Marvin Huffaker, your personal expert for all GroupWise, OES, VMware, and Sophos services needs. Marvin is dedicated to a high level of quality and expertise in all services provided, and you’ll work with him personally and directly on all engagements.

The VIP Prepaid Service Hours are a great way to retain consulting services when you need help on a regular basis without a monthly contract. This option eliminates the paperwork and billing hassles, so the focus and effort can be on your projects and support issues.

Service blocks are purchased in advance, similar to a retainer. Prepaid blocks are entered into our ticketing/billing system and are valid for up to two years from the purchase date. For any services or work completed, we simply deduct the time from the remaining block balance. Prepaid hours can be used for virtually any service we typically provide, including projects, upgrades, migrations, outage support, general server issues, patches, planning and strategy, and more.

It's true that many projects and services can be performed remotely. However, with certain projects, there can be advantages to having an on-site engineer.  Sometimes you just need someone onsite and in-person to take care of things and take the project from start to finish.

If the nature of your project is such that you'd be more comfortable if I was onsite, I offer on-site services anywhere in the world at a fixed daily rate of $2900 USD per project day.

Please contact Marvin to discuss your project schedule, timeline, and number of days on-site before purchasing. This ensures that we set realistic expectations for project goals and timelines.

The flat daily rate does not include travel expenses. I simply pass through the expense of customary and reasonable travel costs at the end of the project. These generally include airfare, hotel, transportation, and any parking fees or tolls.

Time and materials based support gives you as-needed access to Marvin's expertise with Microfocus GroupWise, Open Enterprise Server,  VMWare, or Sophos security products. You can utilize time and materials for any support need including projects, break / fix, or updates and maintenance.

Time and Materials services is provided based on availability. I try to accommodate most situations, and I'll help out in a pinch if possible, but it's usually best to try to schedule in advance to ensure that I'm not tied up on another project.

For new customers, services will not be scheduled or provided until billing arrangements are confirmed. Once you've been established as a reliable customer, it's easy to skip the formalities and just work with me as needed.

If we work together on a Time and Materials basis, it's assumed that the work is completed remotely. If you have a bigger project or need on-site service, I have better options.  Just check out the other options on this page for VIP packages and on-site travel services.

Please complete the Time and Materials Support Agreement and fax or scan/email to Marvin at 480-269-8773.
