Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Companies in Allentown Pennsylvania
Progent's remote network troubleshooting services allow your Allentown company to realize the benefits of immediate, enterprise-grade network support without the expense of maintaining an in-house IT organization. Your information system will acquire added business worth by being more reliable, efficient, and protected. Benefits to your company include:
- Convenient virtual extension of your on-site support resources
With most organizations in Allentown Pennsylvania, nearby network service providers, whether represented by freelance consultants or a full-time maintenance staff, can solve the majority of network problems. However, major troubles might occur when local support personnel are overstretched or absent, and some trouble may be associated with technology that is beyond the scope of your onsite support people. In these instances, Progent's online service experts provide an easy, fast, and budget-friendly way to supplement your regular resources and to convey useful knowledge to increase your capability to deal with future issues locally.
- Reduced Reliance on Freelance Consultants
For IT support, smaller organizations often depend on individual freelance service providers. While freelance service people have less internal costs than larger consulting firms and can often charge marginally less, they are sometimes stretched too thin, making it impossible to respond quickly to crisis situations. If a freelance service provider is occupied with another customer, sick, on vacation, or in class, the lack of reserve personnel may force your company to wait for help during an emergency. As your business expands, network unavailability and problems with critical applications become more expensive. The budget you thought you were conserving on an independent can be consumed quickly by lost productivity. Progent provides an on-call source of backup support expertise to insure your network remains available.
- Create a Solid Foundation for Smooth Growth
Organizations typically begin with an information architecture created on a modest budget. Without a scalable infrastructure, band-aid fixes can get piled on top of a shaky foundation. As a network grows, stability and scalability issues can hinder the success of the organization. Such poorly built environments require proper analysis, intelligent long-term planning, and broad-based technical knowledge to evolve to a network architecture able to provide the stable foundation to meet current business demands and ease downstream expansion.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Rather Than Technology Vendors
Smaller organizations need guidance and technical training to negotiate an increasingly complex maze of technology options available for accelerating business growth and improving productivity. These companies do not need a network consultant who is motivated to resell a certain vendor's technology. Network consulting and product selling can lead to a situation where the recommended
solution is built around a profitable product rather than the genuine requirements of a client. Progent avoids these conflicts by offering just services instead of products. This allows Progent to match technical consulting with the best interests of customers.
What Makes Progent Different from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner support company and Progent's number of employees, range of technical knowledge, fine tuned support software, and understanding of enterprise networking enable offices to escape the pitfalls associated with excessive dependence on smaller consulting organizations, individual freelance service providers, or over-stretched internal IT help.

Many service organizations impose large minimum payments or charge for every fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's fine granularity avoids big invoices for fast fixes so you won't be forced to allow minor problems to fester.
- Knowledge Transfer
Progent practices knowledge transfer from Progent's support experts to clients. By teaching clients to handle technical issues that are within their scope, Progent can concentrate on delivering hard-to-find skills where Progent has little competition. Businesses who work with familiar independent consultants or who maintain internal support staffs benefit when Progent transfers information about critical technology and tested methodologies to make their IT environments more reliable, protected, and productive.
- Automated Network Monitoring with Microsoft Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few consulting firms to provide round-the-clock remote monitoring services based on Microsoft Operations Manager.
