Benefits of Progent's IT Support for Businesses in Appleton Wisconsin
Progent's online support services enable your Appleton business to enjoy the advantages of timely, world-class network support without the cost of managing a full-time IT organization. Your information system will derive greater business worth by becoming increasingly available, efficient, and secure. Advantages to your company include:
- Seamless remote expansion of your on-site IT resources
With most businesses in Appleton Wisconsin, nearby network support resources, whether consisting of freelance consultants or an in-house IT staff, can deal with typical technical problems. On the other hand, serious problems may spring up when local resources are overstretched or absent, and some trouble may be associated with IT products that is beyond the scope of your onsite service personnel. In these instances, Progent's online service experts offer an easy, fast, and budget-friendly way to augment your regular help and to transfer valuable information to improve your ability to resolve downstream issues locally.
- Reduced Reliance on Freelance Consultants
For network support, smaller offices commonly depend on individual freelance consultants. Although freelance consultants carry less overhead than big consulting companies and can often charge marginally less, they are occasionally overbooked, making it hard to respond quickly to urgent situations. If a freelance consultant is busy with another customer, sick, on a trip, or in training, the lack of reserve personnel may force your business to wait for assistance during an IT crisis. As your network grows, system unavailability and problems with vital applications become more costly. The money you thought you were saving on an independent can be consumed fast by lost productivity. Progent provides a reliable source of reserve service experts to insure your IT system remains available.
- Build a Scalable Foundation for Seamless Growth
Businesses often begin with an IT system implemented on a shoestring budget. Lacking a robust framework, band-aid fixes often get thrown onto an unstable foundation. As a network grows, stability and scalability problems can impede the success of the business. These badly designed systems require careful analysis, intelligent long-term planning, and wide IT knowledge to evolve to a system architecture able to offer the stable foundation to handle vital business demands and ease downstream growth.
- Work with Solution Providers Instead of Technology Sellers
Smaller businesses require advice and technical training to navigate through an ever more complex array of product options available for accelerating business growth and enhancing efficiency. These companies hardly need a computer consultant who is trying to sell a certain vendor's technology. Network consulting and product sales can lead to a scenario where the recommended
solution is built around a predetermined product instead of the true requirements of a business. Progent avoids these dilemmas by selling just services rather than products. This allows Progent to match technical consulting with the real interests of clients.
What Makes Progent Different from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner consulting company and Progent's staff size, depth of technical experience, refined support tools, and understanding of enterprise networking enable businesses to escape the limitations of exclusive reliance on smaller service firms, independent freelance consultants, or over-stretched in-house resources.
Progent stands out by offering:
- Best Practices
Progent's staff of Microsoft and Cisco Premier Certified experts average more than a decade of real-world professional background, in the trenches of network support, executing a broad range of technical projects for an extensive array of businesses. Every Progent support professional shares a proven set of personal best practices which are combined into shared leading practices standards that Progent instills in its support staff. This means that you get not only expert technical capability, but also a consultant with field-tested methods for using technical knowledge to fix actual network problems rapidly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to bill for online support and on-premises visits by the minute. Consequently, you are invoiced just for received services. Progent does not impose a more expensive rate for after-hours or emergency service, and inside California or in areas where Progent provides in-person support, Progent does not charge for travel time except for urgent calls where on-site work is less than 4 hours. In addition, Progent applies no initialization charge and asks no monthly commitment for support services provided during normal working hours. Many support firms demand large minimum payments or charge for each quarter hour or longer. Progent's fine granularity does away with big invoices for fast fixes so you won't be forced to allow simple problems to fester.
- Knowledge Transfer
Progent practices knowledge transfer from Progent's support experts to clients. By teaching customers to deal with technical issues that are within their comfort zone, Progent can concentrate on offering hard-to-find skills where Progent has few competitors. Businesses who utilize familiar independent consultants or who maintain internal IT staffs benefit when Progent passes on information about new technology and proven processes to make their IT environments more robust, secure, and efficient.
- 24x7 Network Monitoring with MS Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few IT service firms to offer 24x7 system tracking services powered by MS System Center Operations Manager.
