Benefits of Progent's Network Help for Businesses in Cambridge United Kingdom
Progent's online IT consulting services enable your Cambridge organization to experience the benefits of on-call, world-class network support without the expense of maintaining a full-time IT staff. Your network will acquire greater business value by becoming increasingly reliable, productive, and secure. Advantages to your company include:
- Seamless remote extension of your on-site IT resources
For most businesses in Cambridge United Kingdom, local computer service resources, whether made up of independent consultants or an in-house IT staff, can take care of the majority of technical issues. However, serious problems can occur when local resources are too busy or absent, and some problems may stem from IT products that is unfamiliar to your onsite service personnel. In these instances, Progent's online support professionals give you an easy, fast, and affordable way to augment your regular help and to transfer valuable knowledge to increase your capability to resolve downstream issues in-house.
- Less Dependence on Individual Consultants
For IT maintenance, smaller businesses commonly rely on independent freelance service providers. While freelance consultants carry smaller overhead than big support firms and can afford to charge marginally less, they are occasionally stretched too thin, making it difficult to respond rapidly to crisis situations. If an independent consultant is busy with another customer, ill, on a trip, or in training, the lack of reserve personnel may require your company to wait for assistance during an emergency. As your business grows, network unavailability and trouble with vital applications are more expensive. The money you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be eaten up quickly by reduced productivity. Progent offers an on-call source of backup service experts to make sure your network stays available.
- Build a Solid Foundation for Seamless Growth
Companies typically start with an IT architecture created on a shoestring budget. Without a scalable infrastructure, band-aid repairs can get thrown on top of an unstable foundation. When a network grows, reliability and scalability problems can hinder the productivity of the organization. These badly designed systems require careful analysis, intelligent strategic planning, and wide IT expertise to upgrade to a system infrastructure that can provide the solid foundation to handle critical business demands and simplify future growth.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Rather Than Product Sellers
Smaller organizations need guidance and technical education to negotiate an increasingly complex array of product options available for promoting business success and improving efficiency. These companies hardly need a network engineer who is motivated to sell a specific vendor's technology. IT consulting and product sales can lead to a scenario where the recommended
solution is built around a predetermined product rather than the genuine requirements of a business. Progent eliminates these conflicts of interest by selling only services instead of products. This enables Progent to match IT consulting with the best interests of clients.
What Makes Progent Different from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner support company and Progent's number of employees, depth of IT knowledge, fine tuned support tools, and understanding of enterprise networking enable companies to avoid the pitfalls associated with exclusive reliance on smaller consulting firms, independent freelance consultants, or over-stretched internal IT help.
Progent adds value by offering:
- Proven Methodology
Progent's team of Microsoft and Cisco Certified experts average more than ten years of hands-on industry background, at the forefront of IT support, performing a wide variety of IT projects for a large array of businesses. Every Progent consultant shares a refined set of personal best practices which are incorporated into shared leading practices standards that Progent instills in its consulting staff. This means that you get not just expert technical help, but also a support engineer with field-tested approaches for applying computer knowledge to repair real-world network problems efficiently.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing model is to bill for phone support and on-site help per minute. Consequently, you pay only for delivered support. Progent does not impose a higher rate for after-hours or emergency service, and inside California or in areas where Progent provides in-person service, Progent does not bill for travel time except for emergency support where on-site work is less than 4 hours. Also, Progent applies no service activation charge and asks no retainer for support services provided during regular business hours. Many service organizations impose substantial minimum payments or charge for every quarter hour or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity avoids big bills for fast repairs so you won't be tempted to allow less critical problems to fester.
- Knowledge Transfer
Progent practices knowledge transfer from Progent's support experts to customers. By teaching clients to handle problems that are within their comfort zone, Progent can concentrate on delivering hard-to-find services where Progent has little competition. Businesses who utilize trusted independent consultants or who employ in-house IT staffs benefit when Progent transfers information about new technology and tested processes to make their networks more robust, protected, and productive.
- 24x7 Server Monitoring with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few IT service firms to offer round-the-clock system tracking services powered by Microsoft System Center Operations Manager.
