Why Progent Is the Right Alternative for Arlington, Virginia Businesses
Progent's staff size, breadth of technical skill, and familiarity with corporate network support allow small and midsize businesses to sidestep the problems related to excessive dependence on small service firms or independent consultants.

Working with Progent enables your small business to:

• Prevent Over Dependence on Freelance Support Consultants
  For IT services, smaller companies sometimes depend heavily on independent consultants. Though freelance support engineers carry lower expenses than more substantial support firms and can afford to charge nominally lower rates, freelancers are often stretched to far to react rapidly to urgent problems. If a freelance consultant is busy with different customer, sick, on vacation, or in training, the absence of backup personnel may require your business to wait for help during an emergency. As your company expands, system downtime or problems with critical applications get more costly. The dollars you believed you were conserving on a freelancer can be eaten up quickly due to lost output. In addition, when independent engineers encounter unfamiliar technologies, the unavailability of a large engineering team to count on for advice requires them to train on the job while your business ends up with the bill for their continuing education.

• Have Access to Expertise in Advanced Network Solutions
  The majority of small service organizations or independent consultants specializing in small company network consulting may excel at delivering connect-the-dots solutions but lack the experience to work cost-effectively with complex network configurations with mixed platforms, multiple offices, VoIP implementations, mobile clients, integrated financial and operational applications, data-driven web sites, and custom line-of-business applications. Progent's experience with worldwide enterprises and Progent's extensive group of experts can be valuable to your business because big-company environments are inherently complicated, integration issues demand in-depth knowledge in many technical disciplines, and reaching a high level of robustness, availability, and security calls for industry-tested processes.

• Create a Firm Foundation for Seamless Growth
  Small businesses typically start with an IT system cobbled together on a shoestring budget. Without a strong basis, a sequence of ad hoc fixes often get piled onto of a tenuous foundation. As a company grows, stability and scalability problems can hinder the productivity of the business. These environments need thorough evaluation, intelligent strategic analysis, and broad-based experience to migrate to an IT infrastructure that will act as the solid basis to handle current business needs and ease downstream growth.

• Work with Solution Consultants, Not Product Vendors
  Small businesses need guidance and education to work through an ever more complex maze of technology alternatives offered for accelerating business growth and improving productivity. They do not need an IT engineer or support organization that tries to promote products. Progent eliminates conflicts of interest by not selling hardware and software. Progent provides services and expertise only. This allows Progent to match technical support services with the genuine interests of clients. Mixing network support and product selling can result in a situation where the recommended solution is based on a predetermined vendor rather than being based on the actual requirements of a small business.
