Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Offices in Dallas
Progent's online technical help services allow your Dallas company to enjoy the benefits of on-call, world-class network support without the expense of managing a full-time IT organization. Your information system will derive greater business value by being increasingly available, efficient, and secure. Advantages to your business include:

  • Convenient virtual extension of your on-site support resources
    With most companies in Dallas and throughout Texas, nearby computer support providers, whether consisting of outside consultants or an internal maintenance staff, can solve the majority of network problems. However, major troubles may spring up when your regular resources are overstretched or absent, and some trouble may be associated with IT products that is unfamiliar to your onsite service people. In these situations, Progent's online service professionals provide an easy, fast, and affordable solution to supplement your local resources and to pass on valuable information to improve your capability to resolve future problems in-house.

  • Less Dependence on Individual Consultants
    For IT support, smaller offices commonly rely on independent freelance consultants. Although freelance service people have smaller overhead than big consulting companies and can often charge lower rates, they are sometimes stretched too thin, making it difficult to respond rapidly to crisis situations. If an independent consultant is occupied with another client, ill, on vacation, or in training, the lack of backup help may require your company to wait for help during an IT crisis. As your company grows, network downtime and trouble with critical applications become more expensive. The budget you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be consumed quickly by lost productivity. Progent offers an on-call source of reserve support experts to make sure your network stays available.

  • Build a Solid Basis for Smooth Expansion
    Businesses typically start with an information architecture created on a modest budget. Without a proper framework, slap-dash repairs often get thrown on top of a weak foundation. When a network grows, reliability and scalability problems can hinder the success of the business. These poorly built environments need proper analysis, smart strategic planning, and broad-based IT knowledge to upgrade to a system architecture that can deliver the stable foundation to meet critical business requirements and ease downstream expansion.

  • Work with Problem Solvers Instead of Product Resellers
    Smaller offices need advice and technical education to negotiate an increasingly complex maze of technology alternatives available for accelerating business success and enhancing efficiency. These companies hardly need a computer consultant who is trying to earn a commission on a specific vendor's products. IT consulting and product selling can lead to a situation where the proposed solution is designed around a profitable product instead of the genuine requirements of a client. Progent eliminates these dilemmas by selling only services rather than products. This allows Progent to match IT consulting with the best needs of clients.

How Is Progent Unique from Other Support Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support company and Progent's staff size, depth of technical expertise, refined support software, and familiarity with corporate IT allow businesses to avoid the pitfalls associated with excessive reliance on smaller service organizations, individual freelance consultants, or limited in-house IT help.

Progent stands out by providing:

  • Best Practices
    Progent’s team of Microsoft and Cisco Certified consultants average more than a decade of hands-on industry background, at the forefront of network service, executing a wide range of technical projects for an extensive array of customers. Each Progent consultant shares a proven collection of personal best practices which are incorporated into company-wide leading practices training that Progent teaches its support staff. This ensures that you get not only world-class IT help, but also a support engineer with proven methods for applying computer knowledge to fix actual network problems rapidly.

  • Value Pricing
    Progent's pricing policy is to charge for remote service and in-person help per minute. Consequently, you are billed exclusively for received services. Progent does not impose a higher rate for off-hours or emergency service, and inside California or in regions where Progent provides on-site support, Progent does not charge for travel except for urgent calls where on-site work is less than four hours. In addition, Progent applies no initialization fee and requires no monthly commitment for support services provided during normal business hours. Many service organizations demand substantial minimum payments or charge for each quarter hour or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity does away with big invoices for fast fixes so you will not be tempted to permit less critical problems to fester.

  • Full Documentation of Delivered Services
    Progent has created a sophisticated support reporting system that records and organizes complete documentation for all billed services. Unlike many freelance consultants or small support firms who provide minimal documentation or details of services done, every service provided by Progent is accompanied by comprehensive documentation. Every Progent staff member has access to the service reports sent by every staff member to every customer. The practice of detailing and archiving support activity allows more effective service and eliminates a slew of typical misfortunes such as when a service client is virtually held captive to a consultant who won’t let go of vital service information.

  • Automated Server Monitoring with Microsoft Operations Manager
    Progent is one of the few consulting firms to provide round-the-clock remote monitoring services powered by Microsoft System Center Operations Manager. MS Operations Manager causes your computer support to be anticipatory rather than reactive. By revealing possible problems before they cause lost productivity, system monitoring can keep your information network from painful and costly service losses.
