Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Organizations in Bellevue Washington
Progent's online technical help services enable your Bellevue company to have the advantages of immediate, enterprise-class network support without the cost of managing an in-house IT staff. Your information system will derive greater business worth by becoming increasingly available, productive, and protected. Benefits to your company include:
- Convenient remote expansion of your on-site IT resources
For most offices in Bellevue Washington, nearby network support providers, whether made up of freelance consultants or an in-house IT staff, can deal with the majority of network problems. On the other hand, major troubles might occur when local support personnel are overstretched or unavailable, and some trouble may stem from IT products that is beyond the scope of your usual service people. In these cases, Progent's on-call service professionals provide a convenient, quick, and budget-friendly way to supplement your local help and to transfer valuable knowledge to increase your capability to deal with downstream problems in-house.
- Less Reliance on Freelance Consultants
For network support, smaller businesses commonly rely on individual freelance service providers. Although independent consultants have less internal costs than larger consulting companies and can often charge lower rates, they are occasionally overextended, making it difficult to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If an independent service provider is occupied with another customer, sick, on a trip, or in training, the absence of backup help may require your business to wait for assistance during an emergency. As your network expands, network downtime and problems with vital applications become more expensive. The money you thought you were conserving on an independent can be consumed quickly by reduced productivity. Progent offers a dependable source of reserve support expertise to make sure your network stays up and running.
- Build a Scalable Foundation for Smooth Growth
Organizations typically start with an IT architecture implemented on a shoestring budget. Without a scalable infrastructure, band-aid fixes can get piled on top of an unstable foundation. When a company grows, stability and scalability issues can hinder the success of the business. Such poorly designed environments require proper analysis, intelligent strategic planning, and broad-based IT expertise to upgrade to a network infrastructure that can deliver the solid foundation to handle vital business requirements and ease downstream growth.
- Work with Solution Providers Instead of Product Vendors
Smaller offices require guidance and technical training to navigate through an ever more complex array of product alternatives available for accelerating business success and enhancing productivity. They hardly need a network engineer who is trying to sell a certain vendor's products. IT support and product sales can lead to a situation where the proposed
solution is designed around a predetermined technology instead of the true requirements of a client. Progent avoids these conflicts by selling only services instead of products. This allows Progent to align IT expertise with the best needs of customers.
How Is Progent Different from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner support company and Progent's head count, depth of IT knowledge, fine tuned support tools, and familiarity with enterprise networking allow offices to escape the pitfalls associated with excessive reliance on smaller consulting organizations, individual freelance consultants, or over-stretched in-house IT help.
Progent stands out by providing:
- In-depth Knowledge of Microsoft's Entire Range of Server Platforms
Progent offers in-depth support for Microsoft's leading server platforms with services such as Microsoft Windows Server 2022 planning and integration expertise, Microsoft Windows Server 2019 migration consulting, Windows Server 2016 hybrid cloud solutions, Windows Server 2012 R2 migration and integration consulting, Windows Server 2008 support, Microsoft Windows 2003 maintenance, Microsoft Exchange 2019 integration, Microsoft Exchange 2016 migration, Exchange 2013 consulting, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 management, Exchange Server 2007 and Microsoft Exchange 2003 Server upgrades, plus Microsoft SQL Server 2019 integration consulting, MS SQL Server 2017 migration, Microsoft SQL Server 2016 integration, Microsoft SQL Server 2014 consulting support, and Microsoft SQL 2012 maintenance.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing model is to bill for remote support and in-person visits by the minute. Consequently, you are billed only for received services. Progent does not impose a more expensive rate for off-hours or priority service, and within California or in areas where Progent provides on-site support, Progent does not charge for travel time except for emergency support where on-site work is less than 4 hours. Also, Progent applies no initialization charge and requires no monthly commitment for services provided during regular working hours. Many support organizations impose large minimum fees or charge for each fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity avoids big bills for fast solutions so you won't be tempted to allow simple problems to fester.
- Complete Records of Delivered Services
Progent has created a comprehensive support reporting system that stores and organizes detailed documentation for all billed services. Unlike some independent consultants or local support organizations who provide minimal documentation or specifics of tasks performed, each service provided by Progent is accompanied by comprehensive documentation. Every Progent consultant has access to the support documentation transmitted by each staff member to each client. The discipline of detailing and organizing service records results in more effective support and eliminates a slew of typical problems such as when a service customer is effectively held captive to a consultant who won't let go of the keys to the kingdom.
- Remote Server Monitoring with MS System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few support companies to offer round-the-clock remote tracking services based on MS Operations Manager. MS Operations Manager causes your computer support to be proactive instead of reactive. By uncovering possible problems before they cause downtime, network monitoring can save your IT network from stressful and expensive availability losses.
