Onsite Service Available in San Jose, Santa Clara, Campbell, Saratoga, Los Gatos

San Jose and Silicon Valley small businesses benefit from IT outsourcing by cutting costs and enhancing the competitive value of their business network. IT outsourcing makes it possible for small companies to receive the services of certified IT experts without having to absorb the ongoing cost of a large internal IT staff. IT outsourcing lets your company focus on critical business issues and leave information technology services to experienced and efficient professionals.

Once considered too expensive for small businesses, IT outsourcing is becoming common among companies who wish to:

  • Keep management focused on core business issues
  • Minimize IT costs and control operating expenses
  • Free internal resources for line-of-business tasks
  • Have easy access to world-class IT professionals
  • Add complementary outside expertise to in-house IT staff

    Extensive practical experience providing network support to small businesses allows Progent to offer IT outsourcing services that align well with your IT budget and operational requirements. Progent requires no long-term contractual commitment from you, but simply uses reliable service to build lasting business relationships.

    By-the-Minute Pricing

    Progent's simple engagement model eliminates complex contracts, retainers or hidden fees. For Progent's urgent remote technical support, you pay exclusively for the actual time spent working on your solution. If it only requires ten minutes to take care of your trouble, then you only pay for ten minutes. For emergency same-day on-site service visits, you might have to pay for our consultant's transportation time, but never an increased emergency or off-hours rate. Because Progent has a large pool of expert consultants situated throughout the U.S., on-site support is available in every state and in most zip codes. Progent's online emergency support group has delivered help to small businesses in every state.

    Disaster Recovery Consulting Services

    eCommerce Web Development

    Progent can help you to design web sites that are integrated with sales and inventory applications to reduce the cost and increase the productivity of on-line B2B or buy-side to sell-side business. Progent can show you how to design custom web solutions based on standard authoring tools or modify off-the-shelf applications so that they suit your unique business needs.

    Wireless Consulting

    Progent's wireless service includes conventional 802.11 infrastructure but can also help your organization with wireless bridges, which offer a speedy and cost effective way to establish secure, high performance data connectivity between office buildings. This can eliminate the outlay of an extra leased line, provide an emergency redundant communication link, or perform as bargain priced data backhaul. By reducing setup expenses and avoiding ongoing fees for conventional T1, E1 or DS-3 circuits, wireless bridges usually pay for themselves in less than a year.

    Complete Documentation of Support Services Delivered

    Progent's highly evolved service reporting system produces comprehensive reports for all delivered services. Progent staff members have complete access to the details of services delivered by any team member to every client.
