Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Offices in Atlanta Georgia
Progent's online support services allow your Atlanta organization to enjoy the benefits of immediate, world-class network support without the cost of maintaining a full-time IT staff. Your network will acquire greater business worth by becoming more reliable, efficient, and protected. Benefits to your company include:
- Seamless remote extension of your local support resources
For most offices in Atlanta Georgia, local network support providers, whether consisting of independent consultants or an in-house maintenance staff, can solve typical technical problems. However, IT crises may strike when your regular resources are too busy or unavailable, and some problems may involve IT products that is beyond the scope of your local support personnel. In these cases, Progent's online service professionals provide an easy, fast, and economical way to augment your local resources and to convey valuable information to increase your capability to handle downstream issues locally.
- Less Dependence on Freelance Consultants
For network maintenance, smaller organizations commonly rely on individual freelance consultants. Although freelance service people have less internal costs than larger service firms and can often charge lower rates, they are occasionally overextended, making it difficult to respond rapidly to crisis situations. If an independent service provider is busy with another client, sick, on vacation, or in class, the lack of reserve personnel may force your business to go without help during an IT crisis. As your network expands, network unavailability and problems with vital software are more expensive. The money you thought you were conserving on an independent can be eaten up quickly by reduced productivity. Progent offers a dependable source of backup service expertise to make sure your network is always up and running.
- Build a Scalable Foundation for Smooth Growth
Organizations typically begin with an information system created on a shoestring budget. Without a proper infrastructure, band-aid fixes can get thrown on top of a weak foundation. As a network grows, reliability and scalability problems can impede the success of the business. Such poorly designed environments require careful analysis, intelligent strategic planning, and broad-based technical expertise to upgrade to a network infrastructure that can offer the solid foundation to handle current business demands and facilitate future expansion.
- Work with Problem Solvers Instead of Product Resellers
Smaller organizations require guidance and technical training to negotiate an ever more complex array of technology options capable of accelerating business success and improving productivity. These companies hardly need a computer consultant who is trying to resell a specific vendor's technology. Network consulting and product selling can lead to a situation where the proposed
solution is built around a predetermined technology rather than the genuine requirements of a client. Progent eliminates these conflicts by selling only services instead of products. This enables Progent to align IT expertise with the real interests of clients.
What Makes Progent Different from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting company and Progent's number of employees, breadth of technical experience, fine tuned support tools, and understanding of enterprise networking enable companies to escape the pitfalls of exclusive reliance on smaller consulting firms, individual freelance service providers, or limited in-house resources.
