Benefits of Progent's Network Help for Businesses in Austin Texas
Progent's online support services allow your Austin company to realize the advantages of on-call, enterprise-class IT support without the expense of managing an in-house IT organization. Your network will derive added business value by becoming increasingly reliable, productive, and secure. Benefits to your business include:
- Seamless virtual expansion of your local IT resources
With most companies in Austin Texas, nearby computer service resources, whether made up of outside consultants or an in-house maintenance staff, can solve typical network problems. However, major troubles can spring up when your regular resources are too busy or absent, and some problems may involve IT products that is beyond the scope of your local service personnel. In these instances, Progent's on-call support professionals offer an easy, fast, and economical way to augment your local help and to convey useful information to increase your capability to deal with future problems locally.
- Reduced Dependence on Freelance Consultants
For IT maintenance, smaller businesses commonly depend on independent freelance consultants. While freelance consultants carry smaller overhead than larger service firms and can often charge lower rates, they are often overbooked, making it difficult to respond quickly to crisis situations. If an independent service provider is busy with another client, sick, on a trip, or in class, the lack of fallback personnel may force your business to go without help during an IT crisis. As your network expands, system downtime and trouble with vital software become more expensive. The money you thought you were saving on a freelancer can be consumed quickly by lost productivity. Progent offers an on-call source of reserve support experts to make sure your IT system remains up and running.
- Build a Solid Basis for Seamless Expansion
Organizations often begin with an information system implemented on a modest budget. Lacking a strong framework, slap-dash fixes often get thrown onto an unstable foundation. As a company grows, reliability and expandability problems can hinder the success of the business. These poorly built environments need proper assessment, intelligent long-term planning, and wide technical knowledge to upgrade to a system architecture that can offer the solid foundation to handle current business requirements and facilitate future expansion.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Instead of Technology Resellers
Smaller offices need advice and technical training to negotiate an increasingly complex array of technology options available for promoting business growth and improving productivity. They do not need a network engineer who is trying to resell a certain vendor's technology. IT consulting and product sales can lead to a scenario where the recommended
solution is built around a predetermined product rather than the genuine requirements of a business. Progent avoids these dilemmas by selling only services instead of products. This enables Progent to match IT consulting with the best interests of customers.

Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting company and Progent's head count, breadth of IT knowledge, refined remote support tools, and familiarity with corporate IT allow offices to avoid the limitations associated with excessive reliance on smaller service firms, individual freelance consultants, or over-stretched in-house IT help.
