Benefits of Progent's Network Help for Offices in Brisbane Queensland
Progent's online network troubleshooting services allow your Brisbane company to enjoy the benefits of immediate, world-class network support without the cost of maintaining a full-time IT organization. Your information system will derive added business worth by being more available, productive, and secure. Benefits to your business include:
- Convenient virtual expansion of your local IT resources
With most businesses in Brisbane Queensland, local computer support resources, whether represented by freelance consultants or an internal IT staff, can take care of the majority of technical issues. However, IT crises can spring up when your regular support personnel are too busy or unavailable, and some problems may be associated with IT products that is beyond the scope of your usual service personnel. In these instances, Progent's online support experts offer a convenient, quick, and budget-friendly way to augment your regular resources and to transfer valuable knowledge to improve your capability to handle downstream problems locally.
- Reduced Reliance on Freelance Service Providers
For network maintenance, smaller companies commonly depend on individual freelance consultants. Although freelance service people carry less overhead than big service companies and can afford to charge lower rates, they are occasionally stretched too thin, making it hard to respond quickly to crisis situations. If an independent service provider is busy with another customer, sick, on a trip, or in training, the absence of reserve personnel may require your company to go without help during an emergency. As your business expands, network downtime and problems with vital applications become more costly. The money you thought you were saving on a freelancer can be consumed fast by reduced productivity. Progent provides a ready source of reserve support expertise to make sure your network stays up and running.
- Build a Solid Foundation for Smooth Growth
Organizations often start with an information architecture created on a shoestring budget. Without a strong infrastructure, slap-dash repairs can get piled on top of an unstable foundation. As a company grows, reliability and scalability problems can hinder the productivity of the organization. These badly designed systems require proper analysis, smart strategic planning, and wide technical expertise to upgrade to a system infrastructure that can offer the stable foundation to handle current business requirements and facilitate future growth.
- Work with Solution Providers Instead of Product Vendors
Smaller companies require guidance and technical education to negotiate an increasingly complex array of technology alternatives available for accelerating business growth and improving efficiency. They do not need a network engineer who is attempting to sell a certain vendor's technology. Network support and product sales can result in a scenario where the proposed
solution is designed around a profitable technology rather than the genuine requirements of a business. Progent eliminates these conflicts by selling just services rather than products. This allows Progent to align technical expertise with the real needs of customers.
What Makes Progent Different from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support company and Progent's staff size, range of IT experience, fine tuned remote support tools, and familiarity with corporate IT enable companies to avoid the limitations associated with excessive dependence on smaller consulting firms, individual freelance service providers, or limited in-house resources.

- Complete Records of Delivered Services
Progent has created a sophisticated service reporting system that stores and formats complete documentation for all delivered support activities. Unlike many freelance consultants or small support firms who offer minimal documentation or specifics of tasks performed, every service delivered by Progent is tracked by full documentation. Every Progent consultant has access to the service reports transmitted by every consultant to every customer. The discipline of detailing and organizing support records allows more efficient service and avoids a slew of common problems such as when a support client is effectively held captive to a consultant who refuses to release vital service information.
- Remote Network Monitoring with MS System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the only IT service companies to provide 24x7 remote monitoring services powered by MS System Center Operations Manager.
