Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Offices in Baton Rouge
Progent's remote support services allow your Baton Rouge organization to experience the advantages of on-call, expert IT support without the expense of managing an in-house IT staff. Your information system will acquire added strategic value by becoming increasingly reliable, efficient, and protected. Advantages to your business include:

  • Convenient remote extension of your local IT resources
    With most businesses in Baton Rouge or anywhere in Louisiana, nearby computer support resources, whether made up of freelance consultants or an internal maintenance staff, can take care of the majority of network issues. However, IT crises might spring up when local resources are overstretched or unavailable, and some trouble may be associated with technology that is beyond the scope of your onsite support personnel. In these cases, Progent's on-call support professionals provide a convenient, fast, and economical solution to supplement your regular help and to convey valuable information to increase your ability to handle downstream problems locally.

  • Less Reliance on Individual Service Providers
    For IT maintenance, smaller companies often rely on independent freelance service providers. While freelance service people carry smaller internal costs than big support organizations and can afford to charge lower rates, they are occasionally overextended, making it hard to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If a freelance service provider is occupied with another customer, ill, on vacation, or in training, the lack of backup personnel may force your company to wait for help during an IT crisis. As your business expands, system unavailability and trouble with critical software become more costly. The budget you thought you were saving on an independent can be eaten up quickly by reduced productivity. Progent provides a reliable source of reserve support expertise to insure your IT system is always up and running.

  • Build a Solid Basis for Seamless Expansion
    Businesses typically begin with an information architecture implemented on a modest budget. Lacking a proper framework, slap-dash fixes can get thrown onto a weak foundation. As a company grows, reliability and expandability problems can hinder the productivity of the business. Such badly designed environments require careful analysis, intelligent strategic planning, and extensive IT knowledge to upgrade to a network architecture able to deliver the solid foundation to handle critical business demands and simplify future expansion.

  • Work with Solution Providers Instead of Technology Resellers
    Smaller organizations need advice and technical education to navigate through an ever more complicated maze of technology alternatives capable of promoting business growth and improving efficiency. Businesses do not need a network consultant who is attempting to earn a commission on a certain vendor's technology. Network support and product selling can result in a situation where the recommended solution is designed around a predetermined product instead of the genuine requirements of a client. Progent eliminates these conflicts of interest by selling only services instead of products. This allows Progent to match technical expertise with the best needs of customers.

How Is Progent Unique from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner consulting firm and Progent's number of employees, breadth of IT knowledge, fine tuned remote support tools, and familiarity with enterprise networking enable companies to escape the limitations of exclusive dependence on smaller service organizations, individual freelance consultants, or limited in-house IT help.
