Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Offices in Baltimore Maryland
Progent's remote network troubleshooting services allow your Baltimore company to have the benefits of on-call, expert network support without the expense of managing a full-time IT organization. Your information system will derive greater strategic value by being increasingly available, efficient, and secure. Benefits to your business include:
- Convenient remote expansion of your local support resources
With most organizations in Baltimore Maryland, local network support providers, whether made up of independent consultants or an internal IT staff, can take care of typical technical problems. However, serious problems can strike when local support personnel are overstretched or absent, and some problems may stem from technology that is beyond the scope of your usual service personnel. In these cases, Progent's on-call service specialists give you an easy, quick, and economical way to supplement your regular resources and to pass on useful information to increase your ability to deal with downstream problems locally.
- Less Dependence on Individual Consultants
For IT maintenance, smaller companies commonly depend on individual freelance service providers. Although independent consultants have less internal costs than larger support companies and can often charge marginally less, they are occasionally overbooked, making it impossible to respond quickly to urgent situations. If a freelance consultant is busy with another customer, sick, on vacation, or in class, the lack of fallback help may require your business to go without assistance during an IT crisis. As your company expands, system downtime and problems with critical software are more costly. The money you thought you were saving on a freelancer can be consumed quickly by reduced productivity. Progent offers a reliable source of backup service expertise to insure your IT system is always up and running.
- Build a Solid Foundation for Seamless Growth
Companies typically begin with an IT system created on a shoestring budget. Lacking a robust infrastructure, band-aid fixes often get piled onto an unstable foundation. When a network grows, reliability and scalability issues can impede the productivity of the business. Such badly designed environments require careful analysis, intelligent strategic planning, and broad-based IT knowledge to evolve to a network infrastructure that can deliver the solid foundation to handle current business demands and facilitate future growth.
- Interact with Solution Providers Rather Than Technology Vendors
Smaller organizations require advice and technical education to navigate through an increasingly complex maze of technology alternatives available for promoting business success and improving productivity. Businesses do not need a network engineer who is motivated to earn a commission on a specific vendor's products. IT support and product sales can result in a situation where the proposed
solution is designed around a profitable product rather than the genuine requirements of a client. Progent eliminates these dilemmas by selling just services rather than products. This allows Progent to align IT consulting with the real needs of clients.
What Makes Progent Unique from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner consulting firm and Progent's number of employees, breadth of technical knowledge, fine tuned support software, and understanding of enterprise networking allow offices to avoid the limitations of exclusive reliance on smaller service organizations, individual freelance service providers, or over-stretched in-house resources.
