Why Progent Offers the Smart Choice for Hollywood, Florida Businesses
Progent's staff size, breadth and depth of technical expertise, and experience with corporate network support allow small businesses to avoid the pitfalls associated with excessive dependence on thinly staffed service firms or freelance consultants.

Teaming with Progent enables your small business to:

• Prevent Excessive Reliance on Freelance Consultants
  For network support, smaller businesses sometimes depend heavily on individual consultants. Although freelance service providers have lower overhead than larger IT service firms and can afford to charge nominally smaller rates, they are sometimes too overworked to react quickly to urgent network problems. If an independent consultant is occupied with another client, ill, on travelling, or in training, the absence of replacement staff may require your business to go without help during a crisis. As your company expands, network unavailability or difficulties with line-of-business applications become more expensive. The money you believed you were saving on an independent consultant can evaporate fast due to lower output. Also, when independent engineers confront unfamiliar problems, the unavailability of a big engineering group to depend on for advice requires them to learn in place while your organization ends up footing the bill for their ongoing education.

• Gain Access to Expertise in Sophisticated Information Technology Solutions
  Many smaller support firms or independent engineers specializing in small company network consulting are capable of delivering routine fixes but don't have the background to work efficiently with complicated network environments with mixed operating systems, numerous locations, Voice over IP systems, mobile workforces, integrated financial and analytical applications, data-driven web sites, and custom business software. Progent's experience with global companies and Progent's large staff of specialists can be valuable to your business because enterprise networks are by nature complicated, support issues demand in-depth knowledge in many technical areas, and achieving an acceptable degree of robustness, availability, and security requires enterprise-tested processes.

• Build a Firm Foundation for Seamless Growth
  Small companies typically start with an IT system implemented on a tight budget. Lacking a carefully designed basis, a series of band-aid fixes commonly get tossed on top of a marginal foundation. As a business grows, stability and scalability issues can obstruct the success of the organization. These environments need proper evaluation, smart business planning, and broad-based expertise to migrate to a network infrastructure that can provide the solid basis to meet current business requirements and ease downstream growth.

• Partner with Solution Finders, Not Resellers
  Small companies require guidance and insight to work through an increasingly complex array of technology alternatives available for accelerating growth and improving productivity. Businesses do not need a network consultant or service firm that attempts to promote products. Progent eliminates conflicted motives by not reselling hardware and software. Progent sells services and expertise exclusively. This allows Progent to align consulting support services with the real interests of customers. Combining network support and product reselling can result in a situation where the proposed solution is based on a predetermined vendor rather than being based on the actual needs of a client.
