Benefits of Progent's Network Help for Organizations in Columbus Ohio
Progent's remote support services enable your Columbus organization to have the benefits of immediate, world-class IT support without the cost of maintaining an in-house IT staff. Your network will acquire greater strategic value by being increasingly available, efficient, and protected. Benefits to your company include:
- Seamless virtual expansion of your on-site support resources
For most offices in Columbus Ohio, local computer service providers, whether represented by independent consultants or an in-house IT staff, can resolve the majority of technical issues. On the other hand, serious problems can strike when your regular support personnel are overstretched or unavailable, and some problems may stem from IT products that is unfamiliar to your local service personnel. In these cases, Progent's online service professionals provide a convenient, fast, and affordable way to augment your regular help and to transfer valuable knowledge to increase your capability to deal with future problems in-house.
- Less Dependence on Individual Service Providers
For IT support, smaller organizations commonly depend on independent freelance consultants. While independent consultants have less internal costs than larger consulting organizations and can afford to charge lower rates, they are occasionally overbooked, making it impossible to respond quickly to urgent situations. If a freelance service provider is occupied with another client, sick, on vacation, or in class, the lack of fallback help may force your company to go without assistance during an emergency. As your business grows, network unavailability and problems with critical applications are more expensive. The budget you thought you were saving on an independent can be consumed quickly by lost productivity. Progent provides an on-call source of reserve support experts to make sure your IT system remains up and running.
- Create a Scalable Foundation for Seamless Expansion
Organizations typically start with an IT architecture created on a modest budget. Without a proper framework, band-aid fixes often get piled on top of a shaky foundation. As a company grows, reliability and expandability issues can hinder the success of the business. These poorly designed environments require proper analysis, intelligent strategic planning, and broad-based IT knowledge to upgrade to a system architecture that can deliver the solid foundation to meet vital business requirements and simplify future expansion.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Instead of Technology Sellers
Smaller businesses require guidance and technical education to negotiate an increasingly complicated array of product alternatives available for promoting business success and improving efficiency. Businesses do not need a computer engineer who is attempting to earn a commission on a specific vendor's products. Network consulting and product sales can lead to a situation where the recommended
solution is built around a predetermined technology rather than the true requirements of a client. Progent avoids these conflicts by selling just services rather than products. This allows Progent to align technical consulting with the best interests of clients.
How Is Progent Different from Other Support Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support firm and Progent's number of employees, depth of technical background, refined remote support tools, and understanding of enterprise networking allow businesses to avoid the limitations of exclusive reliance on smaller consulting organizations, independent freelance consultants, or limited internal IT help.
Progent adds value by offering:
- Proven Methodology
Progent's team of Microsoft and Cisco Premier Certified experts average longer than ten years of hands-on professional background, at the front lines of network support, executing a wide variety of IT projects for an extensive mix of businesses. Every Progent support professional shares a proven set of personal best practices which are incorporated into company-wide leading practices standards that Progent instills in its consulting personnel. This ensures that you get not only world-class technical help, but also a consultant with field-tested approaches for using computer knowledge to resolve actual IT problems rapidly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing model is to bill for online support and in-person help by the minute. Consequently, you are invoiced only for received support. Progent does not demand a more expensive rate for after-hours or priority support, and within California or in areas where Progent offers on-premises service, Progent does not bill for travel time except for emergency calls where on-site time is less than four hours. Also, Progent applies no startup charge and asks no retainer for services provided during normal working hours. Many support organizations demand substantial minimum fees or charge for every fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity eliminates big invoices for fast repairs so you won't be forced to permit simple problems to stay unaddressed.
- Complete Records of Delivered Services
Progent has developed a comprehensive service reporting system that stores and formats detailed documentation for all billed services. Unlike some independent consultants or local support organizations who offer minimal documentation or details of tasks performed, every service delivered by Progent is accompanied by full documentation. Each Progent consultant has access to the support documentation transmitted by every consultant to each customer. The discipline of detailing and organizing service records results in more efficient support and avoids a variety of typical misfortunes such as when a service customer is effectively held hostage to a consultant who won't release the keys to the kingdom.
- Remote Network Monitoring with MS Operations Manager
Progent is one of the only consulting companies to provide 24x7 system monitoring services powered by MS Operations Manager. Microsoft Operations Manager allows your network support to be proactive instead of reactive. By revealing possible issues before they cause downtime, system monitoring can keep your information network from stressful and expensive service losses.
