Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Businesses in Niterói Rio de Janeiro
Progent's online technical help services allow your Niterói company to experience the advantages of immediate, enterprise-class IT support without the expense of managing an in-house IT staff. Your information system will acquire added business worth by being more reliable, efficient, and protected. Benefits to your business include:
- Convenient virtual expansion of your local support resources
With most companies in Niterói Rio de Janeiro, local network support providers, whether consisting of outside consultants or an in-house IT staff, can solve typical network issues. On the other hand, serious problems may occur when your regular resources are overstretched or unavailable, and some trouble may be associated with IT products that is unfamiliar to your usual support people. In these situations, Progent's on-call service experts give you an easy, quick, and economical solution to supplement your regular resources and to convey useful knowledge to improve your capability to handle downstream problems in-house.
- Less Dependence on Individual Service Providers
For network maintenance, smaller offices often rely on independent freelance consultants. Although independent service people carry less overhead than larger consulting firms and can afford to charge lower rates, they are often overextended, making it impossible to respond rapidly to crisis situations. If an independent consultant is busy with another client, ill, on vacation, or in class, the lack of backup personnel may force your business to wait for help during an IT crisis. As your business expands, network downtime and trouble with vital software are more expensive. The money you thought you were saving on a freelancer can be consumed quickly by lost productivity. Progent provides a dependable source of backup support expertise to insure your network stays available.
- Create a Solid Foundation for Smooth Expansion
Companies often start with an IT architecture implemented on a shoestring budget. Lacking a scalable framework, band-aid fixes can get thrown onto a shaky foundation. As a company grows, reliability and scalability problems can impede the success of the business. These poorly designed environments need proper assessment, intelligent long-term planning, and extensive IT expertise to evolve to a network infrastructure able to provide the stable foundation to handle critical business requirements and simplify downstream expansion.
- Work with Solution Providers Rather Than Technology Vendors
Smaller companies require guidance and technical education to navigate through an ever more complicated maze of technology options available for accelerating business success and enhancing efficiency. Businesses hardly need a network engineer who is trying to earn a commission on a certain vendor's products. IT consulting and product selling can result in a scenario where the recommended
solution is built around a predetermined product rather than the genuine requirements of a business. Progent eliminates these conflicts of interest by selling just services instead of products. This allows Progent to match technical consulting with the best needs of clients.
How Is Progent Different from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting firm and Progent's staff size, range of IT knowledge, refined support software, and understanding of corporate IT enable offices to avoid the limitations of exclusive reliance on smaller service firms, individual freelance consultants, or over-stretched internal resources.
Progent adds value by offering:
- Best Practices
Progent’s team of Microsoft and Cisco Certified consultants average more than a decade of real-world professional background, in the trenches of IT service, executing a wide variety of technical tasks for a large mix of businesses. Each Progent consultant shares a proven collection of personal best practices which are combined into shared best practices training that Progent instills in its support staff. This guarantees that you get not just world-class IT help, but also a support engineer with proven methods for applying computer knowledge to repair actual IT problems rapidly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to bill for phone service and on-site help by the minute. Consequently, you are invoiced exclusively for received support. Progent does not impose a more expensive rate for after-hours or urgent support, and within California or in areas where Progent provides on-premises service, Progent does not bill for travel time except for urgent support where on-site time is less than 4 hours. In addition, Progent imposes no minimum fee and requires no retainer for support services delivered during normal business hours. Many service organizations demand large minimum payments or charge for each quarter hour or longer. Progent's fine granularity eliminates large invoices for quick fixes so you won't be forced to allow less critical problems to stay unaddressed.
- Complete Documentation of IT Services
Progent has developed a comprehensive support reporting system that stores and organizes complete documentation for all billed services. Unlike many freelance consultants or local support organizations who offer scant documentation or details of services done, each service provided by Progent is accompanied by full documentation. Each Progent staff member has use of the support documentation transmitted by each consultant to each client. The discipline of detailing and archiving support activity results in more efficient service and eliminates a slew of typical problems such as when a support client is effectively held hostage to a consultant who won’t let go of the keys to the kingdom.
- 24x7 Server Monitoring with Microsoft Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few IT service firms to offer round-the-clock system tracking services based on Microsoft Operations Manager. Microsoft Operations Manager causes your network support to be anticipatory instead of reactive. By anticipating possible issues before they cause downtime, system monitoring can keep your IT network from stressful and costly availability losses.
