Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Offices in Anchorage Alaska
Progent's online network troubleshooting services enable your Anchorage business to enjoy the benefits of on-call, enterprise-level IT support without the cost of managing an in-house IT organization. Your network will derive added business value by becoming more reliable, productive, and secure. Benefits to your company include:
- Convenient remote extension of your local support resources
For most companies in Anchorage Alaska, local network service providers, whether made up of freelance consultants or a full-time IT staff, can handle the majority of network issues. On the other hand, IT crises can strike when local support personnel are too busy or unavailable, and some trouble may be associated with technology that is unfamiliar to your usual service technicians. In these instances, Progent's online support specialists give you an easy, quick, and budget-friendly solution to augment your regular help and to transfer valuable knowledge to increase your ability to resolve future problems in-house.
- Less Reliance on Individual Consultants
For IT support, smaller businesses often rely on individual freelance consultants. Although independent consultants have less internal costs than larger consulting firms and can afford to charge marginally less, they are often overextended, making it impossible to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If an independent service provider is occupied with another client, ill, on vacation, or in class, the lack of backup personnel may force your company to go without help during an emergency. As your business grows, system unavailability and problems with vital applications become more expensive. The money you thought you were saving on a freelancer can be consumed fast by lost productivity. Progent provides a dependable source of reserve support expertise to insure your network remains up and running.
- Create a Solid Foundation for Smooth Expansion
Organizations often start with an information system created on a modest budget. Without a scalable infrastructure, slap-dash repairs often get piled onto a shaky foundation. As a company grows, reliability and scalability issues can impede the productivity of the business. Such poorly designed environments require proper analysis, smart long-term planning, and broad-based IT expertise to evolve to a network infrastructure that can offer the solid foundation to meet vital business demands and simplify future growth.
- Work with Problem Solvers Rather Than Technology Resellers
Smaller offices need advice and technical training to navigate through an increasingly complicated array of technology alternatives capable of promoting business success and improving productivity. Businesses hardly need a network consultant who is attempting to earn a commission on a certain vendor's technology. Network support and product selling can result in a scenario where the recommended
solution is built around a predetermined technology instead of the genuine requirements of a business. Progent avoids these dilemmas by selling just services instead of products. This allows Progent to align technical expertise with the best needs of clients.
How Is Progent Unique from Other Support Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting company and Progent's number of employees, range of IT background, refined support tools, and familiarity with corporate IT allow businesses to escape the limitations of exclusive reliance on smaller consulting firms, independent freelance service providers, or limited internal resources.
