Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Small Organizations in Miami
Progent's online support services allow your City# small company to experience the advantages of on-call, expert IT support without the cost of managing an in-house IT organization. Your information system will derive greater strategic value by becoming more available, productive, and protected. Advantages to your company include:

  • Convenient remote expansion of your on-site support resources
    For most small businesses in Miami and throughout Florida, local network service resources, whether made up of independent consultants or a full-time maintenance staff, can take care of the majority of network problems. However, major troubles may spring up when local support personnel are overstretched or absent, and some trouble may involve technology that is unfamiliar to your local support personnel. In these instances, Progent's on-call service experts give you an easy, quick, and affordable way to augment your regular resources and to transfer valuable information to increase your ability to resolve downstream problems locally.

  • Reduced Reliance on Individual Consultants
    For IT maintenance, small organizations commonly rely on independent freelance service providers. Although independent service people have less internal costs than larger support organizations and can often charge lower rates, they are sometimes overextended, making it hard to respond rapidly to crisis situations. If an independent consultant is busy with another client, sick, on a trip, or in training, the lack of backup personnel may force your company to wait for assistance during an IT crisis. As your company expands, system unavailability and problems with critical applications are more expensive. The money you thought you were saving on an independent can be consumed fast by lost productivity. Progent provides a reliable source of reserve support expertise to make sure your network is always up and running.

  • Create a Scalable Basis for Smooth Growth
    New businesses typically start with an information architecture implemented on a modest budget. Without a robust framework, band-aid fixes can get thrown onto an unstable foundation. When a network grows, reliability and expandability issues can impede the productivity of the organization. These poorly designed systems require careful assessment, smart long-term planning, and extensive IT knowledge to evolve to a network architecture that can deliver the solid foundation to meet vital business demands and simplify downstream growth.

  • Interact with Problem Solvers Instead of Technology Vendors
    Small companies need guidance and technical education to negotiate an increasingly complicated array of technology options available for accelerating business growth and enhancing productivity. These companies hardly need a computer consultant who is attempting to resell a certain vendor's products. Network support and product sales can result in a scenario where the proposed solution is designed around a profitable product rather than the genuine needs of a small business. Progent avoids these conflicts of interest by selling only services rather than products. This allows Progent to align IT expertise with the best interests of customers.
