Benefits of Progent's IT Support for Businesses in Anchorage Alaska
Progent's remote technical help services enable your Anchorage business to have the benefits of on-call, enterprise-level network support without the cost of maintaining a full-time IT staff. Your information system will acquire added strategic value by being increasingly reliable, efficient, and protected. Advantages to your business include:
- Seamless remote extension of your on-site IT resources
With most offices in Anchorage Alaska, local computer service resources, whether consisting of outside consultants or a full-time IT staff, can handle typical network issues. However, major troubles may strike when local resources are overstretched or absent, and some trouble may involve IT products that is beyond the scope of your local support people. In these situations, Progent's online service professionals offer an easy, fast, and affordable solution to supplement your regular resources and to pass on valuable knowledge to increase your ability to deal with future issues locally.
- Less Dependence on Individual Service Providers
For network maintenance, smaller offices often rely on individual freelance service providers. While freelance consultants have smaller internal costs than larger consulting organizations and can afford to charge lower rates, they are occasionally overextended, making it difficult to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If a freelance consultant is occupied with another client, ill, on a trip, or in class, the lack of backup personnel may require your business to go without help during an emergency. As your network expands, system unavailability and trouble with critical applications become more expensive. The money you thought you were saving on an independent can be eaten up quickly by lost productivity. Progent provides a ready source of backup support experts to make sure your network stays available.
- Create a Solid Foundation for Seamless Expansion
Businesses often begin with an information architecture created on a shoestring budget. Lacking a proper framework, slap-dash fixes often get piled on top of a weak foundation. As a company grows, stability and scalability issues can impede the success of the organization. Such badly designed environments require proper analysis, smart strategic planning, and wide technical knowledge to evolve to a system infrastructure able to provide the solid foundation to meet vital business requirements and facilitate downstream expansion.
- Work with Solution Providers Instead of Technology Resellers
Smaller companies require guidance and technical training to navigate through an increasingly complicated array of product options available for accelerating business success and improving productivity. Businesses hardly need a computer engineer who is attempting to earn a commission on a specific vendor's technology. IT consulting and product sales can result in a scenario where the recommended
solution is built around a predetermined product rather than the true needs of a client. Progent avoids these conflicts of interest by selling only services rather than products. This enables Progent to match technical expertise with the best needs of clients.
What Makes Progent Unique from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting company and Progent's staff size, depth of IT expertise, refined support software, and understanding of enterprise networking allow offices to avoid the limitations associated with exclusive reliance on smaller service firms, individual freelance consultants, or over-stretched internal IT help.

In addition, Progent imposes no initialization fee and asks no monthly commitment for services provided during normal working hours. Many service firms impose large minimum payments or charge for every fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity avoids big invoices for quick repairs so you won't be forced to permit minor problems to fester.
- Full Documentation of IT Services
Progent has developed a comprehensive service reporting system that records and organizes detailed documentation for all delivered services. Unlike some freelance consultants or small support organizations who provide scant documentation or specifics of services performed, each service delivered by Progent is tracked by full documentation. Every Progent consultant has use of the service reports transmitted by every staff member to each customer. The practice of documenting and archiving support records allows more effective service and eliminates a variety of typical problems such as when a service customer is virtually held hostage to a consultant who won't let go of the keys to the kingdom.
- Automated Network Monitoring with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few support companies to provide 24x7 system tracking services based on Microsoft System Center Operations Manager.
