Benefits of Progent's Network Help for Companies in Bakersfield California
Progent's remote support services enable your Bakersfield business to realize the benefits of immediate, enterprise-class IT support without the expense of managing an in-house IT organization. Your network will derive added strategic worth by becoming more available, productive, and protected. Advantages to your business include:
- Seamless virtual extension of your on-site support resources
With most offices in Bakersfield California, nearby computer service resources, whether consisting of independent consultants or an internal IT staff, can solve the majority of technical problems. On the other hand, serious problems might strike when your regular resources are overstretched or absent, and some trouble may involve technology that is beyond the scope of your usual service personnel. In these situations, Progent's on-call service experts offer a convenient, quick, and budget-friendly way to augment your local resources and to convey useful knowledge to improve your ability to deal with downstream problems in-house.
- Reduced Reliance on Freelance Consultants
For IT support, smaller offices often depend on individual freelance consultants. Although independent consultants carry less overhead than larger service firms and can afford to charge lower rates, they are occasionally overextended, making it impossible to respond rapidly to crisis situations. If an independent consultant is busy with another client, ill, on a trip, or in class, the lack of backup help may require your company to go without help during an emergency. As your network expands, network downtime and problems with vital applications are more expensive. The money you thought you were conserving on an independent can be consumed fast by reduced productivity. Progent offers a reliable source of reserve service expertise to make sure your IT system stays available.
- Build a Solid Foundation for Smooth Expansion
Businesses typically start with an IT system created on a shoestring budget. Without a strong framework, band-aid repairs often get thrown on top of a weak foundation. When a company grows, reliability and expandability problems can hinder the productivity of the business. Such poorly built systems require careful analysis, intelligent strategic planning, and extensive technical expertise to evolve to a network infrastructure able to deliver the stable foundation to handle current business requirements and simplify downstream growth.
- Interact with Solution Providers Rather Than Product Sellers
Smaller companies require advice and technical education to negotiate an ever more complicated maze of product options available for accelerating business growth and enhancing efficiency. Businesses hardly need a network consultant who is motivated to sell a specific vendor's products. IT consulting and product selling can lead to a scenario where the recommended
solution is designed around a profitable product instead of the true needs of a business. Progent avoids these dilemmas by selling just services instead of products. This enables Progent to match IT expertise with the real needs of customers.
How Is Progent Different from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting company and Progent's staff size, range of technical experience, fine tuned support tools, and understanding of enterprise networking enable businesses to avoid the limitations of exclusive reliance on smaller consulting organizations, individual freelance service providers, or limited internal resources.
Progent adds value by providing:
- Proven Methodology
Progent's team of Microsoft and Cisco Premier experts average longer than ten years of hands-on professional background, in the trenches of IT support, executing a wide variety of technical tasks for an extensive mix of clients. Each Progent consultant shares a proven collection of personal best practices which are combined into company-wide leading practices standards that Progent instills in its consulting team. This guarantees that you get not just expert technical skills, but also a support engineer with field-tested approaches for using technical knowledge to fix real-world IT problems efficiently.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to bill for phone support and in-person help per minute. Consequently, you pay only for delivered services. Progent does not demand a more expensive rate for off-hours or priority service, and inside California or in areas where Progent offers in-person support, Progent does not charge for travel time except for emergency support where on-site time is less than 4 hours. In addition, Progent applies no service activation charge and requires no monthly commitment for support services delivered during regular business hours. Many support organizations demand substantial minimum fees or charge for every fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity eliminates big bills for quick fixes so you will not be forced to allow minor problems to stay unaddressed.
- Full Records of IT Services
Progent has created a comprehensive service reporting system that stores and organizes complete documentation for all delivered support activities. Unlike some independent consultants or local service organizations who provide minimal documentation or details of tasks performed, each service delivered by Progent is tracked by comprehensive documentation. Each Progent consultant has access to the support documentation transmitted by each consultant to every customer. The practice of detailing and organizing support activity allows more efficient service and avoids a slew of typical misfortunes such as when a support client is effectively held hostage to a consultant who refuses to let go of the keys to the kingdom.
- Automated Network Monitoring with Microsoft Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few support companies to provide 24x7 network monitoring services powered by MS Operations Manager. MS Operations Manager allows your computer support to be proactive instead of reactive. By anticipating potential problems before they result in lost productivity, network monitoring can save your IT network from stressful and expensive availability losses.
