Benefits of Progent's IT Support for Businesses in Albany New York
Progent's remote network troubleshooting services allow your Albany business to experience the advantages of timely, enterprise-level IT support without the expense of maintaining a full-time IT organization. Your network will acquire greater strategic value by becoming more available, productive, and protected. Advantages to your business include:
- Seamless remote expansion of your local support resources
With most companies in Albany New York, local computer service providers, whether made up of freelance consultants or an in-house IT staff, can solve the majority of network issues. On the other hand, major troubles sometimes strike when your regular support personnel are overstretched or unavailable, and some problems may be associated with technology that is unfamiliar to your local service people. In these cases, Progent's online service experts provide a convenient, fast, and affordable way to supplement your local help and to convey valuable information to improve your capability to handle future issues in-house.
- Less Dependence on Freelance Consultants
For IT maintenance, smaller offices commonly rely on independent freelance service providers. While freelance service people carry less internal costs than big support companies and can often charge marginally less, they are sometimes stretched too thin, making it hard to respond rapidly to crisis situations. If an independent consultant is occupied with another client, sick, on vacation, or in training, the absence of backup personnel may force your company to go without help during an emergency. As your business grows, network downtime and trouble with critical applications are more costly. The budget you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be eaten up quickly by lost productivity. Progent provides an on-call source of reserve support expertise to make sure your network stays up and running.
- Build a Scalable Foundation for Seamless Expansion
Companies often start with an IT system implemented on a modest budget. Without a proper infrastructure, band-aid repairs often get thrown onto a shaky foundation. As a network grows, reliability and scalability issues can hinder the success of the business. These poorly built environments require proper assessment, smart long-term planning, and wide technical expertise to upgrade to a system infrastructure able to offer the stable foundation to handle critical business demands and facilitate downstream expansion.
- Work with Problem Solvers Instead of Product Resellers
Smaller businesses require advice and technical training to negotiate an increasingly complicated maze of product options capable of accelerating business growth and improving efficiency. These companies hardly need a network engineer who is motivated to earn a commission on a certain vendor's products. Network support and product sales can lead to a situation where the recommended
solution is built around a predetermined product rather than the true needs of a client. Progent avoids these conflicts by selling just services instead of products. This allows Progent to align IT expertise with the best needs of clients.
What Makes Progent Different from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner consulting firm and Progent's staff size, depth of technical knowledge, fine tuned remote support software, and familiarity with enterprise networking enable businesses to escape the pitfalls of exclusive reliance on smaller service firms, individual freelance service providers, or limited internal resources.
Progent stands out by offering:
- Best Practices
Progent's team of Microsoft and Cisco Premier Certified consultants average longer than a decade of hands-on industry background, at the front lines of IT support, performing a broad range of IT tasks for a large array of customers. Every Progent consultant shares a refined set of personal best practices which are incorporated into company-wide leading practices standards that Progent instills in its support staff. This means that you get not only expert IT capability, but also a consultant with proven approaches for applying computer knowledge to solve actual IT problems efficiently.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to charge for remote support and on-premises help by the minute. Consequently, you owe only for received support. Progent does not demand a higher rate for off-hours or urgent support, and within California or in regions where Progent offers in-person support, Progent does not bill for travel time except for emergency support where on-site work is less than four hours. Also, Progent applies no initialization fee and requires no monthly commitment for services provided during normal working hours. Many support firms demand large minimum fees or charge for every quarter hour or longer. Progent's fine granularity eliminates big invoices for quick repairs so you will not be tempted to allow simple problems to fester.
- Complete Documentation of IT Services
Progent has created a comprehensive service reporting system that stores and formats detailed documentation for all delivered support activities. Unlike many independent consultants or local service organizations who provide scant documentation or details of services performed, each service delivered by Progent is accompanied by comprehensive documentation. Every Progent staff member has use of the support reports transmitted by every consultant to each client. The discipline of documenting and archiving service records results in more efficient support and avoids a variety of common misfortunes such as when a service client is virtually held captive to a consultant who won't release the keys to the kingdom.
- Remote Server Monitoring with Microsoft Operations Manager
Progent is one of the only consulting firms to provide round-the-clock remote monitoring services based on MS System Center Operations Manager. Microsoft Operations Manager causes your computer maintenance to be anticipatory instead of reactive. By revealing potential problems before they cause downtime, system monitoring can save your information network from stressful and expensive service disruptions.
