Benefits of Progent's Network Help for Offices in Belo Horizonte Minas Gerais
Progent's online support services allow your Belo Horizonte company to have the advantages of timely, expert network support without the expense of maintaining a full-time IT staff. Your network will derive greater strategic value by becoming more reliable, productive, and secure. Benefits to your company include:
- Convenient virtual expansion of your local IT resources
For most offices in Belo Horizonte Minas Gerais, local computer support resources, whether consisting of outside consultants or an in-house maintenance staff, can deal with typical network issues. However, major troubles sometimes spring up when your regular resources 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 online support experts provide an easy, fast, and budget-friendly solution to augment your regular resources and to convey valuable knowledge to increase your ability to deal with future problems in-house.
- Reduced Dependence on Freelance Consultants
For network maintenance, smaller businesses often rely on independent freelance consultants. Although independent consultants carry less overhead than big service companies and can often charge marginally less, they are occasionally stretched too thin, making it impossible to respond rapidly to crisis situations. If a freelance service provider is occupied with another client, sick, on a trip, or in class, the lack of reserve help may force your business to wait for help during an IT crisis. As your network expands, system unavailability and trouble with critical applications become more costly. The budget you thought you were saving on a freelancer can be eaten up quickly by lost productivity. Progent provides an on-call source of backup support experts to make sure your IT system is always available.
- Create a Scalable Basis for Seamless Expansion
Businesses often start with an information architecture implemented on a modest budget. Without a strong infrastructure, band-aid fixes often get piled on top of a weak foundation. As a network grows, reliability and expandability problems can hinder the success of the organization. These poorly built environments require careful assessment, smart long-term planning, and broad-based IT knowledge to evolve to a network infrastructure that can deliver the stable foundation to handle critical business demands and ease downstream expansion.
- Work with Solution Providers Instead of Technology Resellers
Smaller businesses require advice and technical training to navigate through an ever more complicated array of product alternatives capable of promoting business growth and enhancing productivity. These companies do not need a computer consultant who is attempting to earn a commission on a certain vendor's products. Network support and product selling can lead to a situation where the recommended
solution is built around a profitable product instead of the genuine requirements of a client. Progent avoids these dilemmas by offering just services rather than products. This allows Progent to align IT consulting with the best needs of customers.
How Is Progent Different from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner consulting company and Progent's staff size, range of technical background, fine tuned remote support tools, and understanding of enterprise networking allow companies to escape the limitations of exclusive reliance on smaller consulting firms, individual freelance service providers, or over-stretched internal resources.

- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to charge for online support and in-person visits by the minute. Consequently, you are invoiced only for received services.

Also, Progent applies no initialization fee and asks no monthly commitment for services delivered during regular business hours. Many support organizations impose large minimum fees or charge for each fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity eliminates large bills for fast repairs so you won't be forced to allow simple problems to fester.
- Information Transfer
Progent practices knowledge transfer from Progent's support experts to customers. By teaching clients to handle technical issues that are within their scope, Progent is able to focus on offering high-value skills where Progent faces little competition. Businesses who utilize familiar independent service providers or who employ internal IT personnel benefit when Progent transfers information about critical technology and proven methodologies to make their networks more robust, protected, and efficient.
