Why Progent Offers the Smart Alternative for Salem, Oregon Businesses
Progent's size, breadth and depth of information technology skill, and experience with corporate network consulting enable small companies to avoid the pitfalls related to over dependence on thinly staffed service firms or freelance consultants.

Working with Progent allows your small business to:

  • Avoid Over Reliance on Individual Consultants
    For IT services, smaller companies often rely heavily on independent consultants. Although individual support providers carry lower expenses than more substantial IT service firms and can typically bill nominally lower rates, they are sometimes stretched to far to react quickly to urgent situations. If an independent consultant is busy with different customer, ill, on vacation, or in class, the lack of backup personnel may force your company to go without help during a crisis. As your small business expands, network unavailability or difficulties with critical applications get more expensive. The dollars you believed you were conserving on a freelancer can be eaten up quickly because of lower productivity. Also, when independent consultants encounter new problems, the lack of a big engineering team to depend on for assistance requires them to learn in place while your organization ends up with the costs for their continuing education.

  • Gain Access to Expertise in Complex Network Solutions
    The majority of small service firms or freelance engineers who concentrate on small business network support may excel at delivering routine solutions but don't have the experience to deal efficiently with complicated IT configurations that have a variety of platforms, multiple sites, Voice over IP systems, mobile workforces, integrated financial and analytical software, data-driven web sites, and specialized business applications. Progent's experience with worldwide companies and Progent's large staff of experts can benefit your business because enterprise environments are inherently complex, integration issues demand thorough knowledge in many technical areas, and reaching a high degree of robustness, availability, and security calls for enterprise-proven best practices.

  • Build a Firm Foundation for Growth
    Small businesses typically start with an IT system implemented on a shoestring budget. Lacking a strong architecture, a series of improvised repairs commonly get piled onto of a marginal foundation. As a company evolves, reliability and expandability problems can obstruct the productivity of the organization. Such environments require proper assessment, intelligent strategic planning, and broad-based experience to migrate to an IT infrastructure that can provide the reliable basis to meet current business needs and ease downstream growth.

  • Work with Solution Consultants, Not Product Resellers
    Smaller businesses need direction and insight to navigate through an ever more complicated maze of IT alternatives offered for enabling growth and enhancing efficiency. Businesses do not need a network engineer or service organization that tries to promote a product. Progent avoids conflicted motives by not selling hardware and software. Progent offers consulting and services only. This allows Progent to align consulting support services with the genuine needs of customers. Combining IT consulting and product reselling can result in a situation where the proposed solution is based on a predetermined technology rather than being based on the actual requirements of a client.
