in multi-device workflows during a shoot and managing it through the editing process, is becoming a significant issue for photography studios, whether you’re working alone or as part of a large production studio. We have a wealth of experience, working on projects with creative teams dispersed across global studios where real-time collaboration, centralised asset management, archiving and backup were significant issues, and have put together a range of robust solutions for photographers, studios, creative agencies and in-house brand teams.
This goes beyond the standard 3-2-1 backup strategy (important as that is!), it’s a deep dive into your current way of working and then building a solution that works for you from a portfolio of industry leading brands.
Strategy
A standard strategy for all creatives, the 3-2-1 backup rule provides a basic starting point for your data management strategy. But what about real time redundancy and how can it work for you in a hybrid working world. Redundancy prevents failure on the job, while back-ups prevent data loss now and into the future. We build both redundancy and backup strategies and the infrastructure to support a robust data management plan for individuals and teams.
Process
Shooting in an environment where a combination of tether stations, desktops, laptops, tablets and phones are part of a photographers daily workflow, creates the potential for data loss and accessibility issues for collaboration. Workflows helps teams to remove and mitigate these risks, using both process design and selecting appropriate tools to suit your working scenario.
Redundancy
Working on set or on location, and moving between a tether station and monitor with a client, maintaining uptime on a shoot and managing your data in realtime is a critical consideration. We work with photographers and creative teams to build systems that provide seamless real time sharing and collaboration, whilst ensuring no preventable loss of data or productivity on the job.
Backup
Offloading data from devices to avoid performance bottlenecks and realtime backups demand a different solution to project level backup pre final delivery. Then there's the consideration of long term archiving of work, with each step requiring a different approach. With so many options available, workflows will work with you to select the best methods and hardware solutions, from working drive SSDs, NAS and Cloud through to archival grade tape storage as part of a total data backup strategy.
Tried & Tested
Workflows is a consultancy first and foremost, working with clients to find the best solution for their particular requirements. Product recommendations are always based on that assessment, and take account of factors from working environment through to budget, whilst also ensuring there are alternatives to consider.
