Over two decades of delivering online technical assistance has led to Microsoft Partner certification for Progent's consulting experts and has allowed Progent to acquire world-class troubleshooting capability and to fine tune remote access tools to solve computer problems rapidly while avoiding the cost and lost productivity that comes with on-site service visits.
Even if your Baton Rouge office deals with a local freelance support technician or employs an in-house organization that can deal with ordinary computer problems, Progent's Microsoft certified engineers can offer a convenient and transparent remote extension of your on-site resources in cases when your regular service personnel either lack the time or the experience to fix unexpected system crises or particularly challenging integration projects.
Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Offices in Baton Rouge Louisiana
Progent's remote support services allow your Baton Rouge business to have the advantages of timely, enterprise-class IT support without the expense of maintaining a full-time IT staff. Your network will derive added business worth by being more reliable, productive, and secure. Benefits to your business include:
- Seamless virtual extension of your local support resources
With most companies in Baton Rouge Louisiana, local computer support resources, whether consisting of freelance consultants or an internal IT staff, can deal with the majority of technical problems. However, IT crises might strike when your regular support personnel are too busy or unavailable, and some problems may be associated with technology that is beyond the scope of your local service technicians. In these situations, Progent's online support experts offer a convenient, quick, and economical solution to supplement your local help and to convey useful knowledge to increase your ability to deal with future issues locally.
- Reduced Reliance on Freelance Consultants
For network maintenance, smaller companies often rely on individual freelance service providers. Although freelance service people carry smaller overhead than larger support organizations and can often charge lower rates, they are often overbooked, making it hard to respond quickly to crisis situations. If a freelance consultant is busy with another client, sick, on a trip, or in class, the lack of backup personnel may require your company to wait for help during an IT crisis. As your network expands, system downtime and problems with critical applications become more costly. The budget you thought you were conserving on an independent can be eaten up quickly by lost productivity. Progent offers a dependable source of reserve support expertise to make sure your network stays available.
- Build a Solid Foundation for Seamless Growth
Companies often begin with an IT architecture created on a shoestring budget. Without a strong infrastructure, slap-dash repairs can get thrown onto a shaky foundation. When a network grows, stability and scalability problems can hinder the productivity of the organization. These poorly built systems need proper assessment, intelligent long-term planning, and wide IT knowledge to evolve to a network architecture able to offer the stable foundation to handle critical business requirements and ease future growth.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Rather Than Technology Resellers
Smaller organizations need advice and technical training to navigate through an ever more complicated maze of product options capable of promoting business growth and improving efficiency. Businesses hardly need a network engineer who is trying to earn a commission on a certain vendor's technology. IT consulting and product sales can result in a scenario where the recommended
solution is designed around a predetermined product instead of the genuine needs of a client. Progent eliminates these conflicts of interest by offering just services rather than products. This allows Progent to align IT consulting with the real needs of clients.
What Makes Progent Different from Other Support Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting company and Progent's staff size, range of technical background, refined remote support software, and understanding of corporate IT allow offices to avoid the limitations of exclusive dependence on smaller service organizations, individual freelance service providers, or limited internal resources.
Progent stands out by providing:
- Best Practices
Progent's team of Microsoft and Cisco Premier consultants average longer than a decade of hands-on industry experience, at the front lines of IT support, performing a wide range of technical tasks for a large array of customers. Each Progent consultant shares a proven set of personal best practices which are combined into shared best practices standards that Progent instills in its consulting personnel. This guarantees that you get not only world-class IT skills, but also a support engineer with field-tested approaches for applying computer knowledge to resolve actual IT problems rapidly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to bill for phone service and on-site help by the minute. Consequently, you owe exclusively for delivered support. Progent does not impose a higher rate for after-hours or urgent service, and within California or in regions where Progent provides on-premises service, Progent does not bill for travel except for urgent calls where on-site time is less than four hours. Also, Progent applies no minimum charge and requires no retainer for support services delivered during regular business hours. Many support firms demand large minimum payments or charge for every quarter hour or longer. Progent's fine granularity does away with big bills for fast repairs so you will not be forced to allow less critical problems to fester.
- Full Documentation of IT Services
Progent has developed a sophisticated support reporting system that stores and formats detailed documentation for all billed services. Unlike many freelance consultants or small service firms who provide minimal documentation or specifics of services done, each service provided by Progent is accompanied by comprehensive documentation. Every Progent consultant has access to the service reports transmitted by every staff member to each client. The discipline of detailing and organizing support activity results in more efficient service and avoids a slew of typical problems such as when a service customer is effectively held hostage to a consultant who refuses to release the keys to the kingdom.
- Remote Network Monitoring with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the only support companies to offer 24x7 system tracking services based on MS System Center Operations Manager. MS System Center Operations Manager causes your computer support to be proactive instead of reactive. By uncovering potential issues before they result in lost productivity, system monitoring can keep your IT network from painful and expensive availability losses.
