Why Progent Offers the Smart Choice for Alexandria, Virginia Businesses
Progent's size, scope of technical skill, and experience with enterprise network consulting allow small businesses to avoid the problems related to excessive reliance on thinly staffed support firms or individual engineers.
Teaming with Progent's Experts enables your business to:
- Prevent Excessive Reliance on Freelance Consultants
For IT support, smaller companies sometimes depend heavily on independent consultants. Though freelance service engineers have lower overhead than larger IT service firms and can typically charge nominally smaller fees, freelancers are frequently stretched to far to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If a freelance consultant is occupied with different customer, sick, on travelling, or in training, the absence of backup staff may force your company to wait for help in case of a crisis. The more your small business grows, network downtime or problems with line-of-business programs get more costly. The money you believed you were conserving on an independent consultant can be eaten up fast because of lower output. In addition, when freelance consultants encounter new problems, the lack of a big consulting team to depend on for help requires them to train in place while your company winds up footing the costs for their ongoing education.
- Gain Access to Certified Professionals in Advanced Network Issues
Many small service organizations or freelance engineers specializing in small business IT consulting are capable of delivering connect-the-dots fixes but don't have the seasoning to deal efficiently with complex IT configurations with a variety of operating systems, multiple locations, Voice over IP implementations, remote clients, interconnected accounting and analytical software, data-driven web sites, and specialized business software. Progent's experience with worldwide companies and Progent's extensive staff of experts can benefit your small business because enterprise environments are characteristically complicated, support issues require thorough understanding of in many technical areas, and reaching an acceptable level of stability, availability, and security requires enterprise-proven best practices.
- Build a Solid Basis for Growth
Small companies often start with a network implemented on a tight budget. Without a solid basis, a sequence of ad hoc repairs often get piled on top of a marginal structure. As a business grows, stability and expandability problems can undermine the success of the business. These environments need proper evaluation, intelligent business planning, and broad-based experience to migrate to an IT environment that can provide the solid foundation to meet current business needs and ease future expansion.
- Work with Solution Providers, Not Product Vendors
Smaller companies need direction and insight to navigate through an increasingly complicated maze of IT options offered for enabling growth and improving productivity. Businesses do not need a network consultant or support firm that tries to sell them a product. Progent avoids conflicted motives by not reselling hardware and software. Progent provides services and expertise only. This allows Progent to match technical support with the genuine needs of clients. Mixing network support and product selling can lead to a situation where the recommended solution is built around a preselected vendor rather than being driven by the actual requirements of a small business.
