Why Progent Offers the Right Alternative for Fort Collins, Colorado Businesses
Progent's staff size, scope of information technology skill, and familiarity with corporate IT consulting enable small companies to avoid the pitfalls related to excessive dependence on small support organizations or freelance engineers.

Working with Progent allows your company to:

• Avoid Over Reliance on Individual Consultants
  For IT support, smaller businesses often rely heavily on individual consultants. Though individual support providers have lower expenses than more substantial IT service firms and can typically bill apparently smaller rates, individuals are often unable to respond quickly to urgent problems. If an independent consultant is busy with another customer, ill, on travelling, or in class, the absence of backup staff may require your business to go without assistance in case of an emergency. As your company grows, network downtime or problems with line-of-business programs get more expensive. The dollars you thought you were saving on an independent consultant can be eaten up fast because of lost productivity. Also, when independent engineers confront new technologies, the lack of a large engineering group to rely on for advice requires them to train in place while your business ends up with the costs for their continuing education.

• Have Access to Experts in Sophisticated Network Solutions
  Many small service organizations or independent engineers focused on small business network support are capable of delivering routine fixes but lack the seasoning to deal cost-effectively with complex network configurations that have a variety of platforms, multiple offices, Voice over IP systems, remote workforces, integrated financial and operational software, data-driven web sites, and custom line-of-business applications. Progent's experience with global enterprises and Progent's large staff of experts can be valuable to your small business because big-company environments are characteristically complex, integration issues require thorough knowledge in many technical disciplines, and reaching a high degree of robustness, availability, and security requires enterprise-proven processes.

• Build a Firm Basis for Growth
  Small businesses typically start with a network implemented on a tight budget. Without a carefully designed architecture, a sequence of ad hoc repairs often get tossed onto of a marginal structure. As a company grows, reliability and scalability issues can undermine the success of the organization. These networks require thorough assessment, intelligent business analysis, and in-depth experience to upgrade to an IT infrastructure that can act as the reliable foundation to meet current business needs and support future growth.

• Partner with Solution Finders, Not Product Vendors
  Small businesses need guidance and education to work through an increasingly complicated array of IT options available for accelerating business growth and improving efficiency. They do not need an IT engineer or support firm that tries to promote a product. Progent eliminates conflicts of interest by not selling any products. Progent offers services and expertise only. This permits Progent to align technical services with the real needs of customers. Mixing IT support and product reselling can lead to a situation where the proposed solution is built around a predetermined vendor rather than being driven by the actual requirements of a client.
