Benefits of Progent's Network Help for Businesses in Birmingham United Kingdom
Progent's remote support services allow your Birmingham company to have the benefits of immediate, enterprise-grade network support without the cost of maintaining a full-time IT staff. Your network will derive greater strategic value by being more reliable, productive, and secure. Benefits to your company include:
- Seamless virtual expansion of your on-site support resources
For most offices in Birmingham United Kingdom, nearby computer support resources, whether made up of freelance consultants or a full-time maintenance staff, can resolve the majority of technical problems. On the other hand, serious problems may spring up when your regular support personnel are too busy or unavailable, and some problems may stem from IT products that is beyond the scope of your usual support technicians. In these cases, Progent's on-call support professionals give you a convenient, quick, and affordable way to supplement your local help and to transfer valuable knowledge to increase your ability to deal with downstream issues in-house.
- Less Dependence on Individual Consultants
For network support, smaller organizations often rely on individual freelance consultants. Although freelance service people have smaller internal costs than big consulting firms and can afford to charge marginally less, they are sometimes stretched too thin, making it hard to respond quickly to urgent situations. If an independent consultant is occupied with another customer, ill, on vacation, or in training, the absence of backup personnel may force your company to wait for assistance during an emergency. As your business expands, network downtime and problems with critical applications become more costly. The budget you thought you were conserving on an independent can be eaten up fast by reduced productivity. Progent provides an on-call source of backup support experts to make sure your network remains available.
- Build a Scalable Foundation for Seamless Growth
Businesses often start with an IT system created on a modest budget. Without a strong framework, slap-dash fixes can get thrown on top of a weak foundation. When a company grows, reliability and scalability issues can hinder the productivity of the business. Such badly designed environments require proper analysis, intelligent long-term planning, and broad-based IT knowledge to evolve to a system architecture that can deliver the stable foundation to handle critical business demands and simplify future expansion.
- Work with Solution Providers Rather Than Product Vendors
Smaller companies need advice and technical training to navigate through an ever more complicated array of technology options available for accelerating business growth and enhancing efficiency. They do not need a network consultant who is trying to sell a specific vendor's products. Network consulting and product selling can result in a scenario where the recommended
solution is built around a profitable product rather than the genuine needs of a business. Progent avoids these conflicts of interest by offering just services rather than products. This enables Progent to align IT consulting with the real needs of clients.
What Makes Progent Unique from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support firm and Progent's head count, depth of technical background, fine tuned support tools, and familiarity with enterprise networking allow companies to escape the pitfalls associated with excessive dependence on smaller service organizations, independent freelance service providers, or limited internal IT help.
