Benefits of Progent's Network Help for Offices in Des Moines Iowa
Progent's online support services enable your Des Moines organization to realize the benefits of timely, enterprise-level IT support without the expense of managing an in-house IT organization. Your information system will acquire greater strategic worth by becoming increasingly available, efficient, and secure. Benefits to your company include:
- Seamless virtual expansion of your on-site IT resources
With most offices in Des Moines Iowa, local network support providers, whether represented by independent consultants or a full-time maintenance staff, can resolve the majority of technical problems. On the other hand, IT crises sometimes spring up when your regular support personnel are too busy or unavailable, and some trouble may involve technology that is unfamiliar to your onsite service people. In these instances, Progent's on-call support experts give you a convenient, quick, and affordable way to supplement your regular resources and to convey valuable knowledge to improve your ability to handle future problems locally.
- Less Reliance on Freelance Consultants
For IT maintenance, smaller offices often depend on individual freelance service providers. Although independent service people carry less overhead than big support organizations and can often charge lower rates, they are often stretched too thin, making it impossible to respond quickly to urgent situations. If an independent consultant is busy with another customer, ill, on a trip, or in training, the absence of reserve help may force your business to go without assistance during an IT crisis. As your business grows, network unavailability and trouble with vital applications are more expensive. The money you thought you were saving on an independent can be eaten up fast by lost productivity. Progent offers a ready source of reserve support expertise to insure your network stays available.
- Create a Solid Basis for Seamless Growth
Companies typically begin with an IT architecture implemented on a modest budget. Lacking a strong infrastructure, slap-dash fixes often get piled onto a shaky foundation. When a network grows, stability and scalability problems can impede the success of the business. Such poorly built environments need careful analysis, intelligent long-term planning, and extensive technical expertise to evolve to a network infrastructure able to deliver the solid foundation to handle critical business demands and facilitate downstream expansion.
- Work with Problem Solvers Rather Than Product Vendors
Smaller offices require guidance and technical education to negotiate an increasingly complicated array of product options capable of accelerating business growth and enhancing productivity. Businesses do not need a computer consultant who is attempting to earn a commission on a specific vendor's technology. Network support and product selling can result in a situation where the recommended
solution is designed around a predetermined product instead of the genuine requirements of a client. Progent eliminates these conflicts of interest by offering only services instead of products. This enables Progent to align technical expertise with the real interests of customers.
What Makes Progent Unique from Other Support Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner consulting firm and Progent's number of employees, depth of IT knowledge, refined support software, and understanding of enterprise networking enable companies to escape the limitations associated with excessive dependence on smaller service organizations, individual freelance service providers, or limited in-house resources.
Progent adds value by providing:

- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to charge for remote support and on-premises help by the minute. As a result, you pay exclusively for delivered support. Progent does not impose a higher rate for off-hours or urgent service, and inside California or in regions where Progent provides on-premises service, Progent does not charge for travel time except for urgent calls where on-site time is less than 4 hours. In addition, Progent imposes no initialization charge and requires no retainer for services delivered during regular business hours. Many support firms impose substantial minimum fees or charge for each fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's fine granularity avoids big invoices for fast repairs so you won't be tempted to permit less critical problems to fester.
- Information Transfer
Progent practices knowledge transfer from Progent's support experts to clients. By teaching customers to deal with problems that are within their scope, Progent is able to focus on delivering high-value services where Progent has little competition. Businesses who work with trusted freelance service providers or who maintain internal IT staffs benefit when Progent passes on knowledge about new technology and tested methodologies to make their networks more reliable, protected, and efficient.
- Automated Network Monitoring with MS Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few IT service companies to offer round-the-clock network monitoring services based on Microsoft Operations Manager. Microsoft System Center Operations Manager causes your computer support to be anticipatory instead of reactive. By anticipating possible issues before they cause downtime, network monitoring can keep your IT network from stressful and expensive service losses.
