Why Progent Offers the Right Alternative for Davis, California Small Businesses
Progent's size, depth of technical skill, and experience with corporate IT consulting allow small and midsize companies to sidestep the pitfalls related to over dependence on small support organizations or independent consultants.

Working with Progent enables your business to:

• Avoid Over Dependence on Individual Support Consultants
  For network support, smaller companies sometimes depend heavily on individual consultants. Though freelance service providers carry lower expenses than more substantial IT service organizations and can typically bill nominally smaller rates, they are frequently too busy to respond quickly to critical situations. If an independent engineer is occupied with different client, ill, on travelling, or in class, the absence of backup staff may require your business to go without help in case of a crisis. As your small business expands, network downtime or problems with critical programs become more costly. The dollars you believed you were saving on a freelancer can evaporate quickly because of lost output. In addition, when freelance engineers confront unfamiliar problems, the unavailability of a big consulting team to depend on for help forces them to learn with the meter running while your business ends up with the costs for their continuing training.

• Gain Access to Experts in Advanced IT Solutions
  The majority of smaller support organizations or independent engineers who concentrate on small company network support may excel at providing connect-the-dots fixes but lack the experience to deal cost-effectively with complex IT environments with mixed platforms, numerous sites, VoIP systems, remote workforces, integrated accounting and operational applications, data-driven web sites, and custom line-of-business applications. Progent's experience with worldwide enterprises and Progent's extensive group of experts can benefit your business because big-company environments are by nature complicated, support problems demand thorough knowledge in many technical areas, and reaching a high level of robustness, availability, and protection calls for enterprise-tested leading practices.

• Create a Solid Foundation for Growth
  Small companies typically begin with a network cobbled together on a shoestring budget. Lacking a proper architecture, a series of band-aid fixes often get piled on top of a weak foundation. As a company grows, reliability and expandability problems can undermine the productivity of the business. These networks need proper evaluation, intelligent business planning, and in-depth experience to upgrade to a network infrastructure that can provide the reliable foundation to handle critical business requirements and support downstream expansion.

• Partner with Solution Consultants, Not Product Resellers
  Smaller businesses require guidance and education to work through an increasingly complicated array of IT alternatives offered for accelerating growth and improving productivity. Businesses do not need an IT engineer or service organization that tries to promote a product. Progent avoids conflicted motives by not reselling any products. Progent offers services and expertise only. This allows Progent to match consulting services with the real needs of customers. Mixing network consulting and product reselling can lead to a conflict where the proposed solution is built around a preselected technology rather than being based on the actual needs of a small business.
