Benefits of Progent's Network Help for Organizations in Ottawa Ontario
Progent's remote technical help services allow your Ottawa company to realize the benefits of immediate, expert network support without the cost of maintaining a full-time IT staff. Your network will derive added strategic value by becoming more available, productive, and protected. Advantages to your company include:
- Convenient remote expansion of your local support resources
For most companies in Ottawa Ontario, nearby computer support resources, whether consisting of independent consultants or an in-house IT staff, can handle typical network issues. However, major troubles might spring up when local support personnel are too busy or absent, and some trouble may stem from technology that is unfamiliar to your usual support technicians. In these cases, Progent's online service specialists provide an easy, quick, and budget-friendly way to supplement your regular resources and to convey valuable knowledge to improve your ability to deal with future problems locally.
- Reduced Dependence on Freelance Consultants
For IT maintenance, smaller companies commonly rely on individual freelance consultants. While freelance service people have smaller overhead than big support firms and can afford to charge lower rates, they are often stretched too thin, making it impossible to respond quickly to crisis situations. If an independent service provider is busy with another client, sick, on vacation, or in class, the absence of reserve help may force your business to go without help during an IT crisis. As your company grows, network downtime and trouble with critical software become more costly. The money you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be consumed quickly by reduced productivity. Progent provides a reliable source of backup support experts to insure your IT system remains up and running.
- Build a Solid Foundation for Smooth Growth
Businesses often begin with an information system created on a modest budget. Without a scalable infrastructure, band-aid fixes can get piled on top of a weak foundation. When a network grows, reliability and scalability issues can hinder the success of the organization. Such badly built environments need proper assessment, smart long-term planning, and wide technical expertise to upgrade to a network architecture able to deliver the solid foundation to handle current business demands and simplify downstream growth.
- Work with Problem Solvers Rather Than Technology Vendors
Smaller organizations require advice and technical education to navigate through an ever more complicated array of technology alternatives available for accelerating business growth and enhancing productivity. These companies do not need a network consultant who is attempting to resell a specific vendor's technology. Network consulting and product sales can result in a scenario where the proposed
solution is built around a predetermined product instead of the genuine requirements of a client. Progent eliminates these dilemmas by selling just services instead of products. This allows Progent to align IT expertise with the real needs of customers.
What Makes Progent Unique from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support firm and Progent's head count, depth of IT experience, refined remote support tools, and familiarity with corporate IT allow companies to escape the limitations associated with exclusive reliance on smaller service firms, individual freelance consultants, or limited in-house IT help.
Progent stands out by providing:
- In-depth Expertise in Microsoft's Complete Family of Servers
Progent can provide in-depth expertise for Microsoft's leading server products with services such as Microsoft Windows Server 2022 planning and migration services, Windows Server 2019 migration consulting, Windows Server 2016 hybrid cloud solutions, Windows 2012 R2 Server migration and deployment support services, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 migration, Windows 2003 maintenance, Microsoft Exchange 2019 Server deployment, Microsoft Exchange 2016 Server migration, Exchange 2013 configuration, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 management, Exchange 2007 Server and Exchange 2003 Server migration, plus Microsoft SQL Server 2019 integration expertise, Microsoft SQL Server 2017 planing and migration, Microsoft SQL Server 2016 integration, Microsoft SQL Server 2014 consulting support, and SQL Server management support.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing model is to bill for phone service and on-site help per minute. As a result, you are billed just for delivered support. Progent does not impose a more expensive rate for after-hours or urgent support, and inside California or in areas where Progent provides on-site support, Progent does not bill for travel except for emergency calls where on-site work is less than four hours. Also, Progent imposes no initialization fee and requires no monthly commitment for services delivered during regular business hours. Many support organizations impose large minimum payments or charge for every quarter hour or longer. Progent's fine granularity does away with large invoices for quick fixes so you won't be tempted to permit less critical problems to fester.
- Full Documentation of Delivered Services
Progent has developed a sophisticated support reporting system that stores and organizes complete documentation for all billed support activities. Unlike many independent consultants or local support firms who offer minimal documentation or specifics of services performed, each service delivered by Progent is tracked by comprehensive documentation. Every Progent staff member has use of the support documentation sent by each consultant to each client. The discipline of detailing and archiving support activity results in more efficient support and eliminates a slew of common problems such as when a support client is effectively held hostage to a consultant who refuses to release vital service information.
- Remote Network Monitoring with MS Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few IT service companies to offer round-the-clock network monitoring services powered by Microsoft System Center Operations Manager. Microsoft Operations Manager allows your network support to be anticipatory rather than reactive. By anticipating possible problems before they cause downtime, network monitoring can save your information network from painful and costly service losses.
