Benefits of Progent's Network Help for Businesses in Akron Ohio
Progent's online technical help services allow your Akron organization to realize the benefits of on-call, expert network support without the expense of maintaining a full-time IT staff. Your information system will acquire greater business value by being more available, productive, and protected. Benefits to your company include:
- Seamless virtual extension of your local support resources
For most offices in Akron Ohio, nearby network support providers, whether consisting of freelance consultants or a full-time IT staff, can handle typical network issues. However, major troubles might occur when your regular support personnel are too busy or unavailable, and some trouble may stem from IT products that is beyond the scope of your usual service personnel. In these cases, Progent's online service experts offer an easy, quick, and economical way to augment your local help and to pass on valuable knowledge to increase your ability to resolve downstream problems locally.
- Less Reliance on Freelance Service Providers
For network maintenance, smaller companies commonly rely on independent freelance service providers. While freelance service people have less overhead than larger service companies and can often charge marginally less, they are sometimes overbooked, making it difficult to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If an independent service provider is occupied with another customer, sick, on a trip, or in class, the absence of fallback help may require your company to go without assistance during an emergency. As your company grows, system downtime and trouble with vital applications are more costly. The money you thought you were saving on an independent can be eaten up quickly by lost productivity. Progent offers a reliable source of backup service expertise to insure your IT system stays up and running.
- Create a Scalable Basis for Smooth Growth
Businesses often start with an IT architecture created on a shoestring budget. Without a strong framework, slap-dash fixes often get piled onto an unstable foundation. When a company grows, stability and expandability problems can hinder the productivity of the organization. These poorly designed environments require careful assessment, intelligent strategic planning, and extensive IT expertise to evolve to a system architecture that can deliver the stable foundation to meet current business requirements and facilitate future expansion.
- Work with Problem Solvers Rather Than Product Resellers
Smaller offices need advice and technical training to negotiate an increasingly complicated array of technology alternatives available for accelerating business growth and enhancing productivity. These companies hardly need a computer consultant who is motivated to resell a specific vendor's products. Network consulting and product sales can lead to a situation where the proposed
solution is built around a profitable product rather than the true needs of a business. Progent avoids these conflicts by offering only services rather than products. This enables Progent to align technical expertise with the real needs of customers.
How Is Progent Unique from Other Support Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner consulting company and Progent's staff size, range of IT experience, fine tuned support tools, and understanding of corporate IT allow offices to avoid the pitfalls of exclusive dependence on smaller consulting organizations, independent freelance consultants, or limited internal IT help.
Progent adds value by offering:
- Certified Expertise in Microsoft's Full Line of Servers
Progent offers in-depth support for Microsoft's popular server platforms with services such as Microsoft Windows Server 2022 solution design and migration expertise, Windows Server 2019 migration services, Windows Server 2016 hybrid cloud solutions, Windows 2012 R2 Server migration and deployment support services, Windows Server 2008 support, Microsoft Windows 2003 Server maintenance, MS Exchange 2019 Server deployment, MS Exchange 2016 planning and deployment, Exchange Server 2013 consulting, Exchange Server 2010 management, Exchange Server 2007 and Microsoft Exchange 2003 Server upgrades, plus Microsoft SQL Server 2019 configuration consulting, Microsoft SQL Server 2017 planing and migration, Microsoft SQL Server 2016 integration and development, SQL Server 2014 consulting support, and SQL Server 2012 management support.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to bill for remote support and in-person help per minute. Consequently, you pay just for delivered services. Progent does not demand a more expensive rate for off-hours or urgent support, and inside California or in regions where Progent provides in-person support, Progent does not charge for travel except for emergency calls where on-site time is less than four hours. In addition, Progent imposes no service activation charge and asks no retainer for support services provided during regular business hours. Many support organizations demand substantial minimum fees or charge for every quarter hour or longer. Progent's fine granularity avoids big invoices for fast solutions so you won't be tempted to permit less critical problems to fester.
- Full Records of IT Services
Progent has created a sophisticated support reporting system that stores and organizes complete documentation for all billed support activities. Unlike some freelance consultants or small service organizations who provide scant documentation or specifics of services done, every service provided by Progent is tracked by full documentation. Every Progent staff member has use of the service reports transmitted by each staff member to each client. The practice of documenting and organizing support activity allows more efficient service and avoids a slew of typical misfortunes such as when a support customer is effectively held captive to a consultant who refuses to let go of the keys to the kingdom.
- Remote Network Monitoring with MS System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few IT service companies to provide 24x7 network tracking services powered by Microsoft System Center Operations Manager. Microsoft System Center Operations Manager allows your computer maintenance to be anticipatory instead of reactive. By uncovering potential issues before they result in downtime, system monitoring can save your IT network from painful and costly availability losses.
