Benefits of Progent's IT Support for Companies in Downers Grove Illinois
Progent's remote IT consulting services enable your Downers Grove business to have the benefits of timely, expert IT support without the cost of managing a full-time IT staff. Your information system will acquire added strategic worth by becoming more available, efficient, and secure. Benefits to your business include:
- Convenient remote expansion of your local support resources
For most organizations in Downers Grove Illinois, local computer service providers, whether consisting of outside consultants or a full-time maintenance staff, can take care of typical technical problems. On the other hand, IT crises may occur when your regular resources are overstretched or unavailable, and some trouble may be associated with IT products that is unfamiliar to your local support technicians. In these instances, Progent's on-call service experts offer an easy, fast, and economical way to augment your regular resources and to convey valuable information to improve your ability to handle future problems locally.
- Less Dependence on Freelance Consultants
For IT support, smaller businesses commonly depend on individual freelance service providers. Although freelance consultants carry smaller overhead than larger support companies and can often charge lower rates, they are often overbooked, making it hard to respond quickly to crisis situations. If an independent service provider is busy with another customer, ill, on a trip, or in class, the lack of fallback help may force your business to wait for assistance during an emergency. As your network grows, system downtime and problems with critical applications become more costly. The budget you thought you were saving on an independent can be consumed fast by lost productivity. Progent offers a ready source of backup service expertise to insure your IT system stays up and running.
- Build a Solid Foundation for Smooth Growth
Organizations often begin with an information system implemented on a shoestring budget. Without a strong framework, slap-dash repairs often get thrown on top of a weak foundation. When a network grows, reliability and expandability issues can hinder the success of the business. These poorly designed systems require careful analysis, intelligent long-term planning, and wide IT knowledge to upgrade to a network architecture that can deliver the solid foundation to meet vital business demands and ease future growth.
- Work with Problem Solvers Instead of Product Sellers
Smaller businesses require guidance and technical education to navigate through an ever more complicated maze of product alternatives available for promoting business growth and enhancing productivity. These companies hardly need a computer engineer who is attempting to sell a specific vendor's products. IT support and product sales can result in a scenario where the proposed
solution is built around a predetermined technology rather than the genuine requirements of a client. Progent eliminates these conflicts by offering only services rather than products. This enables Progent to match technical consulting with the real needs of clients.
What Makes Progent Different from Other Support Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting company and Progent's number of employees, breadth of technical knowledge, fine tuned support tools, and familiarity with corporate IT enable businesses to avoid the pitfalls associated with exclusive dependence on smaller consulting organizations, individual freelance service providers, or over-stretched in-house IT help.
Progent adds value by providing:
- Best Practices
Progent's staff of Microsoft and Cisco Premier Certified consultants average longer than a decade of real-world professional background, at the front lines of network service, executing a wide range of IT projects for an extensive mix of businesses. Every Progent support professional shares a refined set of personal best practices which are combined into shared best practices training that Progent teaches its consulting team. This means that you get not just expert IT help, but also a support engineer with proven approaches for using computer knowledge to repair real-world network problems efficiently.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to bill for phone service and on-site visits per minute. As a result, you are invoiced just for delivered support. Progent does not demand a more expensive rate for off-hours or priority support, and within California or in areas where Progent offers on-site service, Progent does not bill for travel except for emergency calls where on-site work is less than 4 hours. In addition, Progent imposes no minimum charge and requires no retainer for support services delivered during regular business hours. Many service firms demand large minimum payments or charge for every fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's fine granularity eliminates big invoices for quick repairs so you will not be forced to permit simple problems to stay unaddressed.
- Complete Documentation of IT Services
Progent has developed a sophisticated support 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 specifics of tasks done, every service delivered by Progent is tracked by full documentation. Every Progent consultant has access to the support documentation sent by each staff member to each client. The discipline of detailing and archiving support activity allows more effective service and eliminates a variety of typical problems such as when a service client is virtually held hostage to a consultant who won't release the keys to the kingdom.
- 24x7 Server Monitoring with Microsoft Operations Manager
Progent is one of the only IT service companies to offer round-the-clock system tracking services powered by MS System Center Operations Manager. MS System Center Operations Manager allows your computer support to be anticipatory rather than reactive. By revealing possible issues before they result in lost productivity, system monitoring can keep your information network from painful and expensive availability losses.
