Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Offices in Cabo Frio Rio de Janeiro
Progent's remote IT consulting services enable your Cabo Frio business to have the advantages of on-call, enterprise-grade network support without the cost of maintaining an in-house IT staff. Your information system will derive greater business value by becoming increasingly available, efficient, and secure. Advantages to your business include:
- Convenient virtual extension of your on-site IT resources
For most businesses in Cabo Frio Rio de Janeiro, nearby computer service resources, whether consisting of outside consultants or a full-time maintenance staff, can handle the majority of technical issues. However, major troubles sometimes strike 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 support professionals provide an easy, quick, and economical solution to augment your local resources and to transfer useful information to improve your ability to resolve future problems locally.
- Reduced Dependence on Freelance Consultants
For IT maintenance, smaller companies often depend on individual freelance consultants. Although freelance consultants have smaller overhead than larger consulting firms and can afford to charge marginally less, they are often overbooked, making it impossible to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If a freelance service provider is occupied with another customer, sick, on a trip, or in training, the absence of fallback personnel may force your business to wait for help during an IT crisis. As your business grows, network unavailability and problems with critical applications are more expensive. The budget you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be eaten up quickly by lost productivity. Progent provides an on-call source of reserve service experts to insure your network is always up and running.
- Create a Solid Basis for Smooth Growth
Companies often begin with an information system created on a shoestring budget. Lacking a proper infrastructure, slap-dash repairs can get thrown onto an unstable foundation. As a network grows, reliability and scalability problems can hinder the success of the organization. Such badly built systems need proper analysis, smart long-term planning, and extensive technical expertise to upgrade to a system infrastructure that can deliver the solid foundation to handle current business demands and ease downstream growth.
- Work with Problem Solvers Instead of Technology Resellers
Smaller businesses need guidance and technical education to negotiate an ever more complicated array of technology alternatives available for accelerating business success and enhancing productivity. These companies do not need a network consultant who is attempting to earn a commission on a specific vendor's products. IT consulting and product sales can lead to a situation where the proposed
solution is designed around a profitable product instead of the genuine requirements of a business. Progent eliminates these conflicts of interest by offering just services instead of products. This enables Progent to align technical consulting with the best interests of customers.
How Is Progent Different from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner consulting firm and Progent's head count, breadth of technical background, refined remote support tools, and familiarity with enterprise networking enable offices to avoid the limitations of exclusive dependence on smaller service firms, individual freelance service providers, or over-stretched internal resources.
Progent adds value by providing:
- Proven Methodology

This guarantees that you get not only world-class IT capability, but also a support engineer with field-tested methods for using computer knowledge to repair real-world IT problems quickly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing model is to charge for online support and on-site visits per minute. Consequently, you are invoiced exclusively for delivered support. Progent does not impose a more expensive rate for off-hours or emergency service, and inside California or in regions where Progent offers on-premises service, Progent does not bill for travel time except for emergency calls where on-site time is less than four hours. Also, Progent applies no startup fee and requires no retainer for support services delivered during regular business hours. Many support firms impose large minimum fees or charge for every quarter hour or longer. Progent's fine granularity avoids big bills for quick repairs so you will not be tempted to permit minor problems to fester.
- Information Transfer
Progent practices knowledge transfer from Progent's consultants to clients. By teaching customers to handle technical issues that are within their comfort zone, Progent is able to focus on offering hard-to-find skills where Progent faces few competitors. Companies who work with trusted freelance consultants or who employ in-house IT staffs benefit when Progent transfers information about new technology and tested methodologies to make their IT environments more reliable, secure, and productive.
