Progent offers technical support for mid-size companies who have 100 to 250 system clients. The medium size company or work group has typically been an overlooked part of the market for network consulting expertise. The overhead and support access models of large outside service organizations make them too costly for the ordinary mid-size business or small medium business (SMB), which usually has a modest IT budget with which to support an IT network whose complexity and sophistication are often comparable to the networks of far bigger enterprises. Progent's support delivery model, which takes full advantage of online support, virtual office infrastructure and 24x7 server monitoring, dramatically lowers the IT support costs of an SMB while providing the small organization with enterprise-level service from certified, IT experts with background in a wide range of small business technologies. If your mid-sized company or small business is searching for levels of IT support needed by a mid-size office without paying enterprise costs, you need Progent.
