Benefits of Progent's IT Support for Offices in Chattanooga Tennessee
Progent's online support services enable your Chattanooga company to experience the benefits of timely, expert network support without the cost of managing a full-time IT staff. Your network will acquire added strategic worth by becoming more available, productive, and protected. Advantages to your company include:
- Seamless virtual extension of your on-site IT resources
With most offices in Chattanooga Tennessee, local network service resources, whether represented by independent consultants or an in-house IT staff, can take care of the majority of network problems. On the other hand, serious problems might strike when local support personnel are overstretched or absent, and some problems may be associated with IT products that is beyond the scope of your local support personnel. In these cases, Progent's online support professionals give you a convenient, quick, and budget-friendly way to supplement your local resources and to convey useful knowledge to increase your capability to resolve downstream problems locally.
- Reduced Dependence on Freelance Service Providers
For IT support, smaller offices commonly depend on independent freelance consultants. While freelance consultants carry less internal costs than larger service companies and can afford to charge lower rates, they are sometimes stretched too thin, making it hard to respond rapidly to crisis situations. If a freelance consultant is busy with another customer, sick, on a trip, or in training, the lack of reserve help may force your business to go without help during an IT crisis. As your company grows, system unavailability and problems with vital applications are more expensive. The budget you thought you were saving on a freelancer can be eaten up quickly by lost productivity. Progent offers a dependable source of reserve support expertise to make sure your network remains up and running.
- Build a Scalable Foundation for Seamless Growth
Companies typically begin with an IT architecture implemented on a modest budget. Without a scalable framework, band-aid fixes often get thrown on top of a weak foundation. When a network grows, stability and scalability problems can hinder the productivity of the business. Such poorly built systems require proper assessment, smart long-term planning, and broad-based IT knowledge to upgrade to a network infrastructure able to offer the solid foundation to meet current business demands and facilitate downstream expansion.
- Interact with Solution Providers Rather Than Technology Vendors
Smaller businesses need guidance and technical education to navigate through an ever more complex maze of product options available for accelerating business growth and enhancing productivity. Businesses hardly need a network engineer who is motivated to sell a specific vendor's technology. Network support and product selling can result in a situation where the proposed
solution is built around a predetermined technology instead of the true requirements of a business. Progent avoids these conflicts by offering just services instead of products. This enables Progent to match IT expertise with the real interests of clients.
How Is Progent Unique from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner consulting company and Progent's head count, range of technical expertise, fine tuned remote support software, and understanding of corporate IT allow companies to avoid the pitfalls of excessive dependence on smaller consulting firms, individual freelance consultants, or limited internal resources.
