Benefits of Progent's Network Help for Offices in Chesapeake Virginia
Progent's remote support services allow your Chesapeake company to realize the advantages of on-call, expert IT support without the expense of maintaining an in-house IT staff. Your information system will derive greater business value by becoming increasingly reliable, productive, and secure. Benefits to your business include:
- Seamless virtual expansion of your on-site support resources
For most companies in Chesapeake Virginia, nearby computer service providers, whether made up of independent consultants or an in-house IT staff, can solve the majority of technical issues. On the other hand, IT crises might spring up when your regular resources are too busy or unavailable, and some trouble may be associated with IT products that is unfamiliar to your local support personnel. In these instances, Progent's online support experts give you a convenient, fast, and budget-friendly way to supplement your local help and to pass on valuable knowledge to improve your capability to resolve downstream problems locally.
- Less Dependence on Individual Consultants
For network maintenance, smaller companies commonly depend on individual freelance consultants. While freelance service people have smaller overhead than big service organizations and can often charge marginally less, they are sometimes stretched too thin, making it difficult to respond quickly to urgent situations. If a freelance consultant is occupied with another client, ill, on a trip, or in training, the absence of backup personnel may require your company to wait for help during an emergency. As your company expands, system downtime and trouble with critical applications become more expensive. The budget you thought you were conserving on an independent can be eaten up quickly by lost productivity. Progent offers a dependable source of reserve support expertise to insure your network is always available.
- Create a Scalable Basis for Seamless Expansion
Companies often begin with an IT architecture created on a shoestring budget. Lacking a proper framework, band-aid fixes often get thrown on top of an unstable foundation. When a network grows, reliability and scalability problems can hinder the productivity of the business. Such badly designed environments need careful assessment, intelligent long-term planning, and broad-based IT knowledge to upgrade to a system infrastructure that can provide the stable foundation to meet vital business demands and ease downstream expansion.
- Work with Problem Solvers Rather Than Product Sellers
Smaller offices need advice and technical education to navigate through an ever more complicated array of product alternatives available for accelerating business success and enhancing efficiency. These companies hardly need a network consultant who is attempting to sell a specific vendor's technology. Network consulting and product selling can lead to a situation where the recommended
solution is designed around a predetermined product rather than the true needs of a client. Progent avoids these dilemmas by offering just services rather than products. This allows Progent to match technical consulting with the best interests of customers.
How Is Progent Different from Other Support Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting company and Progent's head count, breadth of IT knowledge, fine tuned support software, and familiarity with corporate IT allow companies to avoid the pitfalls associated with exclusive dependence on smaller service firms, individual freelance service providers, or limited in-house IT help.
Progent adds value by providing:
- Best Practices
Progent’s staff of Microsoft and Cisco Premier Certified consultants average longer than a decade of real-world industry background, at the front lines of IT service, executing a broad range of IT projects for an extensive mix of businesses. Every Progent support professional shares a refined set of personal best practices which are combined into company-wide leading practices standards that Progent instills in its support team. This guarantees that you get not just world-class technical capability, but also a consultant with proven approaches for using computer knowledge to resolve actual IT problems efficiently.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing model is to bill for phone service and on-site help by the minute. As a result, you are charged just for received support. Progent does not impose a higher rate for after-hours or urgent service, and within California or in regions where Progent offers in-person support, Progent does not bill for travel time except for emergency calls where on-site work is less than 4 hours. In addition, Progent imposes no service activation fee and asks no monthly commitment for support services delivered during regular working hours. Many service organizations demand substantial minimum fees or charge for every quarter hour or longer. Progent's fine granularity avoids big bills for quick fixes so you will not be forced to permit less critical problems to stay unaddressed.
- Complete Documentation of Delivered Services
Progent has developed a comprehensive service reporting system that stores and organizes complete documentation for all delivered services. Unlike many freelance consultants or local service firms who offer minimal documentation or details of tasks done, every service provided by Progent is accompanied by full documentation. Every Progent staff member has access to the service documentation sent by every staff member to every customer. The discipline of documenting and archiving service activity results in more effective support and avoids a slew of typical problems such as when a service client is virtually held hostage to a consultant who won’t let go of vital service information.
- 24x7 Server Monitoring with Microsoft Operations Manager
Progent is one of the only consulting companies to offer 24x7 remote monitoring services powered by Microsoft System Center Operations Manager. MS System Center Operations Manager causes your network maintenance to be proactive rather than reactive. By revealing potential problems before they result in downtime, network monitoring can save your information network from painful and costly service losses.
