About the Company
Entre Computer Services (Entre) opened in August 1984 with a staff of fewer then 10. Today, it has grown to nearly 100 experienced and skilled individuals. Led by President and CEO Andre Godfrey, Entre's staff includes networking and application engineers, technicians, managers, graphic designers, data architects, programmers, developers, and business consultants. Entre provides business solutions utilizing core services, which include IT Managed Services, web and application development, information systems consulting, network and server engineering, supplemental IT staffing, hardware and software sales as well as installation services.

Entre is the largest area provider of IT Managed Services and supports IT functions in varying ways for hundreds of local companies, some that employ more than 10,000, others that have fewer than 50 employees.
What may surprise some is the breadth and depth of Entre's services considering its relatively small staff size. It has developed major proprietary applications for hospitals as well as large manufacturers, and supported systems across the globe from Helsinki to Singapore.

Challenges
Entre Computer Services has the same challenges it's always had, specifically the fluidity and continuous changes within the computing industry, as well as fluctuations within the economy. "We're fortunate in that our mantra remains the same; that in 'good times' technology is a great tool to maximize productivity and profits and during 'down times', technology is a great way to take advantage of the assets you have and minimize overhead," said Godfrey.

What's New
Entre is enjoying significant interest in its newly rolled out application, Escreen, which helps companies communicate with personnel through idle computers, using built-in screensaver controls. The new application was unveiled in May and is already receiving high praise and international inquiries.

Rochester Business Alliance Member
Entre has been a part of the Rochester Business Alliance and its predecessors since its inception. "Our RBA representative was in recently to speak with us and it looks like we'll be taking advantage of even more of your offerings. We've always relied on the RBA to be our voice in Albany, but now you're providing us with elements of employment services and other membership benefits," said Godfrey.
