Here's how a Progent customer described the benefits of using Progent's remote consulting expertise:

I just want to say thank you to Progent and Chris for the level of support and services your company provided me... As of this year I had plans to upgrade an existing barebones server and migrate my Exchange 2003 server to Exchange 2010 on a virtual environment. I originally didn't have much experience with Exchange 2010 or virtual machines in a production environment and I was unsure how smooth the migration process would go. However, the money that I will eventually save from switching from a bare metal to virtual server installs will basically pay for the IT consulting provided by Progent. This was a win-win situation for me. I saved money from switching from bare metal installs to virtual and basically increased my level of comfort because I knew I would have an expert overlooking the migration process.

I also wanted to note that I have talked to three other IT consultants within my area, but none of them where able to provide the level of support that I was looking for. Out of the three companies, the first one didn't have a lot of experience with Exchange 2010, the second company didn't have a whole lot of experience with Hyper-V and recommended a VMware solution that would cost me a significant amount more, and my third company wanted me to pay a high consulting fee, or pay a lower fee (which was still higher then Progent's fee) if I signed a contract for 100 service hours. The second company that suggested to go with a VMware solution wasn't bad. However, the state board of education allows me to buy into a state license agreement with Microsoft. I was able to buy Microsoft products at a 90% discount. VMware's education discounts couldn't even compare to this, and I would still have to buy more software licenses if I went with VMware. This was basically a no brainer for me. I would definitely recommend Progent to other schools and IT personnel looking for some additional help.
