Benefits of Progent's IT Support for Companies in Des Moines Iowa
Progent's online technical help services allow your Des Moines business to enjoy the advantages of timely, expert IT support without the cost of managing a full-time IT organization. Your information system will acquire greater business worth by being increasingly reliable, productive, and protected. Advantages to your business include:
- Seamless virtual extension of your local support resources
With most offices in Des Moines Iowa, local computer service providers, whether consisting of independent consultants or an internal IT staff, can handle the majority of network issues. However, IT crises may occur when local support personnel are overstretched or unavailable, and some problems may stem from IT products that is unfamiliar to your onsite service technicians. In these situations, Progent's on-call support experts give you a convenient, quick, and affordable solution to augment your regular resources and to convey valuable knowledge to increase your capability to handle future problems in-house.
- Reduced Reliance on Individual Service Providers
For network support, smaller organizations commonly rely on individual freelance service providers. While independent consultants have smaller internal costs than larger support organizations and can often charge lower rates, they are occasionally overextended, making it hard to respond quickly to urgent situations. If an independent service provider is occupied with another customer, sick, on vacation, or in class, the lack of reserve help may require your company to go without help during an emergency. As your business grows, system downtime and problems with critical applications are more expensive. The budget you thought you were conserving on an independent can be consumed fast by lost productivity. Progent offers an on-call source of backup service expertise to make sure your network is always up and running.
- Build a Solid Basis for Smooth Expansion
Businesses often start with an information system created on a shoestring budget. Without a robust framework, band-aid repairs often get thrown on top of an unstable foundation. As a network grows, reliability and expandability problems can impede the success of the organization. These poorly designed environments need proper analysis, intelligent strategic planning, and extensive technical expertise to upgrade to a system architecture able to deliver the solid foundation to meet current business requirements and simplify future expansion.
- Interact with Solution Providers Rather Than Product Resellers
Smaller offices need guidance and technical training to navigate through an ever more complex maze of product options available for accelerating business growth and enhancing productivity. Businesses hardly need a computer engineer who is trying to earn a commission on a specific vendor's products. IT support and product selling can result in a scenario where the proposed
solution is designed around a profitable technology instead of the true needs of a client. Progent eliminates these dilemmas by selling just services instead of products. This enables Progent to match IT consulting with the real interests of clients.
How Is Progent Different from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support firm and Progent's head count, depth of technical expertise, fine tuned support software, and familiarity with enterprise networking allow companies to escape the limitations associated with exclusive reliance on smaller consulting firms, independent freelance consultants, or over-stretched internal IT help.

- Full Records of Delivered Services

Unlike some freelance consultants or local support organizations who provide scant documentation or details of tasks done, each service provided by Progent is accompanied by comprehensive documentation. Each Progent consultant has use of the support reports transmitted by each staff member to every client. The practice of documenting and archiving service activity allows more effective service and avoids a variety of common problems such as when a support client is virtually held hostage to a consultant who won't release vital service information.
- Remote Network Monitoring with MS Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few consulting firms to offer round-the-clock remote tracking services based on MS Operations Manager. Microsoft System Center Operations Manager causes your computer maintenance to be proactive rather than reactive.
