Benefits of Progent's Network Help for Offices in Baltimore Maryland
Progent's remote IT consulting services enable your Baltimore company to have the benefits of immediate, enterprise-class network support without the cost of maintaining a full-time IT organization. Your network will derive added business value by becoming increasingly available, efficient, and protected. Advantages to your business include:
- Convenient virtual expansion of your local IT resources
For most offices in Baltimore Maryland, nearby network service providers, whether represented by outside consultants or an internal maintenance staff, can deal with the majority of technical issues. On the other hand, serious problems sometimes strike when local resources are too busy or unavailable, and some trouble may be associated with IT products that is beyond the scope of your usual support personnel. In these situations, Progent's on-call support professionals provide a convenient, quick, and affordable solution to supplement your local resources and to transfer valuable knowledge to increase your capability to resolve future issues in-house.
- Less Dependence on Freelance Consultants
For network support, smaller offices often depend on independent freelance service providers. Although freelance consultants carry smaller internal costs than larger consulting firms and can often charge marginally less, they are often overbooked, making it impossible to respond quickly to crisis situations. If an independent service provider is busy with another customer, ill, on a trip, or in class, the absence of fallback personnel may require your business to wait for assistance during an IT crisis. As your company grows, network downtime and trouble with critical software are more expensive. The money you thought you were conserving on an independent can be eaten up fast by lost productivity. Progent offers a reliable source of backup service experts to make sure your IT system is always available.
- Create a Solid Foundation for Smooth Expansion
Businesses typically begin with an IT architecture created on a modest budget. Lacking a strong framework, band-aid fixes often get piled onto an unstable foundation. As a network grows, reliability and expandability issues can impede the productivity of the organization. Such poorly built systems require proper assessment, intelligent strategic planning, and extensive technical expertise to evolve to a network architecture that can provide the stable foundation to handle vital business requirements and facilitate future growth.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Rather Than Technology Resellers
Smaller organizations need advice and technical education to negotiate an ever more complicated maze of product options capable of accelerating business growth and enhancing efficiency. These companies hardly need a computer engineer who is trying to resell a certain vendor's products. Network support and product selling can lead to a scenario where the recommended
solution is designed around a profitable product instead of the true requirements of a client. Progent avoids these conflicts by selling only services instead of products. This enables Progent to match IT consulting with the real interests of customers.
What Makes Progent Different from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner support firm and Progent's number of employees, range of technical experience, refined support software, and familiarity with corporate IT enable offices to avoid the limitations associated with excessive dependence on smaller service organizations, independent freelance consultants, or over-stretched in-house resources.
Progent adds value by offering:
- In-depth Expertise in Microsoft's Full Line of Server Platforms
Progent can provide in-depth expertise for Microsoft's popular server platforms with services that include Microsoft Windows Server 2022 planning and migration services, Microsoft Windows Server 2019 migration services, Windows Server 2016 hybrid cloud integration, Windows Server 2012 R2 migration and deployment support, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 migration, Windows 2003 Server maintenance, Microsoft Exchange 2019 integration, Microsoft Exchange 2016 migration, Microsoft Exchange 2013 integration, Exchange Server 2010 management, Microsoft Exchange 2007 Server and Exchange Server 2003 moves, plus MS SQL Server 2019 hybrid integration expertise, Microsoft SQL Server 2017 planing and migration, SQL Server 2016 integration and development, SQL Server 2014 support, and SQL Server 2012 management and troubleshooting.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing model is to bill for remote support and on-site visits by the minute. Consequently, you owe only for delivered support. Progent does not demand a more expensive rate for off-hours or priority support, and inside California or in areas where Progent offers in-person support, Progent does not bill for travel except for emergency calls where on-site time is less than four hours. In addition, Progent imposes no service activation fee and requires no monthly commitment for services provided during regular business hours. Many support organizations impose large minimum payments or charge for each fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity eliminates big bills for fast solutions so you won't be tempted to permit simple problems to stay unaddressed.
- Full Documentation of Delivered Services
Progent has created a sophisticated service reporting system that stores and formats complete documentation for all billed support activities. Unlike some freelance consultants or small service organizations who offer scant documentation or specifics of tasks performed, each service provided by Progent is tracked by full documentation. Every Progent consultant has access to the service reports transmitted by each consultant to each customer. The practice of detailing and archiving service activity results in more effective support and avoids a variety of typical problems such as when a support customer is effectively held captive to a consultant who refuses to release vital service information.
- 24x7 Network Monitoring with MS Operations Manager
Progent is one of the only consulting firms to provide 24x7 remote monitoring services based on MS Operations Manager. MS Operations Manager causes your network maintenance to be proactive instead of reactive. By uncovering possible issues before they cause lost productivity, system monitoring can keep your information network from stressful and expensive service disruptions.
