Benefits of Progent's IT Support for Companies in Columbus Ohio
Progent's remote support services allow your Columbus business to enjoy the benefits of immediate, expert IT support without the expense of maintaining an in-house IT staff. Your network will derive added business value by being increasingly available, productive, and protected. Benefits to your business include:
- Seamless virtual expansion of your on-site IT resources
With most businesses in Columbus Ohio, nearby network service resources, whether consisting of independent consultants or a full-time maintenance staff, can resolve the majority of network issues. On the other hand, serious problems can strike when your regular resources are too busy or absent, and some problems may be associated with IT products that is unfamiliar to your usual support technicians. In these instances, Progent's on-call support professionals offer a convenient, quick, and budget-friendly way to supplement your regular resources and to pass on valuable information to increase your ability to deal with downstream issues in-house.
- Less Dependence on Individual Service Providers
For IT maintenance, smaller organizations often rely on independent freelance consultants. Although freelance service people carry smaller 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 urgent situations. If an independent service provider is busy with another client, sick, on vacation, or in class, the lack of backup help may require your company to go without help during an emergency. As your business grows, system downtime and problems with critical software are more expensive. The budget you thought you were saving on an independent can be eaten up fast by reduced productivity. Progent offers a dependable source of reserve service experts to insure your network is always available.
- Create a Scalable Basis for Smooth Expansion
Companies often begin with an information architecture created on a shoestring budget. Without a strong infrastructure, band-aid fixes often get piled onto a weak foundation. When a network grows, reliability and expandability issues can impede the productivity of the business. These badly built systems need proper assessment, smart long-term planning, and wide IT knowledge to evolve to a network architecture able to deliver the stable foundation to meet current business requirements and simplify future expansion.
- Work with Problem Solvers Instead of Product Resellers
Smaller companies require guidance and technical training to navigate through an increasingly complicated array of technology options available for promoting business success and improving productivity. These companies do not need a network engineer who is motivated to sell a certain vendor's products. Network consulting and product selling can result in a situation where the recommended
solution is designed around a predetermined technology rather than the true needs of a client. Progent avoids these conflicts of interest by offering just services instead of products. This enables Progent to match technical expertise with the best interests of clients.
What Makes Progent Different from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner consulting firm and Progent's head count, depth of technical experience, refined remote support tools, and familiarity with corporate IT enable companies to escape the limitations of exclusive dependence on smaller service firms, individual freelance consultants, or limited in-house resources.
