 Business 

p a n h o r s t . n e t, L.L.C.  technology services include:

Technology product management (network, server, desktop, laptop, tablet, smartphone hardware and software) — evaluation, recommendation, installation, configuration, upgrades, maintenance, and troubleshooting

Technology vendor management — phone system, copiers, printers, Internet Service Provider (ISP), etc.

Web development — from domain name registration and a business card web site, to the recommendation of industry-specific web site specialists or custom web site development/maintenance

Custom programming — when you have very specialized needs

p a n h o r s t . n e t, L.L.C.  typically helps companies with 1 to 30 computers — companies that generally don't need full-time technology staff, but still need help with their technology. Office computing environments set up by  p a n h o r s t . n e t, L.L.C.  typically include a remotely-managed firewall, anti-virus/malware protection, a shared file server (if necessary), and automated backups.

For many companies,  p a n h o r s t . n e t, L.L.C.  handles all aspects of their technology, from initial recommendation of computers, printers, fax machines, copiers, a phone system, and software, to on-going end-user computer support. But,  p a n h o r s t . n e t, L.L.C.  can also just provide technology services on an as-needed basis for those companies that only want help in certain areas.

p a n h o r s t . n e t, L.L.C.  helps larger companies by supplementing full-time technology staff in handling specific projects, such as web development or other custom programming or covering for technology staff that are unavailable.


 Residential 

More and more technology is ending up in our homes for a variety of purposes.

There are laptops and desktops, of course. But, now there are also a plethora of more portable devices, smartphones and tablets, along with "smart" TVs, Blu-ray players, and many other gadgets to connect devices to content, in your home and elsewhere. This necessitates a pervasive and robust wireless network for effective communications, often a challenge in homes with a sprawling layout or with certain construction materials.

All of these technology components promise that they are easy to configure, but all too often they require some expert attention.

p a n h o r s t . n e t, L.L.C.  is happy to put an end to your frustration and supply the necessary expertise to ensure everything is working well.

On-site "house calls" are available.

Or, when possible, phone support and remote control are utilized to provide quick troubleshooting and resolution at an even lower cost.


 Cost-Conscious 

While most technology service companies assess fixed-price monthly support fees based on the number of devices, that arrangement only ensures that you are overcharged and poorly serviced.

With  p a n h o r s t . n e t, L.L.C.'s hourly rates...

  You get what you pay for and you pay for what you get.  

It is the only way for you to get the most out of your technology while minimizing costs.

Rates are less than the cost of a typical service person (electrician, plumber) and for services much more complex and vital to the success of your business.

Remote access technology is utilized in order to provide fast service and reduce the number of site visits to your office.

Rates for off-site work are significantly discounted, allowing you to get quicker service and pay less for it!

Services are performed under your direction and are shown on a detailed invoice.
