Why Progent Is the Smart Choice for Jackson, Mississippi Businesses
Progent's staff size, scope of information technology skill, and familiarity with enterprise network support allow small businesses to avoid the pitfalls associated with over dependence on thinly staffed service organizations or individual engineers.

Teaming with Progent allows your company to:

• Prevent Over Reliance on Freelance Consultants
  For network services, smaller businesses sometimes depend excessively on independent consultants. Though freelance service providers have lower expenses than more substantial IT service firms and can afford to bill nominally lower fees, they are occasionally spread too thin to respond quickly to critical situations. If an independent consultant is busy with another customer, sick, on travelling, or in class, the absence of backup staff may force your business to wait for help in case of an emergency. As your small business expands, network downtime or problems with critical applications become more expensive. The dollars you believed you were conserving on an independent consultant can be eaten up fast because of lower productivity. Also, when freelance engineers encounter new technologies, the lack of a large consulting team to rely on for advice requires them to train on the job while your business winds up with the costs for their continuing education.

• Have Access to Experts in Sophisticated Network Issues
  The majority of smaller support organizations or independent consultants focused on small business network support are capable of providing routine fixes but don't have the background to deal efficiently with complicated network environments that have mixed operating systems, numerous sites, VoIP systems, remote workforces, integrated accounting and operational software, data-driven web sites, and custom business software. Progent's background with global companies and Progent's extensive team of experts can benefit your small business because enterprise environments are inherently complicated, support issues require in-depth knowledge in many technical areas, and achieving a high level of robustness, reliability, and protection requires industry-proven processes.

• Create a Firm Foundation for Seamless Growth
  Small companies typically begin with a network cobbled together on a shoestring budget. Without a carefully designed basis, a sequence of improvised fixes commonly get thrown on top of a weak foundation. As a business grows, stability and expandability issues can hinder the success of the organization. Such networks need thorough assessment, smart business analysis, and broad-based experience to upgrade to an IT environment that will provide the reliable foundation to meet current business requirements and ease downstream growth.

• Work with Solution Consultants, Not Product Resellers
  Small companies need direction and insight to work through an ever more complicated array of technology alternatives offered for enabling business growth and improving efficiency. They do not need a network engineer or service firm that attempts to sell them a product. Progent avoids conflicted motives by not reselling any products. Progent provides services and expertise exclusively. This allows Progent to match consulting support with the real interests of clients. Mixing network support and product selling can lead to a situation where the proposed solution is based on a preselected vendor rather than being driven by the actual requirements of a small business.
