Benefits of Progent's IT Support for Companies in Clearwater Florida
Progent's remote support services allow your Clearwater company to have the advantages of timely, expert IT support without the cost of maintaining a full-time IT staff. Your network will acquire added strategic worth by being more available, productive, and secure. Benefits to your business include:
- Convenient remote extension of your on-site IT resources
For most companies in Clearwater Florida, local network support providers, whether made up of independent consultants or an internal maintenance staff, can solve the majority of network problems. On the other hand, serious problems might spring up when local resources are overstretched or absent, and some problems may involve technology that is unfamiliar to your onsite service personnel. In these situations, Progent's online support specialists provide an easy, quick, and economical solution to augment your local resources and to transfer useful knowledge to increase your capability to resolve future issues locally.
- Reduced Reliance on Individual Consultants
For IT support, smaller offices often depend on individual freelance consultants. While freelance consultants have smaller internal costs than big service organizations and can often charge lower rates, they are occasionally overbooked, making it impossible to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If an independent consultant is busy with another customer, ill, on vacation, or in class, the absence of fallback help may force your business to wait for help during an emergency. As your business expands, network downtime and problems with vital software are more expensive. The budget you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be consumed quickly by reduced productivity. Progent provides an on-call source of backup service experts to make sure your network stays up and running.
- Create a Scalable Basis for Seamless Growth
Organizations typically begin with an information system implemented on a modest budget. Without a robust framework, band-aid repairs can get thrown on top of a shaky foundation. As a network grows, stability and scalability problems can hinder the productivity of the organization. Such poorly built environments need proper assessment, intelligent long-term planning, and wide IT expertise to upgrade to a network architecture that can offer the solid foundation to meet current business demands and ease future growth.
- Interact with Solution Providers Instead of Technology Vendors
Smaller companies require guidance and technical education to navigate through an ever more complex array of product options available for promoting business growth and improving efficiency. They do not need a network engineer who is motivated to resell a certain vendor's technology. IT support and product selling can result in a situation where the recommended
solution is built around a predetermined technology rather than the genuine needs of a business. Progent eliminates these conflicts of interest by selling only services rather than products. This allows Progent to align IT consulting with the real needs of customers.
How Is Progent Unique from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner consulting firm and Progent's head count, depth of IT expertise, refined remote support tools, and understanding of enterprise networking enable businesses to avoid the limitations associated with excessive dependence on smaller consulting organizations, individual freelance service providers, or over-stretched in-house IT help.
Progent stands out by providing:
- Certified Knowledge of Microsoft's Full Family of Servers
Progent can provide in-depth support for Microsoft's leading server platforms with services that include Windows Server 2022 planning and integration services, Microsoft Windows Server 2019 migration services, Windows Server 2016 hybrid cloud solutions, Windows Server 2012 R2 planning and integration support services, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 migration, Microsoft Windows 2003 Server upgrades, MS Exchange 2019 planning and configuration, Microsoft Exchange 2016 migration, Exchange 2013 configuration, Exchange 2010 Server support, Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 moves, plus Microsoft SQL Server 2019 hybrid integration consulting, MS SQL Server 2017 migration, SQL Server 2016 integration and development, Microsoft SQL Server 2014 support, and SQL Server 2012 management and troubleshooting.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to bill for remote service and on-premises visits per minute. As a result, you owe only for delivered services. Progent does not demand a more expensive rate for after-hours or emergency support, and inside California or in areas where Progent offers on-site support, Progent does not charge for travel time except for urgent calls where on-site work is less than four hours. In addition, Progent applies no initialization fee and requires no retainer for support services provided during regular business hours. Many support firms impose substantial minimum fees or charge for each quarter hour or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity eliminates large invoices for quick fixes so you will not be tempted to permit minor problems to stay unaddressed.
- Complete Documentation of Delivered Services
Progent has created a sophisticated service reporting system that stores and organizes detailed documentation for all delivered support activities. Unlike many freelance consultants or local service firms who offer minimal documentation or specifics of tasks performed, every service provided by Progent is accompanied by full documentation. Every Progent staff member has access to the support reports transmitted by each consultant to each customer. The practice of detailing and archiving support records results in more efficient support and avoids a slew of typical problems such as when a service customer is virtually held captive to a consultant who refuses to release vital service information.
- Automated Server Monitoring with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the only consulting firms to provide round-the-clock network tracking services based on MS System Center Operations Manager. MS System Center Operations Manager causes your computer support to be proactive instead of reactive. By uncovering potential problems before they cause lost productivity, network monitoring can keep your IT network from stressful and expensive availability losses.
