Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Businesses in Augusta-Richmond County Georgia
Progent's online support services allow your Augusta-Richmond County business to experience the advantages of on-call, enterprise-grade network support without the cost of maintaining a full-time IT staff. Your information system will derive added business value by becoming increasingly available, productive, and protected. Benefits to your company include:
- Convenient virtual expansion of your local IT resources
With most companies in Augusta-Richmond County Georgia, local network service providers, whether consisting of outside consultants or an in-house IT staff, can take care of typical network issues. On the other hand, serious problems can occur when your regular resources are too busy or unavailable, and some problems may involve IT products that is unfamiliar to your local support technicians. In these situations, Progent's online support specialists give you a convenient, fast, and economical way to augment your regular resources and to convey useful knowledge to increase your ability to handle downstream problems locally.
- Reduced Reliance on Freelance Service Providers
For network support, smaller companies often rely on individual freelance service providers. Although independent service people carry less internal costs than big support organizations and can afford to charge lower rates, they are occasionally overextended, making it difficult to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If an independent consultant is occupied with another client, sick, on vacation, or in training, the absence of reserve help may force your company to wait for help during an IT crisis. As your business expands, network downtime and trouble with vital applications become more costly. The budget you thought you were saving on an independent can be consumed fast by lost productivity. Progent offers a reliable source of backup service experts to make sure your IT system is always up and running.
- Create a Scalable Foundation for Smooth Expansion
Companies often begin with an IT system created on a modest budget. Lacking a proper infrastructure, band-aid repairs often get thrown onto a shaky foundation. When a company grows, reliability and scalability issues can hinder the productivity of the business. These badly built environments need careful analysis, smart long-term planning, and extensive technical knowledge to evolve to a system infrastructure able to deliver the solid foundation to handle critical business requirements and ease downstream growth.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Rather Than Technology Vendors
Smaller organizations require advice and technical education to negotiate an increasingly complicated maze of technology options capable of accelerating business growth and enhancing productivity. These companies do not need a computer engineer who is motivated to sell a certain vendor's technology. Network support and product selling can lead to a scenario where the recommended
solution is built around a predetermined technology rather than the true needs of a business. Progent eliminates these conflicts of interest by offering only services instead of products. This enables Progent to match technical expertise with the real interests of customers.
How Is Progent Different from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting company and Progent's head count, depth of IT background, fine tuned support tools, and familiarity with corporate IT enable businesses to avoid the pitfalls associated with exclusive reliance on smaller consulting organizations, independent freelance service providers, or limited in-house resources.
