Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Companies in Clearwater Florida
Progent's online IT consulting services allow your Clearwater business to experience the advantages of immediate, world-class network support without the expense of maintaining a full-time IT organization. Your information system will acquire greater strategic value by becoming more available, efficient, and protected. Benefits to your business include:
- Convenient virtual extension of your local support resources
For most offices in Clearwater Florida, nearby computer service resources, whether consisting of outside consultants or an in-house IT staff, can solve typical network problems. However, serious problems may strike when your regular support personnel are overstretched or absent, and some trouble may stem from IT products that is unfamiliar to your onsite support people. In these instances, Progent's on-call service specialists provide an easy, quick, and affordable way to augment your local resources and to transfer useful knowledge to increase your capability to deal with future issues in-house.
- Reduced Reliance on Freelance Service Providers
For network support, smaller companies commonly depend on individual freelance service providers. Although independent service people carry less internal costs than larger support companies and can often charge lower rates, they are often stretched too thin, making it hard to respond quickly to crisis situations. If an independent consultant is busy with another customer, ill, on vacation, or in class, the lack of reserve help may require your business to wait for help during an emergency. As your company grows, system unavailability and problems with vital applications become more costly. The money you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be eaten up quickly by lost productivity. Progent offers an on-call source of reserve service experts to insure your IT system stays up and running.
- Build a Scalable Basis for Smooth Growth
Organizations typically begin with an information architecture implemented on a shoestring budget. Without a robust framework, band-aid fixes often get thrown onto a weak foundation. As a network grows, stability and expandability problems can hinder the productivity of the organization. Such badly built environments require careful analysis, smart strategic planning, and wide technical knowledge to upgrade to a system infrastructure that can provide the solid foundation to handle vital business demands and facilitate future growth.
- Work with Solution Providers Rather Than Technology Sellers
Smaller organizations require guidance and technical education to navigate through an ever more complicated maze of technology alternatives available for promoting business growth and improving efficiency. These companies do not need a network engineer who is motivated to resell a certain vendor's technology. Network consulting and product sales can lead to a situation where the recommended
solution is designed around a profitable technology instead of the genuine needs of a business. Progent avoids these conflicts by offering just services rather than products. This allows Progent to align IT consulting with the real needs of customers.
What Makes Progent Different from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting firm and Progent's staff size, depth of technical background, fine tuned remote support software, and understanding of enterprise networking allow businesses to avoid the pitfalls of excessive dependence on smaller service firms, individual freelance consultants, or over-stretched internal resources.

- Value Pricing

Also, Progent imposes no initialization charge and asks no monthly commitment for support services delivered during normal working hours.

Progent's one-minute granularity does away with large bills for quick repairs so you won't be forced to allow less critical problems to fester.
- Complete Records of IT Services
Progent has created a sophisticated service reporting system that stores and organizes complete documentation for all billed services. Unlike some independent consultants or small service firms who offer scant documentation or details of services done, every service delivered by Progent is accompanied by comprehensive documentation. Each Progent consultant has access to the support reports sent by each staff member to each client. The discipline of documenting and organizing service records results in more efficient support and eliminates a slew of typical misfortunes such as when a service customer is virtually held captive to a consultant who refuses to release vital service information.
- Remote Network Monitoring with Microsoft Operations Manager
Progent is one of the only support firms to provide round-the-clock remote tracking services based on MS System Center Operations Manager. MS Operations Manager allows your network support to be proactive instead of reactive. By uncovering potential issues before they cause downtime, network monitoring can save your information network from painful and expensive service losses.
