Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Organizations in Carlsbad California
Progent's online support services allow your Carlsbad business to have the benefits of immediate, enterprise-class network support without the cost of managing a full-time IT organization. Your network will derive added strategic worth by being more reliable, productive, and protected. Advantages to your business include:
- Convenient virtual expansion of your local IT resources
For most organizations in Carlsbad California, local computer support providers, whether consisting of independent consultants or an internal IT staff, can take care of the majority of network issues. However, IT crises may strike when your regular support personnel are overstretched or absent, and some trouble may be associated with technology that is beyond the scope of your onsite support people. In these situations, Progent's on-call service experts give you a convenient, fast, and affordable way to supplement your local resources and to transfer useful information to increase your ability to handle future issues locally.
- Reduced Reliance on Individual Service Providers
For IT support, smaller companies commonly rely on individual freelance service providers. While freelance consultants have less internal costs than larger service organizations and can afford to charge lower rates, they are often overbooked, making it difficult to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If a freelance service provider is occupied with another client, ill, on a trip, or in class, the lack of fallback personnel may require your company to wait for assistance during an emergency. As your network grows, system unavailability and trouble with vital applications are more expensive. The money you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be consumed quickly by lost productivity. Progent offers a dependable source of reserve service experts to insure your network stays up and running.
- Build a Solid Foundation for Seamless Growth
Businesses often start with an IT architecture created on a shoestring budget. Lacking a strong framework, slap-dash repairs can get piled on top of a shaky foundation. As a network grows, stability and scalability issues can impede the success of the organization. These badly built systems need careful analysis, smart strategic planning, and extensive technical expertise to evolve to a network infrastructure able to offer the stable foundation to handle vital business requirements and facilitate downstream expansion.
- Work with Solution Providers Rather Than Technology Vendors
Smaller organizations need advice and technical training to negotiate an increasingly complicated array of technology alternatives capable of promoting business success and improving efficiency. These companies hardly need a network engineer who is motivated to sell a specific vendor's technology. IT support and product sales can lead to a situation where the proposed
solution is built around a profitable technology rather than the true requirements of a client. Progent avoids these conflicts by selling just services instead of products. This enables Progent to align technical expertise with the real interests of customers.
What Makes Progent Different from Other Support Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner consulting firm and Progent's staff size, breadth of IT experience, refined support tools, and understanding of corporate IT allow companies to escape the pitfalls associated with exclusive reliance on smaller service firms, independent freelance service providers, or limited in-house resources.
Progent adds value by offering:
- Best Practices
Progent’s staff of Microsoft and Cisco Premier Certified consultants average longer than a decade of real-world professional background, in the trenches of IT service, performing a broad variety of technical projects for an extensive mix of clients. Each Progent consultant shares a refined set of personal best practices which are incorporated into shared best practices standards that Progent instills in its consulting team. This means that you get not only world-class IT skills, but also a support engineer with field-tested methods for applying computer knowledge to resolve actual IT problems quickly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to bill for phone support and in-person help per minute. As a result, you pay only for delivered support. Progent does not demand a more expensive rate for after-hours or urgent support, and inside California or in regions where Progent provides on-site service, Progent does not bill for travel time except for urgent calls where on-site time is less than four hours. Also, Progent imposes no minimum charge and requires no monthly commitment for services delivered during normal working hours. Many service organizations impose large minimum payments or charge for every fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity does away with large bills for quick fixes so you will not be tempted to permit less critical problems to stay unaddressed.
- Full Records of IT Services
Progent has developed a comprehensive service reporting system that records and formats complete documentation for all billed support activities. Unlike many independent consultants or small support organizations who offer scant documentation or details of services performed, every service provided by Progent is accompanied by full documentation. Each Progent consultant has access to the service documentation sent by each consultant to each client. The discipline of documenting and organizing support activity allows more efficient support and eliminates a slew of common misfortunes such as when a service client is virtually held captive to a consultant who won’t release vital service information.
- Remote Server Monitoring with MS System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the only support companies to offer 24x7 remote monitoring services powered by Microsoft Operations Manager. Microsoft System Center Operations Manager causes your computer maintenance to be proactive instead of reactive. By revealing potential issues before they cause downtime, network monitoring can keep your IT network from stressful and costly service losses.
