Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Businesses in Columbus Ohio
Progent's online technical help services enable your Columbus business to have the benefits of timely, expert network support without the expense of maintaining an in-house IT organization. Your information system will acquire added business value by becoming more available, efficient, and secure. Benefits to your business include:
- Convenient virtual expansion of your on-site support resources
With most organizations in Columbus Ohio, local network support resources, whether consisting of independent consultants or an in-house maintenance staff, can deal with typical technical issues. On the other hand, serious problems can spring up when your regular support personnel are overstretched or unavailable, and some trouble may involve IT products that is unfamiliar to your local service personnel. In these instances, Progent's online service specialists offer a convenient, quick, and affordable solution to augment your local help and to convey valuable information to improve your capability to handle downstream issues in-house.
- Less Dependence on Individual Service Providers
For network maintenance, smaller organizations often depend on individual freelance service providers. Although independent consultants have less overhead than big consulting organizations and can afford to charge marginally less, they are sometimes overbooked, making it difficult to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If an independent consultant is occupied with another client, ill, on a trip, or in class, the absence of reserve personnel may force your business to go without help during an emergency. As your network expands, system unavailability and problems with critical software become more costly. The budget you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be consumed fast by reduced productivity. Progent provides a reliable source of backup support expertise to make sure your network remains available.
- Build a Scalable Basis for Seamless Growth
Companies typically begin with an IT system created on a shoestring budget. Without a strong framework, band-aid fixes often get piled on top of a weak foundation. As a network grows, stability and scalability issues can hinder the productivity of the organization. These badly designed systems need proper analysis, intelligent long-term planning, and broad-based IT knowledge to upgrade to a system architecture able to provide the stable foundation to meet critical business requirements and simplify downstream expansion.
- Work with Problem Solvers Rather Than Product Sellers
Smaller offices need guidance and technical education to navigate through an increasingly complex maze of technology options capable of accelerating business success and enhancing efficiency. These companies hardly need a computer engineer who is trying to sell a specific vendor's products. IT support and product selling can result in a situation where the recommended
solution is designed around a predetermined technology instead of the genuine needs of a client. Progent eliminates these conflicts by offering just services instead of products. This allows Progent to match IT consulting with the best needs of customers.
What Makes Progent Unique from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner support company and Progent's staff size, range of IT background, refined remote support tools, and familiarity with corporate IT allow offices to escape the limitations of exclusive dependence on smaller service organizations, independent freelance consultants, or over-stretched internal resources.

- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing model is to charge for phone service and in-person help by the minute. As a result, you are charged just for delivered services. Progent does not impose a more expensive rate for off-hours or priority service, and within California or in regions where Progent provides on-site support, Progent does not charge for travel time except for urgent support where on-site time is less than 4 hours. In addition, Progent applies no service activation fee and requires no retainer for services provided during regular working hours. Many support organizations impose large minimum fees or charge for every fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity eliminates big invoices for fast fixes so you will not be forced to permit minor problems to stay unaddressed.
- Information Transfer
Progent is committed to knowledge transfer from Progent's consultants to customers. By teaching clients to deal with technical issues that are within their comfort zone, Progent can concentrate on offering hard-to-find services where Progent has few competitors. Businesses who work with trusted independent service providers or who maintain internal support personnel benefit when Progent transfers knowledge about new technology and proven processes to make their networks more reliable, secure, and productive.
- Automated Network Monitoring with MS System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few consulting firms to offer 24x7 network monitoring services powered by MS System Center Operations Manager. Microsoft Operations Manager allows your computer maintenance to be proactive rather than reactive. By revealing potential issues before they cause downtime, system monitoring can keep your IT network from stressful and expensive service losses.
