Benefits of Progent's Network Help for Offices in Akron Ohio
Progent's remote IT consulting services allow your Akron business to enjoy the advantages of timely, expert IT support without the expense of maintaining an in-house IT organization. Your information system will derive added strategic value by being increasingly reliable, efficient, and secure. Advantages to your company include:
- Convenient virtual extension of your local IT resources
For most offices in Akron Ohio, nearby computer service providers, whether represented by freelance consultants or an in-house IT staff, can solve the majority of technical issues. However, IT crises might occur when local support personnel are too busy or absent, and some trouble may stem from IT products that is beyond the scope of your local service people. In these cases, Progent's on-call service experts offer an easy, fast, and affordable way to supplement your regular help and to pass on useful information to improve your ability to resolve future problems locally.
- Reduced Dependence on Individual Service Providers
For network maintenance, smaller organizations commonly depend on independent freelance service providers. Although independent consultants carry less overhead than big service organizations and can often charge lower rates, they are occasionally stretched too thin, making it difficult to respond quickly to urgent situations. If an independent consultant is occupied with another client, sick, on vacation, or in class, the absence of backup personnel may force your company to go without help during an IT crisis. As your company expands, system unavailability and problems with vital software are more costly. The money you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be consumed quickly by reduced productivity. Progent provides a dependable source of reserve support expertise to make sure your IT system stays up and running.
- Create a Solid Basis for Smooth Growth
Companies typically start with an information architecture created on a modest budget. Without a proper infrastructure, band-aid fixes can get thrown on top of an unstable foundation. As a network grows, stability and scalability issues can hinder the success of the business. Such poorly designed systems require proper assessment, intelligent long-term planning, and extensive IT knowledge to evolve to a network architecture able to offer the stable foundation to meet vital business demands and ease downstream growth.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Rather Than Product Sellers
Smaller offices need guidance and technical training to negotiate an increasingly complex array of product options capable of accelerating business growth and enhancing productivity. Businesses hardly need a network consultant who is motivated to resell a specific vendor's products. IT consulting and product sales can result in a scenario where the recommended
solution is built around a predetermined product instead of the true requirements of a business. Progent eliminates these conflicts by selling only services instead of products. This enables Progent to match IT expertise with the real interests of customers.
What Makes Progent Unique from Other Support Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner consulting company and Progent's number of employees, depth of IT experience, refined support tools, and familiarity with enterprise networking allow companies to avoid the pitfalls of excessive dependence on smaller service firms, independent freelance consultants, or over-stretched internal resources.
