Full Documentation of IT Services
Progent has developed a sophisticated service reporting system that records and archives detailed documentation for all delivered services. Unlike freelance consultants who often provide scant documentation or details of services performed, every service provided by Progent is accompanied by comprehensive documentation. Every Progent staff member has full access to the service reports generated by every staff member to every client. The discipline of documenting and storing service records results in more efficient service and avoids a variety of common and unfortunate scenarios  such as when a service customer is effectively held hostage to a consultant who won’t release the keys to the kingdom.

Key features and benefits of Progent's services documentation include:

  • Promote Best Practices
    Progent's highly evolved service reporting system provides detailed documentation for all delivered services. Every Progent staff member has full access to all the details of services delivered by any staff member to every client. This record of problems and solutions, as well as false alarms and missteps, is organized as an easily accessible and searchable internal database that allows Progent's consultants to share their experiences company-wide so that the overall effectiveness of Progent's support grows over time.

  • Avoid Dependence on a Single Service Provider
    The accumulated service reports created for your company by Progent help you avoid becoming dependent on a single consultant. Detailed service reports make it possible for one Progent consultant to take up where another left off while minimizing time spent getting up to speed on your network environment. Another benefit of Progent's service reporting system is that your company can more easily build up an internal IT support organization if and when it becomes economical to do so, or you can move to another consulting firm if you become dissatisfied with Progent's service.

  • Track Where Your Support Dollars are Spent
    Progent's service reports can help you evaluate the effectiveness of Progent's consultants, compare budgeted expenses to actual ones, and estimate future support costs. In case your company is considering building up your IT staff in order to assume more support responsibility internally, Progent's service reports will provide the return on investment data to help you make an informed make-or-buy decision.
