Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Companies in Clearwater Florida
Progent's remote IT consulting services enable your Clearwater business to enjoy the advantages of on-call, enterprise-level network support without the cost of managing an in-house IT staff. Your network will derive greater business value by being more reliable, efficient, and secure. Benefits to your business include:
- Convenient virtual expansion of your local support resources
With most companies in Clearwater Florida, nearby computer service providers, whether consisting of independent consultants or an internal maintenance staff, can take care of the majority of network issues. On the other hand, serious problems sometimes occur when local resources are too busy or absent, and some problems may stem from technology that is beyond the scope of your onsite support technicians. In these cases, Progent's online support specialists provide a convenient, fast, and affordable way to augment your regular help and to pass on valuable knowledge to improve your ability to resolve downstream problems locally.
- Less Dependence on Freelance Service Providers
For network maintenance, smaller offices often rely on individual freelance service providers. While freelance consultants carry less internal costs than larger consulting firms and can afford to charge lower rates, they are often overextended, making it difficult to respond rapidly to crisis situations. If a freelance service provider is busy with another customer, sick, on a trip, or in class, the lack of fallback help may force your business to go without help during an IT crisis. As your company expands, network unavailability and problems with critical software become more costly. The money you thought you were saving on a freelancer can be consumed fast by reduced productivity. Progent provides a dependable source of reserve support expertise to make sure your network is always up and running.
- Build a Scalable Basis for Smooth Growth
Businesses often start with an IT system implemented on a modest budget. Lacking a scalable framework, band-aid repairs often get piled onto an unstable foundation. When a company grows, reliability and scalability problems can hinder the success of the organization. These poorly built systems need proper analysis, smart long-term planning, and wide IT knowledge to upgrade to a network infrastructure able to provide the solid foundation to meet vital business demands and ease future growth.
- Interact with Solution Providers Rather Than Technology Resellers
Smaller offices need guidance and technical education to navigate through an ever more complex maze of technology alternatives capable of promoting business success and enhancing efficiency. These companies hardly need a computer engineer who is attempting to sell a certain vendor's products. Network consulting and product sales can lead to a scenario where the proposed
solution is designed around a predetermined product instead of the genuine requirements of a client. Progent avoids these conflicts of interest by selling only services rather than products. This allows Progent to align IT consulting with the real needs of clients.
How Is Progent Different from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting company and Progent's head count, range of IT background, fine tuned support tools, and familiarity with enterprise networking enable companies to escape the pitfalls of exclusive reliance on smaller service organizations, independent freelance consultants, or limited in-house resources.

This guarantees that you get not only expert technical help, but also a consultant with proven approaches for applying computer knowledge to resolve actual network problems quickly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing model is to charge for online support and on-site help per minute. Consequently, you owe just for received services. Progent does not impose a higher rate for after-hours or emergency support, and inside California or in areas where Progent provides in-person support, Progent does not bill for travel time except for emergency calls where on-site time is less than 4 hours. Also, Progent imposes no service activation charge and requires no monthly commitment for support services provided during normal working hours. Many service organizations demand large minimum payments or charge for every quarter hour or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity avoids big invoices for quick fixes so you will not be forced to permit less critical problems to stay unaddressed.
- Knowledge Transfer
Progent practices knowledge transfer from Progent's support experts to clients. By educating clients to resolve problems that are within their comfort zone, Progent can focus on providing high-value services where Progent has little competition. Businesses who utilize trusted freelance service providers or who maintain internal support staffs benefit when Progent passes on information about new technology and proven processes to make their IT environments more reliable, protected, and productive.
- Automated Server Monitoring with Microsoft Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few support firms to offer round-the-clock network monitoring services powered by MS Operations Manager.

By anticipating possible problems before they result in downtime, network monitoring can keep your information network from stressful and costly service losses.
