Benefits of Progent's Network Help for Organizations in Brighton United Kingdom
Progent's remote technical help services enable your Brighton company to realize the advantages of on-call, enterprise-grade IT support without the cost of managing an in-house IT staff. Your network will derive greater business value by becoming increasingly reliable, efficient, and secure. Advantages to your business include:
- Seamless virtual expansion of your local IT resources
With most companies in Brighton United Kingdom, nearby computer service providers, whether made up of independent consultants or a full-time maintenance staff, can take care of typical network issues. However, serious problems can spring up when local resources are overstretched or absent, and some trouble may stem from technology that is beyond the scope of your local support technicians. In these situations, Progent's online service specialists offer a convenient, quick, and affordable way to augment your local resources and to pass on useful knowledge to improve your ability to deal with future problems locally.
- Reduced Dependence on Freelance Service Providers
For IT support, smaller organizations often rely on independent freelance service providers. While independent service people have less overhead than big consulting companies and can afford to charge lower rates, they are sometimes overbooked, making it impossible to respond rapidly to crisis situations. If an independent consultant is busy with another client, ill, on vacation, or in training, the absence of backup help may force your company to go without assistance during an emergency. As your company grows, network downtime and trouble with vital applications become more costly. The money you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be consumed fast by lost productivity. Progent offers a reliable source of backup service expertise to insure your IT system remains up and running.
- Create a Scalable Basis for Seamless Growth
Companies often begin with an IT system created on a shoestring budget. Without a scalable infrastructure, slap-dash fixes can get piled on top of a weak foundation. When a network grows, stability and scalability issues can hinder the productivity of the business. Such badly designed environments need careful assessment, intelligent long-term planning, and wide IT expertise to evolve to a system architecture able to provide the solid foundation to meet vital business requirements and facilitate future growth.
- Work with Solution Providers Rather Than Technology Resellers
Smaller businesses require guidance and technical training to negotiate an ever more complicated array of technology alternatives available for promoting business growth and improving productivity. They do not need a network engineer who is motivated to earn a commission on a certain vendor's products. Network consulting and product sales can lead to a situation where the proposed
solution is designed around a predetermined technology rather than the genuine needs of a client. Progent eliminates these conflicts by selling only services instead of products. This allows Progent to match technical expertise with the best needs of clients.
How Is Progent Different from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support company and Progent's number of employees, range of technical knowledge, refined remote support software, and understanding of corporate IT allow offices to escape the pitfalls of exclusive reliance on smaller service firms, independent freelance consultants, or limited internal IT help.
Progent stands out by providing:
- Best Practices
Progent's staff of Microsoft and Cisco Certified consultants average more than a decade of real-world professional experience, at the forefront of IT support, executing a broad variety of IT projects for an extensive mix of clients. Every Progent consultant shares a refined set of personal best practices which are combined into company-wide best practices standards that Progent teaches its consulting staff. This guarantees that you get not only expert IT help, but also a support engineer with field-tested methods for applying computer knowledge to solve real-world network problems quickly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to charge for remote support and in-person help per minute. Consequently, you owe exclusively for received services. Progent does not demand a more expensive rate for off-hours or emergency service, and inside California or in regions where Progent offers in-person support, Progent does not charge for travel time except for emergency calls where on-site work is less than four hours. Also, Progent applies no initialization fee and requires no monthly commitment for services provided during normal business hours. Many support organizations demand substantial minimum fees or charge for every fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's fine granularity eliminates big invoices for fast fixes so you won't be forced to allow simple problems to fester.
- Complete Documentation of Delivered Services
Progent has created a comprehensive support reporting system that stores and organizes detailed documentation for all billed support activities. Unlike some freelance consultants or small support organizations who provide minimal documentation or details of tasks done, each service provided by Progent is accompanied by comprehensive documentation. Every Progent staff member has use of the support documentation transmitted by every staff member to every customer. The discipline of detailing and archiving support activity results in more efficient support and avoids a slew of typical problems such as when a support customer is virtually held captive to a consultant who refuses to let go of the keys to the kingdom.
- 24x7 Server Monitoring with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the only consulting firms to provide round-the-clock network monitoring services based on MS System Center Operations Manager. Microsoft System Center Operations Manager allows your computer support to be proactive rather than reactive. By uncovering potential issues before they result in downtime, network monitoring can keep your information network from painful and expensive service disruptions.
