Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Offices in Calgary Alberta
Progent's online network troubleshooting services enable your Calgary business to realize the advantages of timely, world-class IT support without the cost of maintaining an in-house IT staff. Your information system will derive greater strategic worth by being increasingly available, efficient, and secure. Advantages to your business include:
- Seamless virtual extension of your local IT resources
For most businesses in Calgary Alberta, local computer service resources, whether represented by freelance consultants or an internal maintenance staff, can solve the majority of network issues. However, serious problems may spring up when your regular resources are too busy or absent, and some problems may stem from IT products that is unfamiliar to your onsite support people. In these cases, Progent's on-call support specialists give you an easy, quick, and affordable way to supplement your regular help and to pass on valuable information to increase your capability to resolve downstream problems in-house.
- Reduced Dependence on Individual Service Providers
For network support, smaller businesses often rely on individual freelance service providers. While independent consultants carry less overhead than larger service companies and can often charge lower rates, they are occasionally overbooked, making it impossible to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If an independent consultant is occupied with another client, ill, on a trip, or in class, the absence of backup help may require your business to go without assistance during an IT crisis. As your company grows, system downtime and problems with critical software become more expensive. The budget you thought you were saving on an independent can be eaten up quickly by lost productivity. Progent offers an on-call source of reserve service expertise to make sure your network remains available.
- Build a Scalable Basis for Smooth Growth
Organizations typically start with an information architecture created on a shoestring budget. Without a scalable infrastructure, slap-dash repairs can get piled onto an unstable foundation. When a network grows, reliability and scalability problems can impede the productivity of the organization. Such poorly designed systems need proper analysis, smart long-term planning, and wide technical expertise to upgrade to a network architecture able to offer the solid foundation to handle critical business requirements and simplify future expansion.
- Interact with Solution Providers Rather Than Technology Sellers
Smaller companies need advice and technical training to navigate through an ever more complicated array of product alternatives available for promoting business growth and enhancing efficiency. These companies do not need a computer consultant who is motivated to resell a certain vendor's technology. IT consulting and product sales can result in a scenario where the recommended
solution is designed around a predetermined product rather than the true requirements of a business. Progent eliminates these conflicts of interest by offering just services instead of products. This allows Progent to match IT expertise with the best needs of clients.
What Makes Progent Different from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support firm and Progent's staff size, breadth of IT expertise, refined remote support tools, and understanding of enterprise networking allow offices to escape the pitfalls of excessive dependence on smaller consulting firms, independent freelance consultants, or limited in-house resources.

- Full Records of Delivered Services

Unlike some freelance consultants or local service organizations who offer scant documentation or specifics of services done, each service provided by Progent is accompanied by full documentation. Every Progent consultant has use of the support documentation transmitted by each consultant to every customer. The discipline of documenting and archiving support activity allows more efficient support and avoids a variety of typical misfortunes such as when a service client is virtually held captive to a consultant who won't let go of the keys to the kingdom.
- Remote Network Monitoring with Microsoft Operations Manager
Progent is one of the only IT service companies to provide 24x7 network tracking services powered by MS System Center Operations Manager.
