Benefits of Progent's Network Help for Offices in Bellevue Washington
Progent's remote support services allow your Bellevue business to experience the benefits of on-call, expert network support without the cost of maintaining an in-house IT staff. Your network will acquire greater strategic value by being more available, efficient, and protected. Advantages to your company include:
- Seamless virtual extension of your on-site support resources
With most offices in Bellevue Washington, nearby computer support resources, whether consisting of outside consultants or an internal IT staff, can solve the majority of network problems. On the other hand, IT crises can strike when local support personnel are overstretched or absent, and some trouble may stem from technology that is beyond the scope of your local service personnel. In these instances, Progent's online service professionals offer an easy, fast, and affordable solution to augment your local help and to transfer useful knowledge to increase your capability to resolve future problems in-house.
- Less Dependence on Individual Service Providers
For IT support, smaller organizations commonly rely on individual freelance consultants. Although freelance consultants carry smaller overhead than larger service companies and can afford to charge lower rates, they are occasionally overbooked, making it difficult to respond quickly to urgent situations. If a freelance consultant is occupied with another customer, ill, on vacation, or in training, the lack of fallback help may force your company to wait for assistance during an emergency. As your company grows, system unavailability and trouble with vital applications are more expensive. The money you thought you were saving on a freelancer can be eaten up quickly by reduced productivity. Progent offers a ready source of backup service experts to make sure your IT system stays up and running.
- Create a Solid Foundation for Seamless Expansion
Organizations often begin with an IT architecture implemented on a shoestring budget. Without a scalable infrastructure, band-aid repairs often get thrown on top of a shaky foundation. When a network grows, reliability and expandability issues can hinder the productivity of the business. These badly built environments need proper assessment, smart long-term planning, and extensive IT expertise to upgrade to a system architecture able to provide the solid foundation to handle critical business demands and facilitate future growth.
- Work with Problem Solvers Instead of Product Vendors
Smaller organizations need guidance and technical training to navigate through an ever more complex array of product options available for accelerating business success and enhancing productivity. Businesses do not need a network engineer who is motivated to earn a commission on a specific vendor's technology. IT support and product selling can result in a situation where the proposed
solution is built around a profitable technology rather than the true needs of a client. Progent eliminates these dilemmas by selling just services rather than products. This allows Progent to align IT expertise with the best interests of clients.
What Makes Progent Unique from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support company and Progent's number of employees, breadth of IT knowledge, refined remote support tools, and familiarity with enterprise networking allow offices to escape the limitations associated with exclusive reliance on smaller consulting organizations, independent freelance consultants, or over-stretched internal IT help.
