Why Progent Offers the Right Alternative for Athens, Georgia Small Businesses
Progent's staff size, breadth and depth of technical skill, and experience with corporate network consulting enable small businesses to sidestep the problems related to excessive reliance on small service firms or freelance engineers.
Working with Progent's Experts enables your company to:
- Prevent Over Reliance on Individual Support Consultants
For IT services, small companies often depend excessively on freelance engineers. Although freelance support engineers have lower expenses than larger support organizations and can typically charge apparently smaller fees, freelancers are often too overworked to respond quickly to critical problems. If a freelance consultant is occupied with different client, ill, on travelling, or in training, the absence of replacement staff may force your company to go without help in case of a crisis. The more your small business grows, system downtime or difficulties with critical programs get more expensive. The dollars you believed you were saving on an independent consultant can evaporate quickly due to lower productivity. Also, when freelance consultants confront unfamiliar problems, the lack of a big engineering team to rely on for advice requires them to train on the job while your company ends up with the costs for their ongoing education.
- Gain Access to Experts in Advanced Information Technology Issues
The majority of smaller service firms or independent consultants focused on small business IT support are capable of providing routine solutions but don't have the background to work cost-effectively with complicated IT infrastructures that have mixed operating systems, many offices, Voice over IP systems, mobile workforces, integrated financial and analytical software, data-driven web sites, and custom business software. Progent's experience with worldwide companies and Progent's large staff of experts can benefit your business because enterprise networks are characteristically complex, integration issues demand in-depth understanding of in numerous technical disciplines, and reaching an acceptable level of stability, availability, and security calls for enterprise-proven leading practices.
- Build a Firm Basis for Seamless Growth
Small companies often begin with a network cobbled together on a shoestring budget. Without a carefully designed architecture, a series of band-aid repairs commonly get tossed onto of a tenuous structure. As a company evolves, reliability and scalability problems can undermine the productivity of the business. These environments require thorough evaluation, intelligent strategic analysis, and in-depth experience to migrate to a network environment that can provide the solid foundation to meet current business needs and support downstream expansion.
- Partner with Solution Finders, Not Product Resellers
Smaller companies need guidance and insight to work through an increasingly complex array of technology options offered for accelerating growth and enhancing productivity. Businesses do not need a network engineer or support organization that tries to promote a product. Progent avoids conflicted motives by not reselling hardware and software. Progent sells services and expertise exclusively. This allows Progent to align consulting support services with the real interests of clients. Combining network support and product reselling can lead to a conflict where the proposed solution is built around a preselected vendor instead of being based on the actual needs of a customer.
