Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Companies in Appleton Wisconsin
Progent's remote network troubleshooting services enable your Appleton business to experience the benefits of timely, enterprise-level network support without the expense of maintaining a full-time IT organization. Your network will acquire added strategic value by being more reliable, productive, and protected. Benefits to your company include:
- Seamless remote expansion of your on-site IT resources
With most organizations in Appleton Wisconsin, nearby computer support resources, whether made up of freelance consultants or an in-house maintenance staff, can handle typical technical problems. However, serious problems might strike when your regular support personnel are overstretched or unavailable, and some trouble may involve IT products that is beyond the scope of your usual support people. In these instances, Progent's online service professionals offer a convenient, quick, and affordable way to supplement your regular resources and to pass on useful information to increase your ability to resolve future problems in-house.
- Less Reliance on Individual Service Providers
For network support, smaller offices commonly depend on independent freelance service providers. Although independent service people carry smaller internal costs than big consulting companies and can often charge marginally less, they are sometimes stretched too thin, making it impossible to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If a freelance consultant is occupied with another customer, ill, on a trip, or in class, the lack of fallback personnel may force your business to go without help during an emergency. As your company grows, system unavailability and problems with vital applications become more costly. The budget you thought you were saving on an independent can be eaten up fast by lost productivity. Progent provides an on-call source of backup support expertise to insure your IT system stays up and running.
- Create a Solid Foundation for Seamless Expansion
Companies often begin with an information architecture implemented on a modest budget. Without a scalable infrastructure, slap-dash fixes often get thrown onto an unstable foundation. When a company grows, stability and expandability issues can impede the productivity of the business. Such badly built systems need careful assessment, smart strategic planning, and broad-based IT knowledge to evolve to a system architecture able to deliver the stable foundation to handle critical business requirements and simplify downstream expansion.
- Work with Problem Solvers Instead of Product Vendors
Smaller companies need guidance and technical education to negotiate an increasingly complex maze of product options capable of promoting business success and enhancing efficiency. They do not need a computer engineer who is motivated to sell a certain vendor's technology. IT support and product selling can result in a scenario where the recommended
solution is built around a predetermined product rather than the genuine requirements of a business. Progent eliminates these dilemmas by selling just services instead of products. This enables Progent to align technical consulting with the best interests of customers.
What Makes Progent Different from Other Support Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support company and Progent's staff size, range of IT experience, refined remote support software, and familiarity with corporate IT enable companies to escape the pitfalls associated with excessive dependence on smaller service organizations, individual freelance consultants, or limited internal IT help.
Progent stands out by providing:
- Best Practices
Progent's team of Microsoft and Cisco Certified experts average more than ten years of hands-on industry experience, at the front lines of IT service, performing a broad variety of technical tasks for a large mix of customers. Every Progent consultant shares a proven set of personal best practices which are incorporated into company-wide best practices standards that Progent instills in its consulting personnel. This ensures that you get not only expert IT help, but also a support engineer with field-tested approaches for using computer knowledge to solve actual IT problems quickly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to charge for remote support and on-premises visits per minute. As a result, you owe exclusively for delivered services. Progent does not demand a higher rate for after-hours or emergency support, and inside California or in areas where Progent offers on-premises support, Progent does not charge for travel except for urgent calls where on-site work is less than four hours. In addition, Progent imposes no minimum charge and asks no monthly commitment for services delivered during normal business hours. Many service organizations impose substantial minimum fees or charge for each fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity eliminates big invoices for fast fixes so you will not be forced to permit simple problems to fester.
- Knowledge Transfer
Progent practices knowledge transfer from Progent's consultants to customers. By educating clients to resolve problems that are within their scope, Progent is able to concentrate on offering hard-to-find services where Progent has few competitors. Companies who utilize trusted independent consultants or who maintain in-house IT personnel benefit when Progent passes on knowledge about new technology and proven processes to make their networks more robust, protected, and productive.
- Automated Server Monitoring with MS System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few consulting firms to offer round-the-clock network tracking services powered by MS System Center Operations Manager.
