Making Sure You Shine

Lighting is a crucial element to any fashion show. The wrong filter can completely alter how a piece appears to the audience.

Without a Hitch

Lighting is a small piece of what makes a fashion show successful. There are entire teams of people who make sure everything is in place for the event to go off as flawlessly as possible. Similarly, patch management with your IT company works to make sure all of your software is up to date and functioning properly.

DMS will sift through software updates for you, decide which ones you really need, and implement them after business hours to save you from as much downtime as possible.

When the Worst Does Happen

Disaster recovery is an essential tool for any business. Nearly all companies will experience some kind of disaster that halts business operations. These events can be something as small as a power outage or server crash to much more serious things like a natural disaster or terrorist attack.

Derek Zoolander’s Magnum was basically the disaster recovery tool of the fashion show in the climax of the 2001 film. Zoolander’s face was what kept the show from descending into absolute chaos and saved the Malaysian Prime Minister from assassination.

Just like Magnum saved the day, disaster recovery can salvage and restore your business from a disaster before it even happens.
