Why Progent Is the Right Alternative for Chattanooga, Tennessee Businesses
Progent's staff size, breadth and depth of technical skill, and familiarity with enterprise network support allow small businesses to avoid the problems related to excessive reliance on thinly staffed service firms or individual consultants.

Teaming with Progent enables your small business to:

• Prevent Excessive Reliance on Freelance Consultants
  For network services, small businesses often depend heavily on individual engineers. Although freelance support engineers have lower overhead than larger IT service firms and can afford to charge apparently lower fees, they are often unable to react rapidly to critical network problems. If a freelance engineer is busy with different client, ill, on vacation, or in training, the lack of replacement staff may force your company to wait for help during a crisis. The more your small business grows, system downtime or difficulties with critical programs become more costly. The dollars you believed you were saving on an independent consultant can be eaten up quickly because of lost output. In addition, when independent engineers confront new technologies, the lack of a big consulting group to depend on for assistance forces them to learn in place while your organization ends up footing the bill for their continuing training.

• Have Access to Certified Professionals in Advanced Information Technology Issues
  Many small service organizations or freelance engineers specializing in small business IT consulting are capable of delivering connect-the-dots solutions but lack the seasoning to deal cost-effectively with complex network infrastructures with a variety of platforms, multiple sites, Voice over IP implementations, remote workforces, integrated accounting and analytical software, eCommerce, and custom line-of-business software. Progent's experience with global enterprises and Progent's large group of specialists can be valuable to your business because big-company networks are inherently complex, support problems require thorough knowledge in many technical disciplines, and achieving a high degree of robustness, reliability, and protection calls for enterprise-tested leading practices.

• Build a Firm Basis for Growth
  Small companies typically begin with a network cobbled together on a tight budget. Lacking a proper basis, a series of band-aid repairs often get piled onto of a weak foundation. As a company grows, reliability and expandability problems can undermine the productivity of the organization. Such networks need thorough evaluation, intelligent business analysis, and in-depth experience to migrate to a network infrastructure that can act as the solid basis to meet current business requirements and ease downstream growth.

• Partner with Solution Finders, Not Product Vendors
  Small companies need guidance and education to navigate through an ever more complex maze of technology alternatives available for enabling business growth and enhancing efficiency. Businesses do not need a network consultant or support firm that attempts to sell them a product. Progent avoids conflicts of interest by not reselling any products. Progent sells services only. This permits Progent to match consulting services with the real interests of clients. Combining network support and product selling can lead to a conflict where the recommended solution is based on a predetermined vendor instead of being driven by the actual requirements of a customer.
