Why Progent Offers the Right Alternative for Memphis, Tennessee Businesses
Progent's staff size, depth of information technology skill, and familiarity with enterprise IT support enable small companies to avoid the problems related to excessive dependence on small service firms or freelance consultants.

Working with Progent enables your business to:

• Prevent Over Reliance on Freelance Consultants
  For IT services, small companies often rely excessively on freelance consultants. Although freelance service engineers carry lower expenses than more substantial IT service organizations and can afford to charge nominally smaller fees, they are frequently too busy to respond quickly to critical problems. If an independent consultant is busy with different customer, ill, on travelling, or in training, the lack of backup personnel may force your business to go without assistance during a crisis. The more your small business grows, system unavailability or difficulties with critical applications become more costly. The dollars you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be eaten up quickly because of lower output. Also, when freelance consultants encounter unfamiliar problems, the lack of a big engineering group to rely on for assistance requires them to learn in place while your company winds up footing the bill for their ongoing education.

• Have Access to Expertise in Sophisticated Network Issues
  Many smaller service organizations or freelance engineers focused on small business network support may excel at providing connect-the-dots fixes but lack the seasoning to work efficiently with complicated IT configurations that have a variety of platforms, many offices, VoIP implementations, remote workers, interconnected accounting and operational applications, data-driven web sites, and custom line-of-business applications. Progent's experience with worldwide enterprises and Progent's extensive staff of experts can benefit your small business because big-company environments are inherently complex, support issues require in-depth understanding of in numerous technical areas, and achieving an acceptable level of stability, availability, and security requires enterprise-tested processes.

• Create a Solid Basis for Seamless Growth
  Small businesses often begin with an IT system implemented on a shoestring budget. Lacking a carefully designed architecture, a sequence of ad hoc fixes often get piled onto of a weak foundation. As a business evolves, stability and expandability issues can hinder the success of the organization. Such environments need proper evaluation, smart strategic planning, and in-depth experience to upgrade to a network environment that will provide the solid basis to handle critical business requirements and support future growth.

• Team with Solution Consultants, Not Product Vendors
  Small businesses require direction and insight to work through an ever more complex array of technology alternatives available for enabling business growth and improving productivity. Businesses do not need a network engineer or service organization that tries to promote a product. Progent eliminates conflicted motives by not selling any products. Progent sells consulting and services only. This allows Progent to align technical support with the genuine needs of clients. Mixing IT support and product reselling can lead to a situation where the proposed solution is built around a predetermined technology instead of being driven by the true requirements of a client.
