Modern cultural institutions need modern infrastructure.

Many nonprofits run critical operations on systems nobody fully documents anymore. We modernize them safely and treat the records inside as the point of the work.

WHAT WE USUALLY FIND

The institution is running on systems nobody can explain.

Aging servers · fragile backups · legacy remote access · outdated CMS · disconnected databases · unclear disaster recovery · knowledge that lives in one person.

SERVICES

Move the systems. Preserve the institution.

01

Cloud migration

Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud; VM and storage migration; network architecture; identity and access.

02

Server recovery

Bare-metal recovery, backup restoration, VM reconstruction, application recovery, and validation.

03

Backup & disaster recovery

Offsite and immutable backup, retention strategy, restore testing, and continuity.

04

Security

Account hardening, least privilege, remote-access security, credential rotation, incident response, and audit logging.

05

CMS & web infrastructure

Modern CMS, Sanity, Vercel, Cloudflare, DNS, search, indexing, and redirects.

06

Data migration

Legacy databases, collection systems, archives, spreadsheets, file servers, and DAM.

VALIDATION

We do not just move technology. We prove that institutional knowledge, records, and operations survived the move.

Every migration ends with restored files opened, databases queried, applications exercised, permissions checked, and a written record the institution owns.

DISCOVERY

Be findable, by people and by machines.

Structured data, sitemaps, redirects, and clean indexing help search engines and AI systems answer from the institution’s own knowledge.
