Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Companies in Kansas City Missouri
Progent's online support services allow your Kansas City organization to realize the advantages of immediate, expert network support without the expense of managing an in-house IT organization. Your network will derive added business value by being increasingly reliable, efficient, and protected. Benefits to your business include:
- Seamless remote expansion of your on-site IT resources
With most organizations in Kansas City Missouri, nearby computer service resources, whether represented by independent consultants or an internal IT staff, can handle typical network problems. However, serious problems may spring up when local resources are too busy or absent, and some trouble may involve IT products that is beyond the scope of your usual support personnel. In these situations, Progent's online support specialists provide a convenient, quick, and budget-friendly way to supplement your regular resources and to convey useful information to increase your ability to resolve downstream issues locally.
- Reduced Reliance on Freelance Service Providers
For network support, smaller businesses often rely on independent freelance consultants. Although independent consultants have less internal costs than larger consulting organizations and can afford to charge lower rates, they are sometimes stretched too thin, making it impossible to respond quickly to urgent situations. If a freelance consultant is busy with another customer, sick, on a trip, or in training, the absence of fallback personnel may require your business to wait for assistance during an emergency. As your business expands, system downtime and problems with critical applications are more expensive. The money you thought you were saving on a freelancer can be eaten up fast by lost productivity. Progent provides a dependable source of reserve service expertise to make sure your IT system stays up and running.
- Create a Scalable Foundation for Seamless Expansion
Businesses often begin with an information system created on a shoestring budget. Lacking a proper infrastructure, band-aid repairs can get thrown on top of an unstable foundation. When a company grows, reliability and scalability problems can hinder the productivity of the organization. Such badly designed systems require proper assessment, intelligent strategic planning, and extensive IT knowledge to evolve to a network infrastructure able to provide the solid foundation to handle critical business requirements and simplify downstream expansion.
- Interact with Solution Providers Rather Than Product Sellers
Smaller offices need advice and technical education to negotiate an ever more complicated array of product options available for accelerating business success and improving efficiency. Businesses do not need a network consultant who is attempting to resell a specific vendor's technology. Network support and product selling can result in a situation where the recommended
solution is built around a profitable technology instead of the true requirements of a business. Progent avoids these dilemmas by selling just services instead of products. This enables Progent to match IT expertise with the best interests of clients.
How Is Progent Unique from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner support company and Progent's head count, depth of technical knowledge, fine tuned remote support software, and familiarity with corporate IT enable businesses to escape the limitations of excessive reliance on smaller consulting firms, independent freelance consultants, or over-stretched in-house resources.

- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to charge for remote support and on-site help per minute. As a result, you are billed only for received support. Progent does not impose a more expensive rate for after-hours or priority support, and within California or in areas where Progent offers on-premises support, Progent does not charge for travel except for emergency support where on-site work is less than four hours. Also, Progent imposes no startup fee and asks no retainer for support services delivered during regular working hours. Many service firms demand large minimum payments or charge for every fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity eliminates big bills for fast fixes so you won't be tempted to permit simple problems to fester.
- Full Documentation of Delivered Services
Progent has created a sophisticated support reporting system that stores and organizes complete documentation for all delivered services. Unlike many freelance consultants or small service organizations who offer minimal documentation or details of services done, each service delivered by Progent is tracked by comprehensive documentation. Every Progent staff member has access to the support documentation transmitted by every consultant to each client. The discipline of documenting and archiving support records results in more efficient support and eliminates a variety of typical misfortunes such as when a service customer is effectively held hostage to a consultant who refuses to let go of the keys to the kingdom.
- 24x7 Network Monitoring with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the only support firms to provide round-the-clock system monitoring services powered by MS Operations Manager.
