Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Businesses in Downers Grove Illinois
Progent's remote network troubleshooting services enable your Downers Grove business to have the advantages of on-call, enterprise-class network support without the cost of maintaining an in-house IT organization. Your information system will acquire added strategic worth by becoming increasingly available, productive, and secure. Benefits to your business include:
- Convenient remote extension of your on-site IT resources
With most organizations in Downers Grove Illinois, nearby computer support providers, whether represented by freelance consultants or an internal maintenance staff, can take care of the majority of technical issues. On the other hand, IT crises might spring up when your regular resources are overstretched or unavailable, and some trouble may be associated with IT products that is beyond the scope of your onsite service technicians. In these cases, Progent's on-call support specialists offer a convenient, quick, and economical way to supplement your local resources and to convey valuable information to improve your ability to resolve future problems locally.
- Reduced Reliance on Individual Consultants
For IT support, smaller offices commonly depend on individual freelance service providers. While freelance service people carry less internal costs than big service firms and can often charge lower rates, they are often overextended, making it hard to respond rapidly to crisis situations. If an independent service provider is occupied with another client, ill, on a trip, or in training, the lack of backup personnel may force your company to wait for help during an IT crisis. As your business grows, system unavailability and trouble with vital applications are more expensive. The budget you thought you were conserving on an independent can be eaten up quickly by lost productivity. Progent offers a ready source of reserve service experts to insure your network stays up and running.
- Build a Scalable Basis for Seamless Growth
Organizations often start with an IT system implemented on a modest budget. Without a robust framework, band-aid fixes can get thrown onto a shaky foundation. When a network grows, reliability and expandability issues can hinder the success of the business. Such badly built environments need proper assessment, intelligent long-term planning, and broad-based technical expertise to evolve to a system infrastructure that can provide the solid foundation to meet vital business requirements and facilitate future expansion.
- Work with Solution Providers Instead of Technology Resellers
Smaller organizations need guidance and technical education to negotiate an ever more complex array of product options available for accelerating business success and improving efficiency. Businesses do not need a network consultant who is trying to resell a specific vendor's technology. IT consulting and product sales can result in a scenario where the proposed
solution is built around a profitable technology rather than the true needs of a client. Progent avoids these conflicts of interest by offering just services instead of products. This enables Progent to match technical consulting with the real needs of customers.
How Is Progent Unique from Other Support Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support company and Progent's staff size, range of IT background, refined support tools, and understanding of corporate IT allow offices to escape the limitations associated with exclusive dependence on smaller consulting firms, individual freelance service providers, or over-stretched internal resources.
Progent stands out by offering:
- Proven Methodology
Progent’s staff of Microsoft and Cisco Premier Certified consultants average more than ten years of real-world industry experience, at the forefront of network service, performing a broad range of technical tasks for an extensive mix of customers. Each Progent consultant shares a refined set of personal best practices which are combined into shared best practices training that Progent instills in its support team. This guarantees that you get not only expert IT skills, but also a consultant with field-tested approaches for using technical knowledge to fix actual IT problems rapidly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing model is to charge for remote support and on-premises visits by the minute. Consequently, you are charged only for delivered services. Progent does not impose a more expensive rate for after-hours or emergency support, and inside California or in regions where Progent provides on-premises service, Progent does not charge for travel except for urgent support where on-site time is less than four hours. In addition, Progent imposes no minimum charge and requires no monthly commitment for support services delivered during normal working hours. Many service organizations impose substantial minimum payments or charge for every fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity eliminates large bills for fast repairs so you won't be tempted to allow minor problems to fester.
- Full Records of IT Services
Progent has created a sophisticated service reporting system that stores and formats complete documentation for all delivered services. Unlike many freelance consultants or small support firms who offer minimal documentation or details of tasks done, every service provided by Progent is tracked by comprehensive documentation. Every Progent consultant has access to the service documentation sent by each consultant to every client. The practice of detailing and archiving service records results in more efficient support and eliminates a slew of typical misfortunes such as when a service client is effectively held hostage to a consultant who won’t let go of the keys to the kingdom.
- 24x7 Server Monitoring with MS System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few IT service companies to offer round-the-clock system tracking services based on MS System Center Operations Manager. Microsoft System Center Operations Manager causes your computer maintenance to be anticipatory instead of reactive. By uncovering potential issues before they result in downtime, network monitoring can keep your IT network from stressful and expensive availability losses.
