Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Offices in Carlsbad California
Progent's online technical help services allow your Carlsbad organization to have the benefits of timely, enterprise-grade network support without the expense of managing a full-time IT staff. Your information system will derive greater strategic worth by being increasingly reliable, productive, and secure. Advantages to your business include:
- Seamless remote expansion of your local support resources
For most companies in Carlsbad California, nearby computer support resources, whether made up of outside consultants or an internal maintenance staff, can handle the majority of network issues. On the other hand, major troubles can spring up when local support personnel are overstretched or unavailable, and some problems may be associated with technology that is beyond the scope of your usual service technicians. In these cases, Progent's online support specialists give you an easy, fast, and affordable solution to augment your local help and to pass on useful knowledge to increase your capability to handle future problems in-house.
- Reduced Dependence on Freelance Service Providers
For network support, smaller organizations commonly depend on individual freelance service providers. Although independent consultants have less internal costs than big consulting firms and can afford to charge marginally less, they are occasionally overextended, making it impossible to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If a freelance service provider is busy with another client, ill, on a trip, or in class, the absence of backup help may force your company to wait for help during an emergency. As your business grows, system downtime and problems with vital applications are more costly. The budget you thought you were conserving on an independent can be eaten up quickly by lost productivity. Progent provides a ready source of reserve service experts to insure your network is always up and running.
- Create a Scalable Basis for Smooth Expansion
Businesses often start with an IT system implemented on a modest budget. Lacking a proper framework, band-aid repairs often get piled on top of a weak foundation. As a company grows, stability and expandability issues can hinder the productivity of the organization. Such badly built environments require careful assessment, smart long-term planning, and wide technical expertise to evolve to a network architecture that can offer the solid foundation to handle critical business requirements and simplify future expansion.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Instead of Technology Sellers
Smaller companies require advice and technical training to negotiate an ever more complex maze of technology options available for accelerating business growth and improving efficiency. These companies do not need a computer engineer who is motivated to earn a commission on a certain vendor's technology. IT consulting and product sales can lead to a scenario where the recommended
solution is designed around a profitable technology instead of the genuine requirements of a client. Progent avoids these dilemmas by selling just services instead of products. This enables Progent to match technical consulting with the best needs of customers.
What Makes Progent Unique from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support firm and Progent's number of employees, range of technical knowledge, refined remote support software, and understanding of corporate IT enable offices to avoid the limitations of exclusive reliance on smaller service firms, independent freelance consultants, or limited in-house resources.
Progent stands out by providing:
- Best Practices
Progent's staff of Microsoft and Cisco Premier experts average more than a decade of real-world industry background, in the trenches of IT support, performing a broad variety of technical tasks for an extensive array of customers.

This means that you get not only expert IT capability, but also a support engineer with proven approaches for applying technical knowledge to resolve actual network problems rapidly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to charge for online service and on-site visits by the minute. Consequently, you owe exclusively for delivered services. Progent does not impose a higher rate for off-hours or emergency service, and within California or in areas where Progent provides on-premises support, Progent does not charge for travel time except for urgent support where on-site work is less than 4 hours. Also, Progent applies no initialization charge and requires no monthly commitment for support services delivered during regular business hours. Many service organizations impose substantial minimum payments or charge for each quarter hour or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity does away with large invoices for fast solutions so you won't be forced to permit simple problems to stay unaddressed.
- Knowledge Transfer
Progent is committed to knowledge transfer from Progent's consultants to clients. By educating customers to resolve problems that are within their scope, Progent can focus on delivering high-value skills where Progent faces little competition. Companies who work with familiar freelance consultants or who employ internal IT personnel benefit when Progent transfers knowledge about critical technology and proven processes to make their IT environments more reliable, secure, and productive.
- Remote Server Monitoring with MS System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few IT service companies to offer 24x7 network monitoring services based on MS System Center Operations Manager.
