Endorfan Home

Large companies have CTOs and IT departments who to plan and implement best practice strategies customized for efficiency within their company. Smaller workgroups have the same technical challenges but lack the expertise resulting in a flurry of wasted time and resources. If you don’t have a full time CTO or IT then Endorfan fill the void with Endorfan.

Manage, diagnose, fix, upgrade, replace, and/or migrate PC hardware, network components and network systems.
Repair, reload, speed up, update, patch or reinstall, systems troubled with viruses, spy ware, or other software issues.

Reduce long term costs by developing and migrating to workstation configuration standards. (Ask about our tack record for seamless implementation of small and large scale hardware and software migrations).
Develop and manage websites and web tools. Supervise web and software developers.
Communicate with external ASP, ISP, equipment, web hosting and other technical service providers.

A little more for a little less. With our experience it is hard to not take a little time evaluating the computer and adding or removing minor things that will make it work faster. We normally go off script a little to do a little more for our clients. That said we rarely bill for items not specifically requested. When you compare our bills to the competition we are usually lower. That is not including that that we will bill you only for results that can not be assumed from other techs in our industry.

Techs may assist with some routine maintenance tasks during the service call that may not have been specifically requested. Depending on the circumstances we may not billed you for the routine maintenance tasks I completed in "spare time" during tech call. However to keep a computer running at its best routine maintenance is necessary. We will often suggest additional DIY tasks on our bill or on our on our tips website.

Computers need routine maintenance just like your automobiles or teeth. You can save time and money by doing many preventative maintenance tasks yourself. However, do it yourselfers (DIY's) make lots of time mistakes. Doing the wrong things or doing things wrong.

PC back up and restore: Like light bulbs, computer hard drives, batteries, motherboards, power supplies, and other parts will wear out after a limited number of hours powered on. Protect your valuable data by backing up your data to alternate media and turning your computers off when not in use. We are alos experts in creating Ghost images to protect your personalized configurations. These images can save you dozens of hours in re-setting up a crashed system.

We feel our billing standards are the most fair in the industry. To allow customers to weigh repair and replacement options wisely, many "shop time" projects are capped per project. This way we often can save your old hardware, data and configurations for a fixed cost. The time standards above represent our "shop time" standards for a task. Unfortunately, "On site time" is effected by client interruptions, slow computers, and complexities of multiple conflicting problems. In the lab or similar conditions, many tasks take much longer but can be billed at just standard "Shop time" because they can run partially unattended while the tech multi-tasks to other billable tasks. "Shop time "can be more cost efficient when you are billed for "tech on task time" only. Onsite work is billed at straight time but if there is a volume of work the tech will multi tasking efficiently whenever possible.

Warrantee of Services: Because we value earning your trust, Endorfan stands behind our work and bills on a basis of "completed values." If you are billed for a service that is ineffective we will re do the work for free or refund you for the related services (at our option). As Endorfan does not bill for manufacturing hardware and software we can not promise to "buy back" hardware or software we purchased on your behalf. Whenever practical, Endorfan will cooperate to enable you to follow through with your retailer or manufacturer for any applicable warrantees.

To keep our intentions pure Endorfan techs make no money selling or resell hardware or software. We feel this would create a conflict if interests. Tech who are on commission have a needless pressure to recommend personally profitible solutions. On the other hand we are willing to assist with technology purchases on a time and an expense reimbursement basis only.
