Benefits of Progent's Network Help for Companies in Birmingham Alabama
Progent's online support services enable your Birmingham business to enjoy the advantages of on-call, enterprise-grade network support without the cost of maintaining a full-time IT organization. Your information system will derive greater business value by being more reliable, productive, and secure. Benefits to your company include:
- Seamless remote expansion of your local IT resources
With most offices in Birmingham Alabama, local network service providers, whether made up of freelance consultants or an in-house IT staff, can deal with the majority of network issues. However, serious problems may spring up when your regular support personnel are too busy or unavailable, and some trouble may be associated with IT products that is beyond the scope of your local service people. In these instances, Progent's online support professionals provide an easy, quick, and economical way to augment your local resources and to pass on useful knowledge to increase your capability to deal with downstream issues in-house.
- Reduced Dependence on Freelance Service Providers
For network support, smaller businesses often rely on individual freelance service providers. Although freelance consultants have less internal costs than larger consulting firms and can often charge marginally less, they are occasionally overbooked, making it hard to respond quickly to urgent situations. If an independent consultant is occupied with another client, sick, on vacation, or in class, the absence of reserve personnel may require your business to wait for help during an emergency. As your network grows, system unavailability and problems with vital applications become more expensive. The budget you thought you were saving on an independent can be consumed fast by reduced productivity. Progent offers a reliable source of backup support experts to insure your network is always available.
- Create a Scalable Basis for Smooth Growth
Companies typically start with an IT architecture created on a shoestring budget. Without a proper framework, slap-dash repairs can get thrown onto a weak foundation. When a network grows, reliability and scalability problems can impede the success of the organization. These poorly built environments need careful analysis, smart strategic planning, and wide IT expertise to evolve to a system infrastructure able to offer the solid foundation to meet vital business demands and facilitate downstream expansion.
- Interact with Solution Providers Rather Than Product Vendors
Smaller organizations require guidance and technical education to negotiate an ever more complex maze of technology alternatives capable of promoting business success and enhancing productivity. These companies do not need a computer consultant who is trying to resell a specific vendor's products. Network consulting and product selling can result in a scenario where the proposed
solution is built around a predetermined technology instead of the genuine needs of a business. Progent eliminates these conflicts by offering just services rather than products. This allows Progent to match IT consulting with the best interests of customers.
How Is Progent Unique from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner support firm and Progent's number of employees, range of IT knowledge, fine tuned remote support tools, and understanding of corporate IT allow companies to avoid the limitations associated with excessive dependence on smaller service firms, independent freelance service providers, or limited internal IT help.

- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to bill for phone service and on-site visits per minute. Consequently, you are billed exclusively for received support. Progent does not impose a more expensive rate for after-hours or urgent service, and inside California or in areas where Progent offers on-premises service, Progent does not bill for travel except for emergency calls where on-site work is less than four hours. Also, Progent applies no minimum charge and asks no monthly commitment for support services delivered during regular working hours. Many service organizations demand substantial minimum fees or charge for every fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's fine granularity does away with large invoices for fast fixes so you will not be forced to allow simple problems to stay unaddressed.
- Information Transfer
Progent practices knowledge transfer from Progent's consultants to clients. By educating clients to handle technical issues that are within their scope, Progent is able to concentrate on providing high-value services where Progent has little competition. Companies who work with familiar independent service providers or who maintain internal support personnel benefit when Progent passes on knowledge about new technology and proven methodologies to make their networks more reliable, protected, and productive.
