Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Businesses in Grand Rapids
Progent's online network troubleshooting services allow your Grand Rapids organization to enjoy the benefits of on-call, enterprise-level network support without the expense of managing an in-house IT staff. Your network will derive added business worth by being increasingly reliable, efficient, and secure. Benefits to your business include:

  • Convenient virtual extension of your local support resources
    With most offices in Grand Rapids and throughout Michigan, local computer support providers, whether consisting of freelance consultants or an in-house IT staff, can handle typical technical problems. On the other hand, major troubles might strike when local support personnel are too busy or unavailable, and some problems may be associated with IT products that is unfamiliar to your usual support technicians. In these cases, Progent's on-call service specialists provide a convenient, quick, and economical solution to augment your regular resources and to pass on useful knowledge to increase your ability to deal with future problems locally.

  • Reduced Reliance on Freelance Service Providers
    For IT support, smaller organizations often depend on individual freelance consultants. Although independent service people have smaller overhead than big support companies and can afford to charge lower rates, they are occasionally overbooked, making it impossible to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If a freelance consultant is busy with another client, ill, on vacation, or in training, the lack of reserve help may require your business to wait for assistance during an IT crisis. As your business grows, network unavailability and trouble with critical applications become more costly. The money you thought you were saving on an independent can be consumed quickly by lost productivity. Progent offers a dependable source of reserve service experts to insure your IT system remains up and running.

  • Create a Scalable Basis for Seamless Growth
    Businesses typically begin with an IT architecture implemented on a modest budget. Lacking a proper framework, band-aid repairs often get piled on top of an unstable foundation. When a network grows, stability and scalability problems can hinder the productivity of the organization. Such poorly built systems require careful assessment, intelligent long-term planning, and broad-based technical expertise to evolve to a network infrastructure that can provide the stable foundation to meet current business demands and facilitate downstream growth.

  • Interact with Problem Solvers Instead of Technology Vendors
    Smaller companies need advice and technical education to navigate through an increasingly complex array of technology options available for accelerating business success and enhancing efficiency. Businesses do not need a computer consultant who is attempting to sell a certain 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 business. Progent eliminates these dilemmas by selling only services rather than products. This allows Progent to align technical consulting with the real needs of customers.

How Is Progent Different from Other Support Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner support firm and Progent's staff size, breadth of IT background, refined support software, and understanding of corporate IT allow companies to escape the limitations of excessive reliance on smaller consulting organizations, independent freelance consultants, or limited internal resources.

In addition, Progent imposes no service activation fee and asks no monthly commitment for support services provided during regular business hours. Many service organizations demand substantial minimum payments or charge for every quarter hour or longer. Progent's fine granularity does away with large invoices for fast fixes so you won't be forced to permit minor problems to stay unaddressed.

  • Full Records of Delivered Services
    Progent has created a sophisticated service reporting system that records and formats detailed documentation for all delivered support activities. Unlike many independent consultants or small service firms who provide scant documentation or details of services done, every service provided by Progent is accompanied by comprehensive documentation. Every Progent consultant has access to the service reports sent by each staff member to every client. The discipline of documenting and organizing service records results in more effective service and avoids a slew of common misfortunes such as when a service customer is virtually held hostage to a consultant who won’t let go of the keys to the kingdom.

  • Remote Server Monitoring with MS Operations Manager
    Progent is one of the only consulting companies to provide 24x7 network tracking services powered by Microsoft System Center Operations Manager. MS Operations Manager causes your network maintenance to be proactive instead of reactive. By revealing possible problems before they cause lost productivity, network monitoring can save your information network from painful and expensive availability disruptions.
