Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Businesses in Bakersfield California
Progent's remote technical help services allow your Bakersfield company to realize the advantages of on-call, expert network support without the cost of maintaining an in-house IT staff. Your information system will derive greater strategic value by becoming increasingly reliable, efficient, and secure. Advantages to your business include:
- Convenient virtual extension of your local support resources
For most organizations in Bakersfield California, local computer support resources, whether consisting of independent consultants or an in-house IT staff, can take care of the majority of network issues. However, IT crises may occur when local support personnel are too busy or absent, and some problems may involve technology that is unfamiliar to your local service personnel. In these situations, Progent's on-call service experts give you a convenient, fast, and affordable solution to supplement your regular resources and to pass on valuable knowledge to improve your ability to deal with downstream problems in-house.
- Less Reliance on Individual Consultants
For network maintenance, smaller companies often depend on independent freelance consultants. Although independent consultants carry less overhead than big support companies and can often charge lower rates, they are occasionally overextended, making it impossible to respond quickly to crisis situations. If an independent service provider is occupied with another customer, sick, on vacation, or in class, the absence of backup help may require your business to go without assistance during an emergency. As your network expands, system unavailability and trouble with critical applications become more expensive. The money you thought you were saving on an independent can be consumed quickly by lost productivity. Progent offers a ready source of backup service expertise to make sure your network is always available.
- Build a Scalable Basis for Smooth Expansion
Organizations typically start with an information system created on a modest budget. Without a scalable framework, band-aid fixes often get thrown on top of a shaky foundation. As a network grows, reliability and expandability issues can hinder the success of the business. Such badly built environments require careful analysis, smart long-term planning, and extensive IT knowledge to upgrade to a system architecture able to offer the solid foundation to handle current business requirements and simplify downstream growth.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Instead of Technology Resellers
Smaller organizations need advice and technical training to navigate through an increasingly complicated array of product alternatives available for accelerating business success and improving efficiency. Businesses hardly need a network engineer who is trying to sell a specific vendor's products. IT support and product sales can result in a scenario where the recommended
solution is designed around a profitable technology instead of the true needs of a business. Progent eliminates these conflicts by offering just services rather than products. This allows Progent to align technical expertise with the real needs of customers.
What Makes Progent Different from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting firm and Progent's head count, depth of technical experience, refined remote support software, and familiarity with enterprise networking enable businesses to avoid the limitations associated with excessive reliance on smaller consulting organizations, individual freelance service providers, or limited in-house resources.
Progent stands out by providing:
- Certified Expertise in Microsoft's Complete Family of Server Platforms
Progent offers world-class support for Microsoft's leading server platforms with services that include Windows Server 2022 planning and integration expertise, Windows Server 2019 migration consulting, Windows Server 2016 hybrid cloud integration, Windows Server 2012 R2 planning and deployment help, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 migration, Windows 2003 Server maintenance, Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 integration, Microsoft Exchange 2016 Server planning and deployment, Exchange Server 2013 configuration, Microsoft Exchange 2010 Server maintenance, Microsoft Exchange 2007 Server and Microsoft Exchange 2003 Server upgrades, plus Microsoft SQL Server 2019 hybrid integration consulting, Microsoft SQL Server 2017 planing and migration, Microsoft SQL Server 2016 integration and development, Microsoft SQL Server 2014 support, and SQL 2012 maintenance.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing model is to bill for phone service and on-site help by the minute. Consequently, you owe only for received support. Progent does not impose a higher rate for after-hours or urgent service, and within California or in areas where Progent offers on-site support, Progent does not bill for travel except for urgent calls where on-site work is less than four hours. In addition, Progent applies no startup charge and requires no monthly commitment for support services delivered during regular working hours. Many service firms demand large minimum fees or charge for every fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity eliminates large bills for fast solutions so you will not be forced to permit simple problems to stay unaddressed.
- Complete Records of IT Services
Progent has created a comprehensive support reporting system that stores and formats detailed documentation for all delivered services. Unlike some freelance consultants or local service organizations who provide minimal documentation or specifics of tasks performed, every service delivered by Progent is accompanied by comprehensive documentation. Each Progent staff member has access to the service documentation transmitted by each consultant to each customer. The practice of documenting and archiving service records results in more efficient support and avoids a slew of common problems such as when a support client is effectively held captive to a consultant who refuses to release vital service information.
- Automated Server Monitoring with MS System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the only consulting firms to provide round-the-clock network monitoring services based on Microsoft System Center Operations Manager. MS Operations Manager allows your network support to be anticipatory rather than reactive. By uncovering potential issues before they result in lost productivity, system monitoring can keep your IT network from stressful and expensive service losses.
