Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Companies in Atlanta Georgia
Progent's remote support services enable your Atlanta company to experience the advantages of on-call, enterprise-class IT support without the cost of managing a full-time IT staff. Your information system will derive greater strategic worth by becoming more available, productive, and protected. Advantages to your business include:

• Seamless virtual expansion of your on-site IT resources
  For most organizations in Atlanta Georgia, local computer support providers, whether represented by outside consultants or an in-house maintenance staff, can resolve typical technical problems. However, serious problems can strike when local resources are overstretched or absent, and some problems may stem from technology that is unfamiliar to your onsite support technicians. In these cases, Progent's online support experts offer a convenient, fast, and economical way to augment your local resources and to pass on useful knowledge to improve your ability to resolve future issues in-house.

• Less Dependence on Individual Consultants
  For IT maintenance, smaller organizations commonly depend on individual freelance service providers. While freelance service people carry smaller overhead than larger support firms and can afford to charge lower rates, they are often overbooked, making it hard to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If a freelance service provider is busy with another customer, ill, on a trip, or in class, the lack of backup help may force your business to wait for help during an emergency. As your company grows, network downtime and trouble with vital applications become more expensive. The money you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be consumed fast by lost productivity. Progent provides a reliable source of backup service experts to make sure your network is always available.

• Build a Solid Basis for Smooth Growth
  Companies often begin with an information system implemented on a modest budget. Without a scalable infrastructure, band-aid repairs can get piled on top of a shaky foundation. As a company grows, reliability and scalability problems can impede the success of the organization. Such badly built systems require proper analysis, smart strategic planning, and broad-based IT expertise to upgrade to a network infrastructure able to offer the stable foundation to meet current business demands and simplify future growth.

• Work with Solution Providers Instead of Technology Resellers
  Smaller offices require advice and technical education to navigate through an ever more complex array of technology options capable of promoting business success and enhancing productivity. Businesses do not need a network engineer who is attempting to earn a commission on a specific vendor's products. IT consulting and product sales can lead to a scenario where the proposed solution is designed around a predetermined product rather than the true requirements of a client. Progent avoids these dilemmas by selling only services instead of products. This enables Progent to align technical consulting with the real interests of clients.

How Is Progent Different from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner consulting company and Progent's number of employees, range of IT experience, fine tuned support tools, and understanding of enterprise networking allow companies to avoid the limitations associated with excessive reliance on smaller service firms, independent freelance service providers, or limited in-house resources.

Progent adds value by offering:

• Best Practices
  Progent’s team of Microsoft and Cisco Certified consultants average longer than ten years of hands-on professional experience, at the forefront of IT service, executing a wide variety of IT projects for a large array of clients. Every Progent consultant shares a refined set of personal best practices which are combined into shared leading practices standards that Progent instills in its support staff. This ensures that you get not just expert technical skills, but also a consultant with field-tested approaches for applying technical knowledge to fix real-world network problems rapidly.

• Value Pricing
  Progent's pricing model is to charge for phone support and in-person help per minute. As a result, you are billed only for delivered services. Progent does not impose a more expensive rate for off-hours or emergency service, and within California or in regions where Progent offers on-site service, Progent does not bill for travel time except for urgent calls where on-site time is less than 4 hours. In addition, Progent imposes no service activation fee and asks no retainer for support services provided during regular working hours. Many service organizations impose substantial minimum fees or charge for each fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's fine granularity does away with large invoices for quick repairs so you will not be forced to allow simple problems to fester.

• Information Transfer
  Progent is committed to knowledge transfer from Progent's support experts to clients. By teaching clients to handle problems that are within their comfort zone, Progent can focus on delivering hard-to-find skills where Progent faces few competitors. Companies who work with trusted freelance consultants or who employ internal support staffs benefit when Progent transfers information about new technology and tested processes to make their networks more reliable, protected, and productive.

• Remote Network Monitoring with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
  Progent is one of the few consulting companies to offer 24x7 network monitoring services powered by Microsoft System Center Operations Manager. MS Operations Manager allows your network maintenance to be proactive rather than reactive. By uncovering potential issues before they result in downtime, network monitoring can save your IT network from painful and costly availability losses.
