Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Offices in Boise Idaho
Progent's remote IT consulting services allow your Boise organization to realize the advantages of timely, enterprise-class IT support without the expense of maintaining an in-house IT staff. Your network will acquire greater strategic worth by becoming increasingly available, efficient, and protected. Advantages to your company include:
- Convenient virtual expansion of your local IT resources
For most companies in Boise Idaho, local computer support resources, whether represented by outside consultants or a full-time IT staff, can solve the majority of technical problems. On the other hand, serious problems might spring up when local resources are too busy or unavailable, and some trouble may involve technology that is unfamiliar to your onsite support people. In these cases, Progent's online service experts give you a convenient, fast, and economical way to supplement your local help and to convey valuable information to improve your capability to deal with downstream problems locally.
- Less Dependence on Freelance Consultants
For network maintenance, smaller businesses commonly rely on individual freelance service providers. While independent service people carry less overhead than larger consulting organizations and can afford to charge lower rates, they are occasionally overextended, making it difficult to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If an independent service provider is occupied with another client, ill, on vacation, or in class, the lack of fallback personnel may force your business to wait for assistance during an emergency. As your business grows, system downtime and trouble with vital software become more expensive. The money you thought you were conserving on an independent can be consumed fast by lost productivity. Progent provides a reliable source of backup service experts to make sure your network is always up and running.
- Build a Scalable Basis for Seamless Growth
Organizations typically begin with an information system implemented on a modest budget. Without a scalable infrastructure, slap-dash fixes can get piled onto an unstable foundation. As a network grows, stability and expandability issues can impede the success of the business. These poorly designed systems need proper assessment, intelligent strategic planning, and wide technical expertise to upgrade to a network infrastructure able to offer the stable foundation to meet current business requirements and simplify downstream growth.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Rather Than Product Vendors
Smaller offices require guidance and technical training to negotiate an increasingly complex array of product options available for accelerating business success and enhancing productivity. These companies hardly need a computer engineer who is trying to earn a commission on a specific vendor's technology. IT consulting and product sales can result in a scenario where the proposed
solution is designed around a profitable technology instead of the genuine needs of a client. Progent avoids these conflicts of interest by offering only services instead of products. This enables Progent to match IT consulting with the best needs of customers.
How Is Progent Unique from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support firm and Progent's head count, depth of IT knowledge, fine tuned remote support tools, and understanding of corporate IT allow businesses to escape the limitations associated with exclusive dependence on smaller consulting organizations, individual freelance service providers, or over-stretched internal resources.
Progent adds value by providing:
- Best Practices
Progent's team of Microsoft and Cisco Premier consultants average longer than ten years of real-world professional experience, at the front lines of network service, executing a broad range of IT projects for an extensive array of businesses. Every Progent support professional shares a refined set of personal best practices which are combined into company-wide leading practices standards that Progent teaches its consulting personnel. This ensures that you get not only world-class IT capability, but also a support engineer with proven methods for using technical knowledge to resolve real-world IT problems efficiently.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to charge for phone support and on-premises visits per minute. As a result, you are invoiced just for received support. Progent does not impose a more expensive rate for after-hours or urgent service, and inside California or in areas where Progent offers on-premises support, Progent does not charge for travel except for emergency calls where on-site work is less than four hours. In addition, Progent imposes no minimum charge and asks no monthly commitment for services delivered during regular working hours. Many support organizations demand substantial minimum payments or charge for each quarter hour or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity eliminates large invoices for fast solutions so you won't be forced to permit simple problems to stay unaddressed.
- Complete Documentation of Delivered Services
Progent has developed a sophisticated service reporting system that records and organizes detailed documentation for all billed services. Unlike some independent consultants or small support firms who provide scant documentation or details of tasks done, each service delivered by Progent is accompanied by full documentation. Every Progent staff member has access to the support reports transmitted by each consultant to each customer. The practice of documenting and organizing service activity allows more efficient service and eliminates a slew of typical misfortunes such as when a support client is effectively held hostage to a consultant who won't let go of the keys to the kingdom.
- Remote Server Monitoring with Microsoft Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few consulting firms to offer 24x7 system monitoring services based on MS System Center Operations Manager. Microsoft System Center Operations Manager allows your network maintenance to be anticipatory rather than reactive. By anticipating potential problems before they result in downtime, system monitoring can save your information network from stressful and costly service disruptions.
