Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Organizations in Chattanooga Tennessee
Progent's remote support services enable your Chattanooga business to realize the benefits of on-call, enterprise-level network support without the cost of managing a full-time IT organization. Your information system will derive added business value by being more available, productive, and secure. Advantages to your business include:
- Seamless virtual extension of your local IT resources
With most companies in Chattanooga Tennessee, nearby computer support resources, whether represented by freelance consultants or a full-time maintenance staff, can handle the majority of technical issues. However, serious problems may spring up when your regular resources are overstretched or unavailable, and some trouble may involve IT products that is unfamiliar to your onsite support technicians. In these instances, Progent's on-call service specialists offer a convenient, fast, and economical way to supplement your regular help and to convey valuable knowledge to increase your capability to handle future problems locally.
- Reduced Dependence on Freelance Consultants
For IT maintenance, smaller offices often rely on individual freelance service providers. While independent service people have smaller internal costs than larger support companies and can often charge marginally less, they are occasionally overextended, making it impossible to respond rapidly to crisis situations. If an independent service provider is busy with another customer, sick, on vacation, or in training, the absence of backup help may require your business to go without help during an emergency. As your company grows, system downtime and trouble with vital software are more costly. The money you thought you were saving on a freelancer can be eaten up quickly by reduced productivity. Progent provides a dependable source of backup service expertise to insure your network stays up and running.
- Create a Scalable Foundation for Smooth Growth
Companies often begin with an IT system created on a shoestring budget. Lacking a proper infrastructure, band-aid repairs often get piled on top of a shaky foundation. As a company grows, stability and scalability problems can impede the productivity of the business. Such poorly built systems need careful assessment, intelligent long-term planning, and broad-based IT knowledge to evolve to a system architecture able to deliver the solid foundation to handle vital business demands and simplify future expansion.
- Interact with Solution Providers Rather Than Product Sellers
Smaller offices require guidance and technical education to negotiate an ever more complicated maze of technology options capable of promoting business success and improving productivity. They do not need a computer engineer who is attempting to resell a certain vendor's products. Network consulting and product sales can lead to a scenario where the proposed
solution is designed around a profitable product rather than the genuine requirements of a business. Progent eliminates these conflicts by selling only services rather than products. This allows Progent to align technical consulting with the real needs of customers.
How Is Progent Unique from Other Support Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner support company and Progent's number of employees, breadth of IT background, fine tuned remote support software, and familiarity with corporate IT enable offices to escape the pitfalls of exclusive reliance on smaller service organizations, individual freelance service providers, or over-stretched internal IT help.

- Full Documentation of Delivered Services

The practice of detailing and archiving support activity allows more efficient support and avoids a variety of typical misfortunes such as when a support customer is virtually held hostage to a consultant who won't release vital service information.
- Remote Network Monitoring with MS Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few consulting firms to provide round-the-clock remote monitoring services powered by MS Operations Manager.
