Pillar II — Business IT

Business IT & Infrastructure Support

Managed IT for the operating companies, productions, and offices owned by our principals — quietly engineered and proactively maintained.

Pillar II

Engineering, not ticket-taking.

Pillar II is for the businesses behind the principal: the production company, the family-office operating entity, the foundation, the boutique, the studio. We run IT for these the way we’d run it for a Fortune 500: with senior engineering at the front, automation in the middle, and concierge service at the surface.

Our retainer clients receive a single accountable engineer, a direct phone line, and a four-hour SLA on inbound issues during business hours. Critical issues are escalated immediately, day or night.
