Why Progent Offers the Smart Alternative for Salem, Oregon Businesses
Progent's staff size, scope of information technology skill, and experience with corporate network consulting allow small and midsize companies to avoid the pitfalls related to over dependence on small service organizations or independent consultants.

Teaming with Progent allows your small business to:

• Prevent Excessive Reliance on Freelance Support Consultants
  For network support, smaller companies sometimes depend excessively on individual engineers. Though individual support engineers carry lower overhead than more substantial IT service firms and can afford to bill apparently smaller fees, freelancers are often unable to react quickly to urgent problems. If an independent consultant is busy with different customer, sick, on vacation, or in training, the absence of backup staff may force your business to go without assistance in case of a crisis. The more your small business expands, network downtime or problems with critical programs get more expensive. The money you thought you were conserving on an independent consultant can be eaten up quickly because of lost productivity. In addition, when independent engineers encounter unfamiliar technologies, the lack of a big engineering group to fall back on for advice requires them to train on the job while your company winds up with the costs for their continuing education.

• Gain Access to Expertise in Sophisticated Information Technology Solutions
  Many smaller support organizations or freelance consultants focused on small business IT consulting are capable of delivering connect-the-dots solutions but don't have the background to deal cost-effectively with complicated network infrastructures with a variety of platforms, multiple offices, VoIP implementations, remote workforces, integrated financial and analytical applications, data-driven web sites, and specialized business applications. Progent's background with worldwide enterprises and Progent's large team of experts can benefit your business because enterprise environments are characteristically complex, integration issues require thorough understanding of in numerous technical disciplines, and reaching a high degree of robustness, availability, and protection requires industry-proven leading practices.

• Build a Solid Foundation for Seamless Growth
  Small businesses typically start with a network cobbled together on a tight budget. Lacking a solid basis, a series of ad hoc fixes commonly get tossed on top of a tenuous foundation. As a business evolves, stability and expandability problems can hinder the success of the organization. These networks require proper evaluation, smart business analysis, and broad-based expertise to upgrade to an IT environment that will act as the solid basis to meet current business needs and ease downstream growth.

• Team with Solution Finders, Not Product Vendors
  Smaller companies require direction and insight to navigate through an increasingly complicated array of IT options available for accelerating business growth and enhancing efficiency. They do not need a network consultant or service organization that attempts to promote a product. Progent avoids conflicts of interest by not reselling any products. Progent offers consulting and services exclusively. This allows Progent to align consulting services with the genuine interests of clients. Mixing network support and product selling can lead to a conflict where the recommended solution is built around a preselected technology instead of being driven by the actual requirements of a client.
