Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Small Organizations in Miami
Progent's remote IT consulting services allow your City# small business to have the advantages of on-call, expert IT support without the expense of managing a full-time IT staff. Your information system will acquire added business worth by becoming more reliable, productive, and secure. Benefits to your company include:

  • Convenient virtual extension of your local support resources
    With most small companies in Miami or anywhere in Florida, local network service resources, whether made up of freelance consultants or a full-time maintenance staff, can handle the majority of technical problems. On the other hand, serious problems might spring up when local resources are too busy or absent, and some trouble may stem from technology that is beyond the scope of your local service technicians. In these instances, Progent's on-call support professionals give you a convenient, fast, and budget-friendly solution to supplement your regular help and to convey valuable knowledge to increase your ability to deal with downstream issues in-house.

  • Less Dependence on Individual Consultants
    For IT maintenance, small organizations commonly depend on individual freelance service providers. While independent service people carry smaller overhead than larger support organizations and can afford to charge marginally less, they are often overextended, making it impossible to respond quickly to crisis situations. If a freelance service provider is occupied with another customer, ill, on vacation, or in class, the lack of fallback help may require your business to wait for help during an IT crisis. As your network expands, system downtime and problems with vital applications become more expensive. The budget you thought you were saving on an independent can be eaten up quickly by lost productivity. Progent offers a reliable source of backup service expertise to make sure your IT system stays available.

  • Build a Scalable Foundation for Smooth Growth
    New companies typically begin with an IT system created on a shoestring budget. Without a scalable infrastructure, band-aid fixes often get thrown onto a weak foundation. As a network grows, reliability and scalability problems can impede the success of the business. Such badly built environments require proper analysis, smart long-term planning, and wide IT expertise to evolve to a network architecture able to offer the solid foundation to meet current business demands and ease downstream expansion.

  • Interact with Solution Providers Rather Than Product Resellers
    Small organizations require guidance and technical training to negotiate an ever more complicated array of technology alternatives capable of accelerating business success and improving efficiency. These companies do not need a computer consultant who is trying to sell a specific vendor's technology. IT consulting and product selling can result in a scenario where the proposed solution is designed around a predetermined product rather than the genuine needs of a small business. Progent avoids these conflicts by offering just services instead of products. This allows Progent to align technical consulting with the real needs of customers.

How Is Progent Unique from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner consulting company and Progent's number of employees, range of technical expertise, refined remote support software, and familiarity with enterprise networking enable small businesses to avoid the pitfalls of excessive dependence on smaller service firms, individual freelance consultants, or limited in-house resources.

Progent stands out by offering:

  • Proven Methodology
    Progent’s team of Microsoft and Cisco certified consultants average longer than a decade of real-world professional background, at the forefront of IT support, executing a wide variety of IT projects for an extensive array of businesses.

  • Value Pricing
    Progent's pricing model is to charge for remote support and in-person help per minute. Consequently, you pay exclusively for delivered support.

Also, Progent applies no service activation charge and requires no monthly commitment. Many support organizations impose substantial minimum payments or charge for every quarter hour or longer. Progent's small granularity avoids large invoices for quick solutions so you won't be tempted to permit minor problems to stay unaddressed.

  • Complete Records of Delivered Services
    Progent has created a comprehensive service reporting system that stores and formats detailed documentation for all billed services. Unlike some independent consultants or small service organizations who offer minimal documentation or details of tasks done, every service provided by Progent is tracked by full documentation. Every Progent consultant has use of the service reports sent by every staff member to each client. The discipline of documenting and archiving service records results in more effective support and eliminates a variety of typical problems such as when a service customer is virtually held hostage to a consultant who refuses to release the keys to the kingdom.

  • 24x7 Network Monitoring with MS System Center Operations Manager 2007
    Progent is one of the few support companies to provide round-the-clock system monitoring services based on Microsoft Operations Manager 2007. MS Operations Manager 2007 allows your network maintenance to be proactive rather than reactive. By anticipating possible issues before they result in downtime, system monitoring can keep your information network from painful and expensive service disruptions.
