Why Progent Is the Smart Alternative for Olathe, Kansas Small Businesses
Progent's size, depth of technical skill, and familiarity with enterprise network support enable small and midsize companies to sidestep the pitfalls related to over reliance on thinly staffed support firms or freelance engineers.

Working with Progent's Experts allows your business to:

• Prevent Over Dependence on Individual Support Consultants
  For IT support, small businesses sometimes rely heavily on freelance engineers. Although individual support engineers have lower expenses than more substantial support firms and can afford to charge nominally smaller rates, individuals are sometimes unable to react quickly to urgent situations. If a freelance engineer is busy with different customer, sick, on vacation, or in training, the absence of replacement staff may force your company to go without help during a crisis. As your company grows, system downtime or problems with critical programs get more costly. The dollars you believed you were conserving on a freelancer can be eaten up fast because of lower productivity. In addition, when independent engineers confront new technologies, the unavailability of a big consulting team to depend on for help forces them to learn in place while your company winds up with the costs for their continuing education.

• Gain Access to Experts in Complex Network Issues
  The majority of smaller support firms or independent consultants who concentrate on small business IT support are capable of providing routine solutions but lack the background to work efficiently with complex network environments with mixed platforms, numerous locations, Voice over IP implementations, mobile clients, interconnected financial and analytical software, data-driven web sites, and specialized line-of-business software. Progent's experience with worldwide enterprises and Progent's large team of specialists can benefit your company because enterprise networks are characteristically complicated, integration problems require in-depth knowledge in many technical disciplines, and reaching an acceptable level of stability, availability, and security requires industry-tested leading practices.

• Build a Solid Basis for Seamless Growth
  Small companies often start with an IT system cobbled together on a tight budget. Without a strong architecture, a series of improvised fixes often get tossed on top of a marginal foundation. As a company grows, reliability and scalability problems can obstruct the productivity of the business. These networks require proper evaluation, intelligent strategic analysis, and broad-based expertise to migrate to an IT infrastructure that can provide the reliable foundation to meet critical business requirements and ease downstream growth.

• Work with Solution Consultants, Not Product Resellers
  Smaller companies need guidance and insight to navigate through an ever more complex array of technology alternatives offered for enabling growth and enhancing efficiency. They do not need an IT engineer or support organization that tries to sell them products. Progent eliminates conflicts of interest by not reselling any products. Progent offers services and expertise exclusively. This allows Progent to match consulting support services with the real interests of customers. Combining IT support and product reselling can lead to a conflict where the recommended solution is built around a predetermined technology rather than being driven by the true requirements of a small business.
