Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Businesses in Calgary Alberta
Progent's remote IT consulting services allow your Calgary organization to realize the benefits of on-call, world-class IT support without the expense of managing an in-house IT organization. Your information system will acquire added business worth by becoming more available, efficient, and secure. Advantages to your company include:
- Convenient remote extension of your on-site IT resources
With most offices in Calgary Alberta, nearby network service resources, whether represented by freelance consultants or a full-time IT staff, can deal with typical technical problems. On the other hand, serious problems sometimes occur when local support personnel are too busy or unavailable, and some trouble may stem from IT products that is beyond the scope of your onsite support technicians. In these instances, Progent's online support specialists give you an easy, fast, and affordable solution to augment your regular resources and to transfer valuable information to increase your ability to resolve future issues in-house.
- Less Dependence on Freelance Consultants
For IT maintenance, smaller businesses commonly rely on individual freelance consultants. Although independent consultants carry smaller overhead than big service organizations and can afford to charge marginally less, they are sometimes stretched too thin, making it impossible to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If a freelance consultant is busy with another customer, ill, on vacation, or in class, the absence of backup personnel may require your company to wait for assistance during an emergency. As your business grows, network downtime and problems with vital software are more costly. The money you thought you were conserving on an independent can be consumed fast by reduced productivity. Progent offers an on-call source of reserve service experts to insure your IT system stays up and running.
- Create a Scalable Foundation for Seamless Expansion
Businesses often start with an information architecture created on a shoestring budget. Lacking a proper infrastructure, slap-dash fixes can get thrown on top of an unstable foundation. As a company grows, stability and scalability issues can hinder the productivity of the organization. Such poorly designed environments require careful assessment, intelligent strategic planning, and extensive IT expertise to upgrade to a system architecture that can offer the stable foundation to handle current business requirements and simplify future growth.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Rather Than Technology Sellers
Smaller offices require guidance and technical education to navigate through an increasingly complex maze of product options capable of accelerating business growth and improving efficiency. These companies do not need a network consultant who is motivated to sell a certain vendor's technology. IT support and product selling can result in a situation where the proposed
solution is designed around a profitable product instead of the true requirements of a client. Progent eliminates these conflicts of interest by selling just services rather than products. This allows Progent to align IT expertise with the best interests of clients.
What Makes Progent Different from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner consulting company and Progent's staff size, depth of technical knowledge, fine tuned support tools, and understanding of corporate IT allow companies to escape the pitfalls associated with exclusive reliance on smaller service firms, independent freelance consultants, or over-stretched in-house resources.

This guarantees that you get not only world-class IT skills, but also a consultant with proven approaches for using technical knowledge to repair actual IT problems rapidly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to bill for phone support and in-person visits per minute. As a result, you pay exclusively for received support.

Also, Progent imposes no service activation fee and asks no retainer for services provided during normal working hours.

Businesses who utilize trusted freelance consultants or who maintain in-house support staffs benefit when Progent passes on knowledge about new technology and tested methodologies to make their IT environments more robust, secure, and productive.
