Benefits of Progent's IT Support for Offices in Birmingham United Kingdom
Progent's remote technical help services allow your Birmingham business to have the benefits of immediate, enterprise-class network support without the cost of maintaining an in-house IT staff. Your network will acquire added business value by being increasingly available, efficient, and protected. Benefits to your business include:
- Seamless virtual expansion of your on-site support resources
For most offices in Birmingham United Kingdom, nearby computer service providers, whether represented by outside consultants or a full-time maintenance staff, can resolve the majority of technical problems. On the other hand, serious problems might strike when local support personnel are too busy or absent, and some problems may be associated with technology that is unfamiliar to your onsite support people. In these situations, Progent's online support experts provide an easy, fast, and economical solution to augment your local help and to pass on useful information to increase your capability to handle downstream issues in-house.
- Less Dependence on Individual Consultants
For IT maintenance, smaller businesses commonly depend on individual freelance consultants. Although freelance consultants have smaller overhead than big support companies and can afford to charge lower rates, they are often overbooked, making it difficult to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If an independent service provider is busy with another customer, sick, on a trip, or in class, the absence of reserve personnel may force your company to go without assistance during an IT crisis. As your company grows, system downtime and trouble with vital applications become more expensive. The money you thought you were conserving on an independent can be consumed quickly by reduced productivity. Progent offers a ready source of reserve support experts to insure your network stays up and running.
- Create a Solid Foundation for Seamless Expansion
Organizations typically start with an information system implemented on a shoestring budget. Without a strong infrastructure, band-aid fixes can get thrown onto a shaky foundation. As a network grows, reliability and expandability problems can impede the success of the business. Such poorly built environments require careful analysis, intelligent strategic planning, and extensive IT expertise to evolve to a system infrastructure that can provide the solid foundation to meet critical business requirements and ease downstream expansion.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Instead of Technology Sellers
Smaller offices need advice and technical training to negotiate an ever more complicated array of technology options capable of accelerating business growth and enhancing efficiency. These companies do not need a computer consultant who is motivated 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 true needs of a business. Progent eliminates these conflicts by offering only services instead of products. This allows Progent to align IT consulting with the real needs of customers.
How Is Progent Different from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting firm and Progent's head count, range of IT expertise, refined remote support software, and familiarity with corporate IT allow offices to escape the limitations associated with excessive reliance on smaller service firms, independent freelance service providers, or over-stretched internal IT help.
Progent stands out by offering:
- Proven Methodology
Progent's staff of Microsoft and Cisco Premier experts average more than a decade of real-world professional background, at the forefront of IT service, executing a broad range of IT tasks for an extensive array of customers. Each Progent support professional shares a refined set of personal best practices which are combined into shared best practices standards that Progent teaches its consulting staff. This guarantees that you get not just expert IT skills, but also a consultant with field-tested approaches for applying technical knowledge to solve actual IT problems rapidly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing model is to bill for remote support and in-person visits by the minute. Consequently, you owe exclusively for received support. Progent does not demand a more expensive rate for after-hours or priority service, and inside California or in regions where Progent offers in-person support, Progent does not charge for travel time except for urgent calls where on-site work is less than four hours. In addition, Progent applies no initialization charge and asks no monthly commitment for support services delivered during normal working hours. Many service organizations demand large minimum fees or charge for each quarter hour or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity does away with large bills for fast solutions so you won't be forced to permit minor problems to fester.
- Complete Records of Delivered Services
Progent has created a sophisticated support reporting system that stores and organizes detailed documentation for all billed support activities. Unlike many independent consultants or small service organizations who offer minimal documentation or specifics of tasks performed, each service provided by Progent is accompanied by comprehensive documentation. Every Progent staff member has access to the support documentation sent by each staff member to every client. The discipline of documenting and organizing support activity results in more effective service and avoids a slew of typical problems such as when a service customer is effectively held hostage to a consultant who won't let go of the keys to the kingdom.
- Remote Network Monitoring with Microsoft Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few consulting firms to provide 24x7 network tracking services based on MS System Center Operations Manager. Microsoft Operations Manager allows your computer maintenance to be proactive rather than reactive. By uncovering possible problems before they cause lost productivity, network monitoring can save your IT network from painful and costly service disruptions.
