Benefits of Progent's IT Support for Companies in Detroit Michigan
Progent's online IT consulting services allow your Detroit organization to realize the benefits of on-call, enterprise-class network support without the expense of managing an in-house IT staff. Your network will derive greater business worth by being more reliable, efficient, and protected. Benefits to your business include:
- Convenient remote expansion of your local IT resources
For most offices in Detroit Michigan, local network support resources, whether consisting of outside consultants or an in-house maintenance staff, can handle the majority of technical problems. On the other hand, serious problems sometimes spring up when local support personnel are overstretched or absent, and some problems may stem from IT products that is unfamiliar to your usual service personnel. In these instances, Progent's on-call support professionals provide an easy, quick, and affordable way to supplement your regular resources and to convey valuable knowledge to increase your capability to resolve future problems locally.
- Reduced Dependence on Individual Service Providers
For IT maintenance, smaller businesses commonly rely on individual freelance service providers. Although freelance service people carry smaller internal costs than big consulting firms and can often charge marginally less, they are occasionally overbooked, making it difficult to respond rapidly to crisis situations. If an independent consultant is occupied with another customer, sick, on a trip, or in class, the lack of fallback personnel may require your company to wait for assistance during an emergency. As your company grows, system unavailability and problems with critical applications are more costly. The budget you thought you were saving on an independent can be eaten up quickly by lost productivity. Progent provides an on-call source of reserve support experts to insure your IT system remains up and running.
- Create a Solid Foundation for Seamless Expansion
Companies typically begin with an information architecture created on a shoestring budget. Without a robust infrastructure, slap-dash fixes often get thrown on top of an unstable foundation. As a company grows, reliability and expandability issues can impede the productivity of the organization. Such badly built systems require careful analysis, smart long-term planning, and broad-based IT knowledge to upgrade to a system architecture that can deliver the solid foundation to meet critical business requirements and facilitate future growth.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Instead of Technology Resellers
Smaller organizations require guidance and technical training to negotiate an increasingly complex array of technology options capable of promoting business growth and improving productivity. They hardly need a computer engineer who is attempting to resell a specific vendor's technology. Network consulting and product sales can result in a scenario where the proposed
solution is designed around a profitable technology rather than the true needs of a client. Progent avoids these dilemmas by selling only services instead of products. This enables Progent to align IT consulting with the real needs of clients.
How Is Progent Different from Other Support Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner support company and Progent's staff size, depth of IT expertise, fine tuned support software, 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 IT help.

Also, Progent imposes no startup charge and asks no retainer for services provided during normal working hours. Many support organizations impose large minimum fees or charge for each fifteen minutes or longer.
