Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Offices in Birmingham Alabama
Progent's online IT consulting services allow your Birmingham organization to experience the benefits of on-call, enterprise-grade network support without the expense of managing an in-house IT organization. Your information system will derive added strategic value by becoming more reliable, efficient, and secure. Benefits to your business include:
- Seamless remote extension of your local IT resources
For most companies in Birmingham Alabama, nearby computer support providers, whether made up of outside consultants or a full-time IT staff, can solve the majority of technical issues. However, IT crises might spring up when your regular support personnel are overstretched or unavailable, and some problems may be associated with IT products that is beyond the scope of your usual support people. In these situations, Progent's online service experts provide a convenient, quick, and affordable way to augment your local resources and to pass on valuable knowledge to increase your ability to deal with downstream issues in-house.
- Reduced Dependence on Freelance Service Providers
For IT maintenance, smaller businesses often rely on independent freelance consultants. While independent consultants have less overhead than big support firms and can afford to charge marginally less, they are occasionally stretched too thin, making it impossible to respond quickly to urgent situations. If an independent consultant is busy with another customer, sick, on a trip, or in class, the lack of fallback help may require your company to wait for help during an emergency. As your company grows, system unavailability and trouble 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 ready source of backup service experts to make sure your network stays available.
- Create a Solid Basis for Seamless Growth
Companies often start with an information architecture implemented on a modest budget. Lacking a strong framework, slap-dash repairs often get thrown onto a shaky foundation. As a company grows, reliability and scalability problems can impede the success of the organization. Such poorly designed environments need proper analysis, smart long-term planning, and extensive IT expertise to upgrade to a network architecture able to provide the solid foundation to meet current business requirements and facilitate future growth.
- Work with Solution Providers Instead of Technology Sellers
Smaller organizations need guidance and technical training to negotiate an ever more complicated maze of product options capable of accelerating business growth and enhancing productivity. These companies hardly need a network engineer who is trying to resell a specific vendor's technology. IT consulting and product selling can lead to a situation where the recommended
solution is built around a profitable technology rather than the genuine requirements of a business. Progent eliminates these dilemmas by offering only services instead of products. This enables Progent to match technical expertise with the real interests of customers.
