Backup and archive
A backup that can handle large projects and whose restore we test.
Security and backupIT partner in Hilversum for freelancers, production and business services
Hilversum is best known for the media. That brings its own IT questions: large files, many separate collaborations and work that must never disappear.
Hilversum
Media city with many freelancers
Hilversum lies in North Holland, in the Gooi region, and is known as a media city. Around the Media Park and in the rest of the city there are broadcasters, production companies and a large number of freelancers: editors, sound engineers, directors, copywriters, designers and photographers. There are also offices of advisers, estate agents and other business service providers.
For a freelancer or small production company IT is part of the work. The end product consists of large files, picture and sound that must go to a client, and source files that have to be kept for years. A laptop that fails during an edit or a disk that breaks with the archive on it is annoying and costs revenue immediately.
Hilversum lies in the Gooi part of our home region. We work with you remotely and come by when a studio, a home office or a small office has to be set up.
For creatives
What a freelancer or small production company needs
What a broadcaster with its own IT department arranges, you as a freelancer have to get in order yourself. These are the points we help with most often:
- A backup of projects and archive, in two places, one of them outside your own office
- Storage and sharing of large files with clients and colleagues, without the email bouncing because it is too big
- Fast and stable internet with a router that is not the bottleneck, for uploads and video calls
- Licences and subscriptions under control, so you know what you pay for and what you do not use
- A secure link to a client's workplace, if they ask for it

Also for offices in and around the centre
Not everyone in Hilversum works in the media. There are also advisory firms, estate agents, bookkeeping offices and small businesses with a shop or workshop. For them the story is more familiar: an office of five to fifteen people without an IT department, with mail, files and a website that have to do the job.
We work the same way for them, with the pages on IT management, IT support and Microsoft 365. For the rest of the Gooi region you will find more under Gooi and Vecht region.
Frequently asked questions about IT in Hilversum
How do I make a good backup of large video projects?
Keep it simple and in two places: a local copy, for example on an external disk or network storage, and a copy outside your office in the cloud. What belongs in it depends on your projects and on how often something changes. We set that up with you and test the restore.
Can you help set up a small studio or home office?
Yes, mainly on the side of network, storage, backup and security. For the audio and video equipment itself you are better off with a specialist. We make sure the network around it is not a limitation.
Do you also work for businesses in other places in the Gooi region?
Yes. Besides Hilversum we help business owners from, for example, Bussum, Naarden, Huizen, Laren and Blaricum, remotely and with a visit where needed. See the page about the Gooi and Vecht region.
What if I work from several locations?
Then we set up an environment where you reach the same files and the same mail everywhere, with multi-factor sign-in. Your workplace is then your account and not one laptop.
