Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Companies in Birmingham United Kingdom
Progent's online technical help services enable your Birmingham organization to have the advantages of timely, enterprise-level network support without the expense of managing a full-time IT organization. Your network will acquire greater strategic worth by being more available, efficient, and secure. Benefits to your business include:
- Seamless remote expansion of your on-site support resources
With most organizations in Birmingham United Kingdom, local computer support providers, whether made up of freelance consultants or a full-time maintenance staff, can handle the majority of network problems. On the other hand, major troubles may strike when local resources are overstretched or unavailable, and some problems may be associated with IT products that is beyond the scope of your onsite service personnel. In these instances, Progent's online service professionals offer a convenient, fast, and economical solution to augment your local help and to transfer valuable information to improve your ability to deal with downstream problems locally.
- Reduced Reliance on Freelance Service Providers
For network maintenance, smaller offices often rely on independent freelance service providers. Although independent consultants have smaller overhead than larger consulting companies and can often charge lower rates, they are often stretched too thin, making it difficult to respond quickly to crisis situations. If a freelance consultant is occupied with another client, ill, on a trip, or in training, the lack of backup personnel may force your business to wait for assistance during an IT crisis. As your business grows, network unavailability and problems with critical software are more costly. The money you thought you were saving on an independent can be eaten up quickly by lost productivity. Progent offers an on-call source of reserve support experts to make sure your network remains available.
- Build a Scalable Basis for Smooth Growth
Businesses typically start with an information architecture created on a modest budget. Without a strong framework, slap-dash fixes can get thrown onto a weak foundation. When a network grows, stability and expandability issues can hinder the productivity of the business. Such badly designed environments require careful assessment, intelligent strategic planning, and wide IT expertise to evolve to a network infrastructure able to provide the stable foundation to meet critical business demands and simplify future expansion.
- Work with Problem Solvers Instead of Product Vendors
Smaller businesses require guidance and technical training to navigate through an ever more complex array of technology alternatives capable of accelerating business growth and enhancing productivity. Businesses hardly need a computer consultant who is trying to resell a specific vendor's products. Network support and product sales can result in a scenario where the proposed
solution is designed around a profitable technology instead of the genuine requirements of a business. Progent avoids these conflicts of interest by selling only services instead of products. This allows Progent to align IT consulting with the real needs of customers.
How Is Progent Unique from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting firm and Progent's number of employees, depth of IT background, fine tuned support tools, and familiarity with enterprise networking enable companies to avoid the pitfalls associated with exclusive reliance on smaller service organizations, individual freelance consultants, or over-stretched in-house IT help.
Progent stands out by offering:
- Best Practices
Progent's team of Microsoft and Cisco Certified consultants average longer than ten years of hands-on professional background, at the front lines of IT service, performing a wide range of IT tasks for a large array of customers. Every Progent support professional shares a refined set of personal best practices which are incorporated into shared best practices standards that Progent teaches its support staff. This means that you get not just expert IT capability, but also a consultant with field-tested methods for applying technical knowledge to repair real-world network problems efficiently.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing model is to bill for online service and on-premises visits per minute. As a result, you are charged exclusively for delivered services. Progent does not impose a more expensive rate for off-hours or emergency support, and inside California or in regions where Progent offers in-person service, Progent does not bill for travel time except for urgent support where on-site time is less than 4 hours. Also, Progent applies no startup fee and requires no retainer for support services provided during normal business hours. Many service organizations impose large minimum payments or charge for each fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity does away with big bills for quick repairs so you will not be tempted to allow minor problems to fester.
- Complete Documentation of IT Services
Progent has created a sophisticated service reporting system that stores and formats detailed documentation for all billed services. Unlike some freelance consultants or local service firms who offer scant documentation or details of tasks done, each service delivered by Progent is accompanied by comprehensive documentation. Each Progent staff member has access to the support reports sent by each staff member to every client. The discipline of documenting and organizing support records results in more efficient service and avoids a variety of common misfortunes such as when a service client is effectively held hostage to a consultant who won't release vital service information.
- Remote Server Monitoring with MS System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the only support companies to provide 24x7 system tracking services powered by Microsoft System Center Operations Manager. MS Operations Manager allows your network support to be anticipatory rather than reactive. By anticipating possible issues before they result in downtime, network monitoring can keep your IT network from stressful and costly availability losses.
