Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Businesses in Calgary Alberta
Progent's remote support services enable your Calgary company to enjoy the benefits of timely, expert IT support without the cost of maintaining an in-house IT staff. Your information system will derive added strategic worth by being more available, productive, and protected. Benefits to your company include:
- Convenient virtual extension of your local IT resources
With most organizations in Calgary Alberta, nearby network support providers, whether represented by outside consultants or a full-time maintenance staff, can deal with the majority of technical issues. However, major troubles can spring up when local support personnel are overstretched or absent, and some problems may stem from technology that is unfamiliar to your usual service technicians. In these situations, Progent's online support specialists give you a convenient, quick, and affordable way to supplement your local help and to pass on valuable knowledge to improve your capability to resolve downstream issues locally.
- Reduced Reliance on Individual Service Providers
For IT maintenance, smaller businesses often depend on individual freelance consultants. While independent service people have smaller internal costs than larger service firms and can often charge marginally less, they are often overbooked, making it hard to respond quickly to crisis situations. If an independent consultant is busy with another client, sick, on vacation, or in training, the absence of backup help may require your company to wait for assistance during an IT crisis. As your company expands, network unavailability and problems with vital applications are more costly. The money you thought you were saving on a freelancer can be eaten up fast by lost productivity. Progent offers a ready source of reserve support experts to make sure your network stays available.
- Build a Solid Basis for Smooth Expansion
Organizations typically begin with an information system created on a shoestring budget. Lacking a robust framework, slap-dash repairs often get thrown onto a shaky foundation. As a network grows, reliability and expandability problems can impede the success of the business. Such poorly built environments need proper analysis, intelligent long-term planning, and wide technical expertise to evolve to a system infrastructure that can offer the stable foundation to meet critical business demands and facilitate downstream expansion.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Instead of Technology Vendors
Smaller businesses require guidance and technical education to navigate through an ever more complex array of technology alternatives capable of promoting business success and enhancing productivity. These companies do not need a computer consultant who is attempting to resell a specific vendor's products. IT consulting and product sales can result in a situation where the proposed
solution is built around a predetermined product rather than the genuine needs of a business. Progent eliminates these conflicts of interest by selling just services instead of products. This enables Progent to match IT consulting with the real interests of customers.
What Makes Progent Unique from Other Support Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support firm and Progent's head count, breadth of IT knowledge, fine tuned remote support software, and understanding of enterprise networking allow companies to avoid the pitfalls of excessive dependence on smaller service organizations, individual freelance consultants, or limited in-house IT help.
Progent adds value by providing:
- In-depth Expertise in Microsoft's Full Line of Servers
Progent offers in-depth support for Microsoft's popular server platforms with services such as Microsoft Windows Server 2022 planning and integration expertise, Windows Server 2019 migration consulting, Windows Server 2016 hybrid cloud integration, Windows Server 2012 R2 migration and deployment help, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 expertise, Windows 2003 maintenance, MS Exchange Server 2019 deployment, MS Exchange 2016 Server migration, Exchange Server 2013 configuration, Microsoft Exchange 2010 Server management, Microsoft Exchange 2007 Server and Microsoft Exchange 2003 Server upgrades, plus Microsoft SQL Server 2019 configuration expertise, MS SQL Server 2017 migration, Microsoft SQL Server 2016 integration, Microsoft SQL Server 2014 consulting support, and SQL 2012 management support.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing model is to charge for phone service and in-person visits per minute. Consequently, you owe only for received support. Progent does not demand a higher rate for after-hours or urgent support, and within California or in regions where Progent provides on-site support, Progent does not bill for travel except for urgent calls where on-site time is less than four hours. In addition, Progent imposes no initialization charge and requires no retainer for support services delivered during regular business hours. Many support firms impose substantial minimum fees or charge for each quarter hour or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity avoids big invoices for quick solutions so you will not be forced to permit minor problems to fester.
- Knowledge Transfer
Progent practices knowledge transfer from Progent's consultants to customers. By educating customers to handle technical issues that are within their comfort zone, Progent can focus on offering hard-to-find skills where Progent faces few competitors. Businesses who work with familiar independent service providers or who employ in-house IT personnel benefit when Progent passes on knowledge about new technology and proven methodologies to make their networks more reliable, protected, and efficient.
- Automated Server Monitoring with Microsoft Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few consulting firms to provide round-the-clock system tracking services based on MS Operations Manager. Microsoft Operations Manager allows your network maintenance to be anticipatory rather than reactive. By anticipating potential issues before they result in downtime, system monitoring can keep your IT network from stressful and costly service disruptions.
