Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Organizations in Manhattan Beach California
Progent's online technical help services enable your Manhattan Beach company to have the advantages of on-call, enterprise-grade IT support without the cost of managing an in-house IT organization. Your information system will derive greater business worth by becoming more reliable, efficient, and protected. Advantages to your company include:
- Seamless virtual extension of your local support resources
For most businesses in Manhattan Beach California, local computer service providers, whether represented by independent consultants or an internal IT staff, can solve typical technical issues. However, major troubles can strike when your regular resources are overstretched or unavailable, and some problems may involve technology that is unfamiliar to your local service personnel. In these instances, Progent's on-call support specialists offer a convenient, quick, and affordable way to augment your regular help and to convey useful information to improve your ability to handle downstream problems locally.
- Reduced Reliance on Freelance Service Providers
For IT maintenance, smaller offices often depend on individual freelance consultants. While freelance consultants have smaller overhead than big consulting firms and can often charge lower rates, they are sometimes overbooked, making it difficult to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If a freelance consultant is busy with another client, sick, on vacation, or in training, the lack of backup help may require your company to wait for help during an IT crisis. As your company expands, system unavailability 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 provides a ready source of backup service expertise to insure your IT system stays up and running.
- Build a Solid Basis for Smooth Growth
Businesses often start with an IT system implemented on a modest budget. Without a robust infrastructure, band-aid fixes often get piled on top of a weak foundation. As a network grows, reliability and scalability issues can impede the success of the organization. These poorly built systems need careful assessment, smart long-term planning, and extensive technical expertise to upgrade to a network infrastructure able to provide the solid foundation to handle critical business demands and simplify future growth.
- Work with Problem Solvers Rather Than Technology Sellers
Smaller offices need advice and technical training to navigate through an increasingly complicated array of product alternatives available for promoting business success and improving productivity. They do not need a computer consultant who is attempting to earn a commission on a specific vendor's technology. Network support and product selling can lead to a scenario where the proposed
solution is designed around a profitable technology instead of the true needs of a client. Progent eliminates these dilemmas by offering just services rather than products. This allows Progent to match technical expertise with the real needs of customers.
How Is Progent Different from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting company and Progent's staff size, breadth of technical expertise, fine tuned support tools, and understanding of corporate IT allow businesses to avoid the limitations of excessive reliance on smaller service organizations, independent freelance consultants, or over-stretched internal resources.
Progent adds value by providing:

Also, Progent imposes no service activation charge and requires no retainer for support services provided during regular working hours. Many service firms impose large minimum fees or charge for each quarter hour or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity avoids large bills for quick repairs so you won't be forced to permit less critical problems to stay unaddressed.
- Knowledge Transfer
Progent is committed to knowledge transfer from Progent's support experts to customers. By educating customers to resolve technical issues that are within their comfort zone, Progent can concentrate on offering high-value services where Progent has few competitors. Businesses who utilize trusted freelance consultants or who employ internal support personnel benefit when Progent passes on information about critical technology and tested methodologies to make their networks more robust, protected, and efficient.
- Remote Network Monitoring with Microsoft Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few consulting companies to offer 24x7 remote monitoring services based on MS System Center Operations Manager.
