Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Companies in Charleston South Carolina
Progent's online IT consulting services allow your Charleston organization to have the benefits of on-call, expert IT support without the cost of managing an in-house IT staff. Your information system will derive added strategic worth by being increasingly available, efficient, and secure. Benefits to your business include:
- Seamless virtual expansion of your on-site IT resources
For most organizations in Charleston South Carolina, local computer support resources, whether consisting of freelance consultants or a full-time maintenance staff, can take care of the majority of technical problems. On the other hand, serious problems may strike when your regular resources are too busy or absent, and some problems may stem from IT products that is beyond the scope of your onsite service technicians. In these cases, Progent's online support professionals provide an easy, quick, and economical way to supplement your local help and to transfer valuable information to improve your capability to handle future issues locally.
- Less Reliance on Freelance Service Providers
For IT maintenance, smaller companies often depend on independent freelance service providers. Although freelance consultants have less internal costs than big service firms and can often charge lower rates, they are occasionally stretched too thin, making it difficult to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If an independent service provider is busy with another client, sick, on a trip, or in training, the lack of reserve personnel may force your company to wait for assistance during an emergency. As your business grows, system unavailability and problems with vital applications become more costly. The money you thought you were saving on an independent can be consumed quickly by lost productivity. Progent provides a dependable source of reserve support expertise to make sure your IT system is always up and running.
- Build a Solid Basis for Smooth Expansion
Companies typically begin with an IT system implemented on a modest budget. Lacking a scalable framework, slap-dash repairs often get thrown on top of an unstable foundation. As a company grows, reliability and scalability issues can impede the success of the organization. Such poorly designed systems require proper assessment, intelligent long-term planning, and wide IT knowledge to evolve to a system architecture able to offer the stable foundation to handle current business demands and ease downstream expansion.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Rather Than Product Vendors
Smaller organizations require guidance and technical training to navigate through an increasingly complex maze of technology alternatives available for accelerating business growth and improving efficiency. They hardly need a network engineer who is trying to resell a specific vendor's products. Network consulting and product sales can result in a scenario where the recommended
solution is designed around a predetermined product rather than the true needs of a client. Progent avoids these dilemmas by offering only services rather than products. This enables Progent to align IT consulting with the best interests of clients.
How Is Progent Unique from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner consulting firm and Progent's staff size, range of IT expertise, refined support tools, and understanding of corporate IT enable offices to avoid the pitfalls of exclusive reliance on smaller consulting firms, independent freelance consultants, or limited in-house resources.
Progent adds value by offering:
- Best Practices
Progent's staff of Microsoft and Cisco Certified experts average longer than ten years of real-world professional background, at the forefront of IT service, executing a broad variety of IT tasks for a large mix of customers.

This ensures that you get not just world-class IT skills, but also a consultant with proven approaches for using technical knowledge to resolve actual network problems rapidly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing model is to charge for phone support and in-person visits per minute. Consequently, you owe only for received services. Progent does not impose a higher rate for after-hours or priority support, and within California or in areas where Progent provides on-site 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 minimum charge and asks no retainer for support services provided during normal working hours. Many service organizations demand substantial minimum fees or charge for each fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity avoids large bills for quick solutions so you won't be tempted to allow simple problems to fester.
- Information Transfer
Progent is committed to knowledge transfer from Progent's support experts to customers. By teaching customers to handle problems that are within their scope, Progent can focus on offering hard-to-find services where Progent faces few competitors. Businesses who work with familiar freelance service providers or who employ in-house IT staffs benefit when Progent transfers knowledge about new technology and proven processes to make their networks more reliable, protected, and productive.
