Jeni Clift and her husband, Nick, established DWM Solutions in February 2005. DWM is an IT solutions provider, our main customer base is local government, water authorities and small to medium business throughout regional Victoria, SA and southern NSW. As it is not a "traditional" retail business that deals direct with the public, advertising to the right audience can be difficult.
