At ANS, we pride ourselves on building long-lasting partnerships. As we continue our partner showcase, Ryan Martin, Head of Indirect at ANS, sat down with Sean Eldridge, owner at Endeavour Business IT Solutions to discuss their company, our partnership, and how we continue to grow together. With that said, let’s get to know Endeavour IT…
First of all, please introduce yourself and the company…
Hi, my name is Sean Eldridge and I founded Endeavour Business IT Solutions nearly 20 years ago. At Endeavour we work with a number of clients as an outsourced CTO and Managed Service Provider as well as on a variety of individual projects which include full stack web development, server migrations and Project Management.
Over the last few years, we have worked closely with our clients to improve their security and compliance. This has proven to help prepare their companies for growth.
What does your company stand for? What are your values?
The client always comes first.
Endeavour works closely with our clients to maximise value and deliver the right technology for every project. We listen to what our clients want to achieve, and always present viable options based on evaluating their systems. We offer a personal service focused on each client’s needs and goals.
Tell us about your proposition, key tech partners, and how you want to work with others…
We are a full market technology consultancy working with SMB and Enterprise clients to deliver complex projects.
We are not affiliated to any supplier which affords our clients a variety of options. We work closely with trusted companies such as ANS and Microsoft and are always looking to develop our business relationships with our suppliers to provide the best solutions for our clients and their technology projects.
Ultimately, what do you want your company to be known for?
Endeavour can deliver every project. We like a challenge, and nothing is ever too hard or too much!
Are there any technology areas on your radar screen/any trends in the market that interest you? And why?
We are currently focused on CMS Integration, particularly MS Dynamics and Azure Virtual Desktop. Our clients are also exploring and implementing a range of Teams features to replace their existing communication platforms.
With these core technologies businesses are going to be able to leverage the full power of AI in the future.
What is your biggest achievement/what are you most proud of?
Setting up and growing a successful Endeavour team as well as enjoying all aspects of the projects we deliver. Every day is different when your team gets to work on such diverse technology projects across a broad spectrum of business sectors.
How do you see your company evolving?
Endeavour will continue to evolve to our clients’ demands. We believe the fast rate of change and complexities of technology mean that an outsourced CTO is going to become even more essential for companies in the SMB space wanting to grow effectively and efficiently.
How would you describe your partnership with ANS?
We have had a good working relationship with ANS for over 15 years and it is one which I see developing further. ANS always provide the core server and cloud infrastructure that our clients need.
What sets ANS apart from the competition?
ANS supports all aspects of the business to make sure that our clients get the right technologies to build their business. ANS help us build bespoke solutions that are tailored to our projects.
Any other comments/market viewpoints?
As AI adoption increases, advanced technical knowledge and skills are going to become more important and having the right technical advisors will be critical. Endeavour will be there to provide and share our insight and expertise.
Brief/Potted history of your company
In my late teens I started working with technology and very soon realised that this was my passion. Over the next few years, my work focussed on building and developing in-house bespoke IT systems. Endeavour was formed on the back of a chat with my employer at the time whilst studying for an MSc in Computing. They became one of Endeavour’s first clients and the rest is history!
