Benefits of Progent's Network Help for Businesses in Alexandria Virginia
Progent's online technical help services allow your Alexandria business to experience the benefits of immediate, expert IT support without the expense of managing a full-time IT staff. Your information system will acquire greater strategic worth by being more available, efficient, and secure. Benefits to your business include:
- Seamless remote extension of your on-site support resources
For most businesses in Alexandria Virginia, local network support providers, whether consisting of freelance consultants or an internal maintenance staff, can deal with typical technical issues. On the other hand, IT crises may strike when your regular resources are too busy or unavailable, and some problems may stem from IT products that is beyond the scope of your usual service personnel. In these instances, Progent's on-call service specialists provide a convenient, fast, and budget-friendly way to augment your regular help and to pass on useful information to increase your capability to deal with future issues locally.
- Reduced Reliance on Individual Service Providers
For IT support, smaller companies often depend on independent freelance consultants. While independent consultants carry smaller overhead than larger service companies and can afford to charge marginally less, they are often overextended, making it difficult to respond quickly to crisis situations. If a freelance consultant is occupied with another client, sick, on vacation, or in class, the absence of reserve personnel may force your company to go without help during an emergency. As your network expands, network unavailability and problems with critical applications become more costly. The budget you thought you were saving on an independent can be consumed quickly by reduced productivity. Progent provides a ready source of reserve support experts to insure your IT system remains available.
- Create a Scalable Basis for Smooth Expansion
Organizations typically begin with an information architecture created on a shoestring budget. Without a proper infrastructure, band-aid repairs often get thrown on top of an unstable foundation. When a company grows, reliability and expandability issues can impede the productivity of the organization. Such poorly designed systems require proper assessment, intelligent strategic planning, and wide technical knowledge to evolve to a system architecture that can deliver the solid foundation to meet critical business demands and facilitate downstream expansion.
- Interact with Solution Providers Instead of Product Sellers
Smaller companies need guidance and technical education to navigate through an increasingly complicated maze of product alternatives available for accelerating business success and improving efficiency. Businesses do not need a network engineer who is attempting to resell a certain vendor's technology. IT consulting and product sales can lead to a situation where the recommended
solution is built around a predetermined product rather than the true requirements of a client. Progent avoids these dilemmas by offering only services rather than products. This enables Progent to match IT expertise with the real interests of clients.
What Makes Progent Different from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support company and Progent's number of employees, breadth of technical experience, refined support tools, and familiarity with enterprise networking allow businesses to escape the limitations of exclusive reliance on smaller consulting organizations, individual freelance service providers, or limited in-house resources.
Progent adds value by providing:
- Certified Knowledge of Microsoft's Complete Family of Server Platforms

- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing model is to charge for online support and on-premises visits per minute. Consequently, you pay exclusively for delivered support. Progent does not demand a higher rate for after-hours or urgent service, and within California or in regions where Progent offers on-site support, Progent does not charge for travel except for urgent support where on-site work is less than 4 hours. Also, Progent imposes no service activation charge and requires no retainer for services delivered during normal working hours. Many service organizations demand large minimum payments or charge for every quarter hour or longer. Progent's fine granularity does away with large invoices for quick fixes so you will not be tempted to allow less critical problems to stay unaddressed.
- Full Records of IT Services
Progent has developed a sophisticated support reporting system that stores and organizes complete documentation for all delivered support activities. Unlike many freelance consultants or small support organizations who offer scant documentation or details of tasks done, each service provided by Progent is accompanied by comprehensive documentation. Each Progent staff member has access to the support documentation sent by each staff member to every client. The discipline of documenting and archiving service activity results in more efficient service and eliminates a variety of typical problems such as when a support customer is effectively held hostage 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 only IT service firms to offer round-the-clock system monitoring services powered by Microsoft Operations Manager. Microsoft System Center Operations Manager allows your network support to be anticipatory instead of reactive.
