Over 20 years of providing remote tech support has led to Microsoft Partner certification for Progent's team of engineers and has enabled Progent to develop high-end troubleshooting skills and to fine tune online connectivity tools to repair computer problems quickly while eliminating the cost and lost time associated with on-site support calls.

Benefits of Progent's IT Support for Offices in Irvine California
Progent's remote technical help services enable your Irvine organization to experience the advantages of on-call, enterprise-class network support without the expense of maintaining an in-house IT organization. Your information system will acquire added strategic worth by becoming more available, efficient, and secure. Benefits to your business include:
- Convenient remote extension of your local IT resources
For most companies in Irvine California, local network service providers, whether consisting of freelance consultants or an internal maintenance staff, can solve the majority of network issues. However, IT crises sometimes strike when your regular resources are too busy or unavailable, and some trouble may be associated with IT products that is unfamiliar to your usual service technicians. In these instances, Progent's on-call service experts give you an easy, quick, and affordable way to augment your regular help and to transfer valuable information to improve your ability to handle future problems locally.
- Less Reliance on Individual Service Providers
For network support, smaller offices often depend on independent freelance consultants. While independent consultants carry smaller overhead than big support companies and can afford to charge lower rates, they are sometimes overbooked, making it hard to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If a freelance service provider is busy with another client, ill, on a trip, or in class, the absence of reserve help may force your business to go without help during an emergency. As your company grows, system downtime and trouble with vital software are more costly. The budget you thought you were saving on a freelancer can be consumed fast by lost productivity. Progent offers an on-call source of backup service experts to make sure your IT system is always available.
- Build a Scalable Foundation for Smooth Growth
Companies often start with an IT architecture created on a modest budget. Without a robust framework, band-aid fixes often get thrown onto a shaky foundation. When a network grows, stability and expandability problems can impede the success of the organization. These badly designed systems need careful assessment, intelligent strategic planning, and broad-based technical knowledge to upgrade to a network infrastructure that can deliver the solid foundation to handle current business demands and ease downstream expansion.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Instead of Technology Resellers
Smaller businesses need advice and technical training to navigate through an increasingly complex array of technology options capable of accelerating business growth and enhancing productivity. They do not need a network consultant who is motivated to sell a certain vendor's technology. IT consulting and product sales can lead to a situation where the proposed
solution is designed around a predetermined product rather than the genuine requirements of a business. Progent avoids these conflicts by selling only services instead of products. This allows Progent to align technical consulting with the real interests of customers.
What Makes Progent Different from Other Support Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support firm and Progent's staff size, range of technical knowledge, fine tuned support software, and familiarity with enterprise networking enable companies to avoid the limitations associated with exclusive dependence on smaller service firms, independent freelance service providers, or over-stretched internal resources.
Progent stands out by providing:
- Proven Methodology
Progent's staff of Microsoft and Cisco Certified experts average more than ten years of hands-on industry background, in the trenches of network support, executing a broad variety of technical tasks for a large array of businesses. Every Progent support professional shares a proven collection of personal best practices which are combined into shared leading practices training that Progent teaches its consulting staff. This guarantees that you get not just world-class technical skills, but also a support engineer with field-tested approaches for using computer knowledge to repair actual network problems quickly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to bill for remote service and on-site help per minute. As a result, you owe just for received services. Progent does not demand a more expensive rate for off-hours or emergency service, and inside California or in areas where Progent offers on-site service, Progent does not charge for travel except for urgent support where on-site work is less than four hours. Also, Progent imposes no initialization fee and requires no monthly commitment for services delivered during normal working hours. Many support organizations impose large minimum fees or charge for each quarter hour or longer. Progent's fine granularity eliminates large invoices for fast repairs so you won't be tempted to allow less critical problems to fester.
- Full Records of IT Services
Progent has developed a sophisticated service reporting system that stores and organizes detailed documentation for all billed support activities. Unlike many freelance consultants or local support firms who provide minimal documentation or details of tasks performed, each service delivered by Progent is accompanied by comprehensive documentation. Every Progent staff member has access to the service reports sent by each staff member to each customer. The discipline of detailing and organizing service records allows more efficient support and eliminates a slew of typical misfortunes such as when a support customer is effectively held hostage to a consultant who refuses to release the keys to the kingdom.
- Remote Server Monitoring with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few consulting firms to provide 24x7 system tracking services powered by Microsoft System Center Operations Manager. MS System Center Operations Manager allows your network support to be proactive rather than reactive. By revealing potential issues before they result in lost productivity, system monitoring can save your information network from stressful and expensive service losses.
