Benefits of Progent's IT Support for Offices in Augusta-Richmond County Georgia
Progent's remote technical help services allow your Augusta-Richmond County company to experience the benefits of immediate, expert network support without the expense of managing an in-house IT staff. Your network will acquire greater business worth by becoming increasingly reliable, productive, and protected. Benefits to your business include:
- Seamless virtual extension of your on-site support resources
With most organizations in Augusta-Richmond County Georgia, nearby computer support providers, whether made up of freelance consultants or an internal IT staff, can take care of typical technical issues. However, IT crises sometimes strike when local support personnel are too busy or absent, and some trouble may be associated with IT products that is unfamiliar to your usual service personnel. In these instances, Progent's on-call support professionals give you an easy, fast, and affordable solution to augment your local help and to transfer useful knowledge to improve your capability to resolve downstream problems locally.
- Reduced Reliance on Freelance Service Providers
For network maintenance, smaller organizations commonly rely on individual freelance service providers. While independent service people have smaller internal costs than big service firms and can often charge lower rates, they are often overextended, making it difficult to respond rapidly to crisis situations. If a freelance consultant is busy with another customer, ill, on a trip, or in class, the absence of backup help may force your company to go without help during an IT crisis. As your network grows, network downtime and problems with critical software are more expensive. The budget you thought you were conserving on an independent can be eaten up quickly by reduced productivity. Progent provides a reliable source of backup support expertise to make sure your network remains up and running.
- Create a Scalable Foundation for Seamless Expansion
Organizations typically begin with an IT system implemented on a shoestring budget. Lacking a robust infrastructure, slap-dash fixes can get thrown onto a shaky foundation. When a network grows, reliability and expandability issues can impede the productivity of the organization. Such badly built systems need proper analysis, smart strategic planning, and broad-based technical expertise to upgrade to a network infrastructure able to provide the stable foundation to meet current business demands and facilitate downstream growth.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Rather Than Technology Sellers
Smaller offices need guidance and technical training to negotiate an increasingly complex array of product alternatives capable of accelerating business success and enhancing productivity. They hardly need a network consultant who is attempting to earn a commission on a specific vendor's technology. Network support and product sales can lead to a scenario where the recommended
solution is built around a profitable technology rather than the genuine requirements of a business. Progent avoids these conflicts by offering only services instead of products. This enables Progent to match technical consulting with the best needs of clients.
How Is Progent Different from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support company and Progent's head count, breadth of technical background, refined remote support software, and understanding of enterprise networking enable businesses to avoid the pitfalls associated with excessive reliance on smaller service firms, individual freelance service providers, or over-stretched internal IT help.

Also, Progent imposes no initialization fee and asks no retainer for services delivered during normal working hours.

- Knowledge Transfer
Progent is committed to knowledge transfer from Progent's consultants to clients. By teaching customers to resolve technical issues that are within their comfort zone, Progent is able to concentrate on delivering high-value skills where Progent has little competition.
