Benefits of Progent's IT Support for Offices in Bakersfield California
Progent's remote network troubleshooting services allow your Bakersfield company to have the benefits of on-call, enterprise-class network support without the cost of managing a full-time IT staff. Your network will acquire added strategic worth by becoming more reliable, efficient, and protected. Advantages to your business include:
- Convenient remote extension of your local IT resources
With most organizations in Bakersfield California, nearby computer service resources, whether represented by freelance consultants or a full-time maintenance staff, can take care of the majority of network issues. On the other hand, IT crises sometimes occur when your regular resources are overstretched or unavailable, and some trouble may stem from technology that is beyond the scope of your usual service personnel. In these instances, Progent's online support professionals provide a convenient, fast, and economical way to augment your local resources and to transfer valuable information to improve your capability to resolve future problems locally.
- Less Dependence on Freelance Consultants
For network support, smaller businesses often rely on independent freelance service providers. Although independent consultants have smaller internal costs than larger service firms and can often charge marginally less, they are occasionally overextended, making it impossible to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If a freelance consultant is occupied with another client, ill, on vacation, or in training, the lack of reserve personnel may force your business to wait for help during an IT crisis. As your network grows, system unavailability and trouble with critical applications are more expensive. The budget you thought you were saving on a freelancer can be consumed fast by reduced productivity. Progent provides an on-call source of backup support experts to make sure your IT system is always up and running.
- Create a Scalable Foundation for Seamless Expansion
Companies often begin with an information architecture implemented on a shoestring budget. Lacking a robust framework, band-aid repairs can get piled onto an unstable foundation. As a network grows, stability and expandability issues can impede the productivity of the organization. These badly built systems need careful analysis, smart long-term planning, and broad-based IT knowledge to upgrade to a network architecture able to deliver the stable foundation to handle vital business demands and simplify future expansion.
- Interact with Solution Providers Rather Than Technology Sellers
Smaller companies require guidance and technical education to negotiate an ever more complicated maze of product options available for accelerating business success and enhancing efficiency. They hardly need a network engineer who is motivated to sell a certain vendor's products. IT support and product selling can lead to a scenario where the proposed
solution is built around a profitable technology rather than the genuine requirements of a client. Progent eliminates these conflicts by offering only services instead of products. This allows Progent to match IT consulting with the real needs of customers.
How Is Progent Unique from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support firm and Progent's head count, range of IT knowledge, refined remote support tools, and understanding of corporate IT allow businesses to avoid the limitations associated with excessive reliance on smaller consulting firms, independent freelance consultants, or over-stretched internal IT help.
Progent stands out by offering:
- Best Practices
Progent's team of Microsoft and Cisco Premier Certified experts average more than ten years of real-world professional background, at the front lines of network service, executing a broad range of IT tasks for an extensive mix of businesses. Each Progent consultant shares a refined collection of personal best practices which are incorporated into shared best practices standards that Progent instills in its support staff. This means that you get not only expert IT help, but also a consultant with proven approaches for using technical knowledge to repair real-world IT problems rapidly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to bill for phone support and on-site visits per minute. Consequently, you owe just for delivered services. Progent does not impose a more expensive rate for after-hours or urgent support, and within California or in areas where Progent provides on-premises service, Progent does not bill for travel except for emergency support where on-site time is less than four hours. Also, Progent imposes no service activation fee and asks no retainer for services delivered during normal business hours. Many service organizations demand substantial minimum payments or charge for every quarter hour or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity does away with big invoices for fast repairs so you won't be tempted to permit simple problems to fester.
- Complete Records of IT Services
Progent has developed a sophisticated support reporting system that stores and organizes complete documentation for all billed support activities. Unlike some freelance consultants or small service firms who offer minimal documentation or details of services performed, every service provided by Progent is accompanied by comprehensive documentation. Every Progent consultant has access to the service documentation sent by each consultant to every client. The practice of detailing and archiving support activity allows more efficient support and avoids a variety of typical misfortunes such as when a service customer is virtually held captive to a consultant who won't let go of vital service information.
- 24x7 Server Monitoring with Microsoft Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few support firms to offer 24x7 system monitoring services powered by Microsoft Operations Manager. MS System Center Operations Manager allows your network maintenance to be anticipatory rather than reactive. By uncovering possible problems before they cause downtime, network monitoring can keep your IT network from painful and costly service disruptions.
