Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Businesses in Detroit Michigan
Progent's online IT consulting services enable your Detroit company to have the advantages of on-call, world-class IT support without the cost of maintaining an in-house IT organization. Your information system will acquire greater business worth by becoming more available, productive, and secure. Advantages to your business include:

• Convenient virtual expansion of your local support resources
  For most businesses in Detroit Michigan, local computer support providers, whether consisting of independent consultants or a full-time maintenance staff, can solve typical technical issues. On the other hand, IT crises can occur when local resources are too busy or absent, and some trouble may be associated with technology that is beyond the scope of your usual service technicians. In these instances, Progent's on-call service specialists offer a convenient, quick, and economical solution to supplement your local help and to transfer valuable information to increase your ability to handle downstream issues in-house.

• Reduced Reliance on Freelance Service Providers
  For IT support, smaller organizations often rely on individual freelance service providers. While independent service people have smaller overhead than larger service companies and can afford to charge marginally less, they are occasionally overbooked, making it difficult to respond quickly to crisis situations. If an independent consultant is occupied with another customer, sick, on vacation, or in training, the lack of reserve personnel may require your company to go without help during an emergency. As your business expands, system downtime and trouble with critical applications become more costly. The budget you thought you were saving on a freelancer can be consumed quickly by lost productivity. Progent offers an on-call source of reserve service expertise to insure your IT system stays available.

• Build a Scalable Basis for Smooth Expansion
  Organizations typically start with an IT architecture implemented on a shoestring budget. Lacking a scalable infrastructure, slap-dash repairs can get piled onto an unstable foundation. When a network grows, stability and scalability problems can hinder the success of the organization. Such badly built systems require careful assessment, smart long-term planning, and wide IT knowledge to evolve to a network infrastructure that can deliver the solid foundation to meet vital business requirements and ease future growth.

• Work with Problem Solvers Rather Than Product Sellers
  Smaller businesses need advice and technical training to negotiate an ever more complicated array of product alternatives capable of accelerating business growth and improving efficiency. These companies do not need a computer consultant who is trying to earn a commission on a specific vendor's technology. Network consulting and product selling can result in a situation where the proposed solution is built around a predetermined technology instead of the genuine requirements of a business. Progent eliminates these conflicts of interest by selling just services instead of products. This allows Progent to align technical expertise with the real needs of customers.

What Makes Progent Unique from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting company and Progent's head count, depth of technical experience, fine tuned support software, and understanding of enterprise networking enable offices to avoid the limitations associated with excessive reliance on smaller service firms, independent freelance service providers, or limited in-house resources.

In addition, Progent applies no initialization charge and requires no monthly commitment for support services delivered during normal business hours. Many service firms impose substantial minimum fees or charge for each quarter hour or longer. Progent's fine granularity does away with large bills for fast repairs so you will not be forced to allow minor problems to stay unaddressed.

• Knowledge Transfer
  Progent is committed to knowledge transfer from Progent's support experts to clients. By educating customers to handle problems that are within their comfort zone, Progent can focus on delivering high-value skills where Progent faces few competitors. Companies who work with familiar independent consultants or who employ internal support staffs benefit when Progent passes on knowledge about new technology and tested processes to make their networks more robust, secure, and productive.

• Automated Server Monitoring with MS Operations Manager
  Progent is one of the few IT service firms to provide 24x7 system monitoring services based on Microsoft Operations Manager.

By uncovering potential issues before they result in lost productivity, system monitoring can keep your information network from painful and expensive availability disruptions.
