Benefits of Progent's Network Help for Businesses in Buffalo New York
Progent's remote technical help services enable your Buffalo organization to enjoy the benefits of on-call, enterprise-class IT support without the cost of managing an in-house IT organization. Your information system will derive added strategic value by becoming increasingly available, efficient, and protected. Benefits to your company include:
- Convenient remote extension of your on-site support resources
With most offices in Buffalo New York, nearby computer support resources, whether represented by independent consultants or a full-time IT staff, can take care of the majority of technical issues. However, IT crises can spring up when local resources are overstretched or unavailable, and some problems may stem from IT products that is beyond the scope of your onsite support people. In these situations, Progent's online support experts offer an easy, quick, and economical solution to augment your regular help and to pass on useful knowledge to improve your capability to resolve future issues locally.
- Less Dependence on Freelance Consultants
For network maintenance, smaller businesses often rely on independent freelance consultants. Although independent consultants have smaller internal costs than big service organizations and can afford to charge lower rates, they are sometimes overbooked, making it impossible to respond rapidly to crisis situations. If an independent service provider is busy with another customer, sick, on a trip, or in class, the lack of reserve personnel may require your company to wait for assistance during an emergency. As your network expands, system downtime and trouble with vital software become more costly. The money you thought you were saving on an independent can be eaten up fast by lost productivity. Progent provides a dependable source of reserve support experts to make sure your IT system stays available.
- Create a Scalable Basis for Smooth Growth
Businesses often begin with an information architecture implemented on a modest budget. Without a proper infrastructure, slap-dash repairs often get piled on top of an unstable foundation. As a company grows, stability and scalability issues can hinder the productivity of the organization. Such badly built systems require careful analysis, intelligent long-term planning, and wide technical expertise to upgrade to a network architecture that can offer the stable foundation to meet vital business requirements and ease downstream growth.
- Work with Problem Solvers Instead of Technology Vendors
Smaller organizations require guidance and technical education to navigate through an ever more complex maze of product options capable of promoting business success and improving efficiency. These companies do not need a computer engineer who is motivated to resell a specific vendor's technology. Network support and product sales can lead to a situation where the recommended
solution is built around a predetermined technology rather than the genuine requirements of a business. Progent avoids these conflicts by selling only services instead of products. This allows Progent to match technical consulting with the best interests of customers.
What Makes Progent Unique from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support firm and Progent's head count, range of IT expertise, refined support software, and familiarity with corporate IT allow companies to avoid the pitfalls associated with excessive dependence on smaller consulting firms, independent freelance service providers, or limited in-house resources.

Unlike some freelance consultants or small service organizations who provide scant documentation or details of services done, each service delivered by Progent is tracked by full documentation. Each Progent staff member has use of the service documentation sent by each consultant to each client. The practice of detailing and archiving service activity allows more effective support and avoids a variety of common problems such as when a support client is virtually held captive to a consultant who refuses to release the keys to the kingdom.
