Benefits of Progent's Network Help for Businesses in Birmingham Alabama
Progent's online support services enable your Birmingham organization to realize the advantages of immediate, world-class IT support without the expense of managing a full-time IT staff. Your information system will derive greater business worth by becoming more available, efficient, and secure. Advantages to your company include:
- Convenient virtual expansion of your on-site support resources
With most companies in Birmingham Alabama, local network service providers, whether consisting of outside consultants or an in-house maintenance staff, can take care of typical technical problems. However, serious problems may strike when local support personnel are too busy or unavailable, and some trouble may involve technology that is beyond the scope of your usual support people. In these instances, Progent's online service experts give you an easy, fast, and budget-friendly solution to supplement your regular resources and to transfer useful information to increase your ability to deal with downstream problems in-house.
- Reduced Reliance on Freelance Service Providers
For IT maintenance, smaller companies often rely on independent freelance consultants. Although freelance consultants carry less internal costs than larger consulting firms and can afford to charge marginally less, they are occasionally overextended, making it hard to respond quickly to urgent situations. If a freelance consultant is occupied with another client, sick, on a trip, or in training, the lack of backup personnel may require your business to wait for help during an IT crisis. As your network expands, system downtime and trouble with critical software are more costly. The money you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be consumed fast by reduced productivity. Progent provides a dependable source of backup support expertise to insure your IT system remains available.
- Build a Scalable Foundation for Smooth Expansion
Businesses often start with an information architecture implemented on a shoestring budget. Lacking a robust infrastructure, slap-dash fixes often get piled on top of an unstable foundation. As a company grows, reliability and expandability problems can impede the productivity of the organization. Such poorly built systems require proper assessment, intelligent strategic planning, and broad-based technical knowledge to upgrade to a network infrastructure able to offer the stable foundation to handle critical business requirements and simplify future growth.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Rather Than Technology Resellers
Smaller companies require guidance and technical education to negotiate an increasingly complicated maze of product options available for accelerating business success and improving productivity. They hardly need a computer engineer who is motivated to resell a specific vendor's technology. IT consulting and product sales can lead to a situation where the proposed
solution is designed around a predetermined technology rather than the genuine requirements of a client. Progent avoids these conflicts of interest by offering just services rather than products. This allows Progent to match technical consulting with the best needs of customers.
How Is Progent Unique from Other Support Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting company and Progent's staff size, depth of technical expertise, refined remote support tools, and familiarity with enterprise networking enable offices to escape the limitations associated with exclusive reliance on smaller consulting organizations, independent freelance consultants, or over-stretched in-house resources.
Progent adds value by offering:
- Best Practices
Progent’s team of Microsoft and Cisco Premier Certified experts average longer than a decade of real-world professional experience, in the trenches of network service, performing a wide variety of IT projects for an extensive array of customers.

This ensures that you get not only expert IT help, but also a consultant with field-tested approaches for applying technical knowledge to repair actual IT problems quickly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to charge for phone service and in-person visits by the minute. Consequently, you owe exclusively for received support. Progent does not demand a higher rate for after-hours or priority service, and inside California or in areas where Progent offers on-site support, Progent does not charge for travel time except for emergency support where on-site work is less than four hours. Also, Progent applies no initialization fee and asks no retainer for services provided during regular working hours. Many service firms demand large minimum fees or charge for each fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity avoids large invoices for quick solutions so you won't be tempted to permit less critical problems to stay unaddressed.
- Information Transfer
Progent is committed to knowledge transfer from Progent's consultants to clients. By teaching clients to handle technical issues that are within their scope, Progent is able to focus on providing hard-to-find services where Progent has few competitors. Businesses who work with trusted independent service providers or who employ in-house IT personnel benefit when Progent passes on knowledge about critical technology and proven processes to make their IT environments more reliable, secure, and productive.
