For business networks located throughout the state of Idaho, Progent's Microsoft and Cisco certified consultants can provide phone help and remote troubleshooting to repair your computer network troubles fast and cost effectively. Progent has acquired world-class expertise, sophisticated tools, and support knowledge bases to identify and repair IT problems while avoiding the expense and delays normally associated with on-site service dispatches.

If your Idaho small business is situated beyond the larger urban areas such as Boise City, Pocatello, Idaho Falls, or Lewiston, your nearby network support options may be limited in expertise, or unavailable during urgent situations. This can result in a computer network that is unpredictable or causing wasted time due to technical issues going unresolved for too long. Progent’s group of network engineers average more than 10 years of real-world industry experience, in the trenches of computer network support, performing a large range of technical projects for a diverse range of clients. This means you obtain not just the technical expertise needed for the job, but an expert with field proven methods for applying that expertise to provide efficient network solutions.

Virtual Education for Desktop Applications
Progent provides online virtual training for popular client programs and environments including Excel, Word, Publisher, Project, Acrobat Writer, Photoshop, Crystal Reports, and Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows 7. Webinar-based learning offers the advantages of traditional in-person sessions, such as immediate communication between students and teachers, but avoids the costs of transportation and the challenge of attempting to synchronize the schedules of multiple trainees.

Virtual Hosting Services
Progent's Virtual Hosting support offers proven virtualization platforms, a state-of-the-art data center, and the support expertise of Progent's Microsoft Gold qualified engineering team to give small companies a complete network outsourcing alternative that enhances system availability and security, eliminates management hassle, and lowers expenses. Under Progent's Virtual Data Center Hosting model, the client owns the data, the operating systems, and the software applications. Because the system is virtualized, it can be moved immediately to a new hardware host without time-consuming and chancy reinstallation and configuration. With Virtual Hosting, your network is not held hostage to a single hosting provider.

Remote Computer Network Administration and Troubleshooting
Remote support utilities and techniques have improved to the point that there is rarely a need for hands-on access to equipment in order to provide efficient support. Remote system support services offered by Progent include operating system setup or upgrades, network troubleshooting, disaster recovery, plus mass storage and router configuration. In situations that require in person technical support, Progent can dispatch a service expert to any state and the majority of zip codes in the United States within 24 hours.

Best Practices Applied by Seasoned Consultants
Many organizations situated far from areas with plentiful network engineers utilize less qualified or inexperienced local consultants for critical computer network support services. This can produce a network that is unstable or unproductive. Progent’s team of Microsoft and Cisco certified engineers average more than ten years of real-world industry background, in the trenches of IT support, performing an extensive range of technical tasks for a broad mix of clients. This means that with Progent you receive not only high-level technical knowledge, but an engineer who understands computer industry best practices in using those skills to resolve actual business network issues efficiently and in a repeatable fashion.
