Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Businesses in Clearwater Florida
Progent's online IT consulting services allow your Clearwater business to enjoy the benefits of on-call, expert network support without the expense of maintaining an in-house IT organization. Your information system will derive greater strategic worth by being increasingly available, productive, and secure. Advantages to your company include:
- Convenient remote extension of your local IT resources
With most organizations in Clearwater Florida, nearby computer support providers, whether made up of outside consultants or a full-time maintenance staff, can take care of typical network problems. However, major troubles can spring up when local support personnel are too busy or unavailable, and some problems may be associated with technology that is beyond the scope of your usual support people. In these instances, Progent's online service professionals provide a convenient, fast, and budget-friendly solution to supplement your regular resources and to convey valuable information to improve your capability to handle future issues in-house.
- Reduced Reliance on Individual Service Providers
For network maintenance, smaller companies often depend on independent freelance consultants. While independent consultants carry less overhead than larger support firms and can afford to charge lower rates, they are occasionally overbooked, making it difficult to respond rapidly to crisis situations. If an independent service provider is occupied with another client, sick, on a trip, or in class, the lack of reserve personnel may require your company to go without help during an emergency. As your company expands, network downtime and trouble with critical applications become more expensive. The budget you thought you were saving on a freelancer can be eaten up quickly by lost productivity. Progent provides a reliable source of backup support expertise to insure your network stays available.
- Create a Scalable Foundation for Seamless Growth
Organizations often start with an information system created on a shoestring budget. Lacking a scalable framework, band-aid fixes can get thrown on top of a shaky foundation. When a network grows, reliability and scalability problems can hinder the success of the organization. Such poorly designed environments require proper analysis, smart long-term planning, and broad-based technical knowledge to evolve to a system infrastructure able to deliver the solid foundation to handle vital business demands and facilitate future growth.
- Work with Solution Providers Instead of Technology Vendors
Smaller organizations require advice and technical training to navigate through an ever more complex maze of product options capable of promoting business success and improving efficiency. These companies do not need a network consultant who is attempting to resell a certain vendor's technology. IT support and product sales can lead to a situation where the proposed
solution is designed around a predetermined technology rather than the genuine needs of a client. Progent avoids these conflicts of interest by selling just services instead of products. This allows Progent to match technical consulting with the best needs of customers.
What Makes Progent Different from Other Support Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting company and Progent's head count, range of IT knowledge, fine tuned support software, and familiarity with corporate IT enable offices to escape the pitfalls associated with exclusive reliance on smaller consulting organizations, individual freelance service providers, or limited internal resources.

This means that you get not only expert technical capability, but also a consultant with field-tested methods for using computer knowledge to solve actual network problems rapidly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to bill for online support and in-person visits per minute. As a result, you pay exclusively for received support.

In addition, Progent applies no initialization charge and requires no retainer for services provided during regular business hours. Many service firms impose large minimum payments or charge for each quarter hour or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity eliminates large invoices for fast fixes so you will not be forced to permit simple problems to fester.
- Information Transfer
Progent practices knowledge transfer from Progent's support experts to customers. By teaching clients to handle problems that are within their scope, Progent can focus on offering high-value services where Progent has little competition. Companies who utilize familiar freelance service providers or who employ in-house IT staffs benefit when Progent transfers information about new technology and tested processes to make their IT environments more reliable, protected, and productive.
- Remote Network Monitoring with Microsoft Operations Manager
Progent is one of the only support firms to offer round-the-clock system monitoring services powered by MS Operations Manager.
