Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Organizations in Columbus Ohio
Progent's remote support services allow your Columbus business to experience the advantages of on-call, enterprise-level IT support without the expense of managing a full-time IT staff. Your network will derive greater strategic worth by becoming increasingly reliable, efficient, and secure. Advantages to your business include:
- Seamless virtual expansion of your on-site IT resources
With most organizations in Columbus Ohio, local computer support providers, whether consisting of outside consultants or an internal maintenance staff, can take care of the majority of network problems. On the other hand, serious problems may strike when local support personnel are overstretched or unavailable, and some problems may involve IT products that is beyond the scope of your onsite support personnel. In these instances, Progent's on-call service experts give you an easy, quick, and affordable way to augment your local help and to convey useful knowledge to increase your capability to resolve downstream issues in-house.
- Less Dependence on Individual Service Providers
For IT support, smaller organizations often depend on independent freelance consultants. While freelance consultants have smaller overhead than big service firms and can afford to charge lower rates, they are sometimes overbooked, making it difficult to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If an independent service provider is occupied with another client, ill, on a trip, or in class, the absence of reserve personnel may require your company to wait for help during an IT crisis. As your company grows, network unavailability and trouble with vital applications become more costly. The money you thought you were conserving on an independent can be eaten up quickly by reduced productivity. Progent provides a dependable source of reserve service expertise to insure your network stays up and running.
- Create a Scalable Basis for Smooth Expansion
Companies often start with an IT system implemented on a shoestring budget. Without a proper infrastructure, band-aid repairs can get thrown on top of a weak foundation. As a network grows, reliability and scalability problems can impede the productivity of the organization. These poorly designed environments need careful assessment, intelligent long-term planning, and extensive IT expertise to upgrade to a network infrastructure able to deliver the solid foundation to handle current business demands and ease future growth.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Instead of Technology Resellers
Smaller offices need guidance and technical education to navigate through an ever more complicated array of technology options capable of accelerating business growth and improving productivity. These companies hardly need a computer consultant who is trying to resell a certain vendor's technology. IT consulting and product selling can lead to a scenario where the proposed
solution is designed around a predetermined technology rather than the genuine needs of a business. Progent avoids these conflicts by offering just services instead of products. This enables Progent to match IT consulting with the best needs of clients.
How Is Progent Unique from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner support firm and Progent's number of employees, breadth of IT expertise, refined remote support tools, and familiarity with corporate IT enable businesses to escape the pitfalls of exclusive dependence on smaller consulting organizations, independent freelance service providers, or over-stretched internal resources.
Progent stands out by offering:
- Proven Methodology
Progent's staff of Microsoft and Cisco Premier experts average longer than ten years of hands-on professional experience, at the forefront of network service, performing a broad variety of IT tasks for an extensive mix of businesses.

This means that you get not just expert IT help, but also a consultant with field-tested methods for applying technical knowledge to solve actual IT problems rapidly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to charge for remote service and in-person help per minute. Consequently, you are charged just for delivered services. Progent does not impose a higher rate for after-hours or urgent service, and within California or in areas where Progent provides on-site support, Progent does not bill for travel time except for urgent support where on-site work is less than 4 hours. Also, Progent applies no service activation fee and requires no retainer for support services delivered during normal business hours. Many service firms impose large minimum fees or charge for every fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity eliminates big bills for fast repairs so you will not be forced to permit minor problems to stay unaddressed.
- Full Documentation of IT Services
Progent has developed a comprehensive support reporting system that stores and formats detailed documentation for all billed support activities. Unlike some independent consultants or local service organizations who offer scant documentation or details of services done, each service provided by Progent is accompanied by full documentation. Each Progent staff member has use of the service documentation transmitted by every consultant to each customer. The discipline of documenting and archiving support activity results in more effective support and eliminates a slew of typical problems such as when a service client is virtually held hostage to a consultant who refuses to let go of vital service information.
- Remote Network Monitoring with Microsoft Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few IT service firms to provide 24x7 remote tracking services powered by MS Operations Manager. MS Operations Manager causes your computer support to be anticipatory rather than reactive. By revealing possible problems before they result in lost productivity, network monitoring can keep your IT network from stressful and expensive availability losses.
