Benefits of Progent's IT Support for Offices in Edmonton Alberta
Progent's online IT consulting services enable your Edmonton company to enjoy the advantages of immediate, expert network support without the expense of maintaining an in-house IT organization. Your information system will acquire added business worth by being increasingly available, efficient, and protected. Advantages to your company include:
- Seamless virtual extension of your local support resources
With most organizations in Edmonton Alberta, local network service providers, whether represented by independent consultants or an internal IT staff, can take care of typical technical problems. On the other hand, serious problems can strike when local resources are overstretched or unavailable, and some problems may stem from IT products that is beyond the scope of your usual service personnel. In these situations, Progent's on-call support professionals offer an easy, fast, and economical solution to augment your regular help and to convey valuable information to increase your capability to handle future problems locally.
- Less Dependence on Freelance Consultants
For IT support, smaller businesses commonly depend on independent freelance service providers. While freelance consultants carry less internal costs than larger support organizations and can often charge marginally less, they are occasionally overextended, making it difficult to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If a freelance service provider is busy with another client, ill, on vacation, or in training, the absence of backup personnel may force your business to go without help during an IT crisis. As your business expands, system downtime and problems with vital applications are more costly. The budget you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be eaten up quickly by lost productivity. Progent provides a ready source of backup service experts to make sure your network is always up and running.
- Create a Scalable Foundation for Seamless Expansion
Businesses often start with an information architecture implemented on a shoestring budget. Without a robust infrastructure, slap-dash repairs often get thrown onto an unstable foundation. When a network grows, reliability and scalability problems can hinder the success of the business. These badly built environments require careful assessment, intelligent strategic planning, and extensive technical knowledge to evolve to a system architecture able to provide the stable foundation to handle critical business demands and ease downstream growth.
- Work with Solution Providers Rather Than Product Sellers
Smaller offices need advice and technical education to negotiate an ever more complicated maze of technology options capable of promoting business growth and enhancing efficiency. They do not need a computer engineer who is attempting to sell a certain vendor's technology. Network consulting and product sales can lead to a scenario where the recommended
solution is built around a predetermined product rather than the genuine needs of a client. Progent avoids these conflicts by offering just services instead of products. This enables Progent to align IT consulting with the best needs of clients.
What Makes Progent Different from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner support company and Progent's head count, breadth of technical knowledge, refined support software, and familiarity with enterprise networking enable offices to escape the limitations of excessive dependence on smaller consulting firms, individual freelance service providers, or limited in-house IT help.
