Benefits of Progent's IT Support for Offices in Boise Idaho
Progent's online network troubleshooting services allow your Boise business to experience the advantages of on-call, enterprise-grade IT support without the cost of maintaining a full-time IT organization. Your network will acquire greater business value by being increasingly reliable, productive, and secure. Benefits to your business include:
- Seamless remote extension of your local support resources
With most companies in Boise Idaho, local computer service resources, whether made up of independent consultants or an in-house IT staff, can deal with typical network issues. However, major troubles might strike when local resources are too busy or absent, and some problems may involve technology that is unfamiliar to your onsite support personnel. In these situations, Progent's online service specialists give you an easy, quick, and affordable solution to augment your local help and to transfer useful information to improve your capability to handle future issues in-house.
- Reduced Reliance on Individual Consultants
For network support, smaller companies often rely on individual freelance consultants. Although freelance consultants have smaller internal costs than larger service companies and can often charge marginally less, they are sometimes overextended, making it hard to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If an independent service provider is occupied with another client, sick, on a trip, or in training, the absence of backup help may force your company to wait for assistance during an emergency. As your network grows, network downtime and problems with vital software become more expensive. The money you thought you were conserving on an independent can be consumed fast by reduced productivity. Progent provides a dependable source of reserve support experts to insure your IT system is always available.
- Create a Scalable Basis for Smooth Growth
Companies typically start with an IT system implemented on a modest budget. Lacking a proper framework, band-aid repairs can get thrown onto a shaky foundation. As a network grows, reliability and expandability issues can impede the success of the business. Such poorly designed environments require proper assessment, intelligent long-term planning, and extensive technical expertise to upgrade to a system infrastructure that can deliver the stable foundation to handle current business requirements and simplify downstream growth.
- Work with Solution Providers Instead of Technology Resellers
Smaller businesses require guidance and technical education to negotiate an increasingly complicated maze of product alternatives capable of promoting business growth and enhancing efficiency. These companies hardly need a computer engineer who is attempting to sell a specific vendor's products. Network support and product sales can result in a scenario where the proposed
solution is built around a profitable product instead of the genuine needs of a business. Progent avoids these conflicts by offering only services instead of products. This allows Progent to align IT consulting with the best needs of customers.
How Is Progent Different from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support company and Progent's staff size, breadth of IT knowledge, fine tuned support software, and understanding of corporate IT enable companies to avoid the pitfalls of exclusive dependence on smaller consulting organizations, independent freelance service providers, or over-stretched internal resources.
Progent adds value by providing:
- Best Practices
Progent's staff of Microsoft and Cisco Premier experts average more than a decade of real-world professional background, in the trenches of network support, performing a wide range of technical projects for a large array of clients. Every Progent consultant shares a proven set of personal best practices which are incorporated into shared leading practices training that Progent instills in its consulting team. This means that you get not only world-class technical capability, but also a support engineer with proven approaches for using technical knowledge to repair real-world IT problems efficiently.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to bill for remote service and on-site help per minute. Consequently, you owe only for received support. Progent does not impose a more expensive rate for after-hours or emergency service, and inside California or in areas where Progent offers in-person service, Progent does not charge for travel except for urgent support where on-site time is less than four hours. In addition, Progent imposes no initialization charge and requires no monthly commitment for services provided during normal business hours. Many service firms demand large minimum fees or charge for every quarter hour or longer. Progent's fine granularity avoids big invoices for quick repairs so you will not be tempted to allow minor problems to stay unaddressed.
- Information Transfer
Progent practices knowledge transfer from Progent's support experts to customers. By educating clients to resolve technical issues that are within their comfort zone, Progent is able to concentrate on delivering high-value skills where Progent has little competition. Companies who utilize trusted freelance consultants or who employ in-house support staffs benefit when Progent transfers knowledge about new technology and proven methodologies to make their IT environments more robust, secure, and productive.
