Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Companies in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
Progent's remote support services allow your Pittsburgh company to realize the benefits of immediate, enterprise-class network support without the expense of managing a full-time IT organization. Your information system will acquire added strategic worth by becoming increasingly reliable, productive, and secure. Benefits to your business include:
- Convenient virtual extension of your on-site support resources
With most companies in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, nearby network service resources, whether consisting of outside consultants or a full-time maintenance staff, can resolve the majority of network issues. However, serious problems may strike when local resources are too busy or unavailable, and some problems may stem from technology that is beyond the scope of your usual support people. In these situations, Progent's online support specialists give you an easy, quick, and budget-friendly way to augment your local help and to pass on useful information to increase your capability to deal with downstream problems in-house.
- Reduced Dependence on Individual Service Providers
For network support, smaller offices commonly rely on individual freelance consultants. Although freelance service people carry smaller internal costs than big service organizations and can afford to charge marginally less, they are occasionally overbooked, making it impossible to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If an independent consultant is occupied with another customer, ill, on vacation, or in training, the lack of backup help may force your business to wait for assistance during an emergency. As your network expands, system unavailability and problems with critical software become more expensive. The budget you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be consumed fast by lost productivity. Progent provides a ready source of reserve support expertise to make sure your IT system is always up and running.
- Create a Scalable Foundation for Seamless Expansion
Businesses typically begin with an information system created on a modest budget. Lacking a proper framework, slap-dash fixes often get thrown onto an unstable foundation. When a company grows, reliability and scalability issues can hinder the success of the organization. Such poorly designed environments need proper assessment, smart strategic planning, and extensive IT expertise to upgrade to a system architecture able to provide the stable foundation to handle current business requirements and ease downstream growth.
- Work with Solution Providers Rather Than Product Resellers
Smaller offices require advice and technical education to navigate through an increasingly complicated maze of product alternatives capable of promoting business success and improving efficiency. These companies hardly need a computer engineer who is attempting to earn a commission on a specific vendor's technology. Network support and product sales can result in a scenario where the recommended
solution is designed around a profitable technology instead of the true requirements of a business. Progent eliminates these conflicts by selling only services rather than products. This allows Progent to match technical expertise with the best needs of customers.
How Is Progent Unique from Other Support Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting firm and Progent's number of employees, depth of IT experience, refined support tools, and understanding of enterprise networking allow offices to avoid the limitations associated with excessive dependence on smaller consulting firms, individual freelance service providers, or over-stretched internal IT help.
Progent adds value by providing:
- Proven Methodology
Progent’s team of Microsoft and Cisco Certified experts average longer than a decade of real-world industry experience, in the trenches of IT support, performing a broad range of technical projects for a large mix of businesses. Each Progent consultant shares a proven collection of personal best practices which are incorporated into shared leading practices training that Progent instills in its support staff. This means that you get not just expert technical help, but also a support engineer with field-tested methods for applying technical knowledge to solve actual network problems quickly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing model is to bill for remote service and in-person visits by the minute. Consequently, you are invoiced exclusively for delivered services. Progent does not impose a higher rate for off-hours or emergency support, and inside California or in areas where Progent provides in-person support, Progent does not bill for travel time except for emergency support where on-site work is less than four hours. In addition, Progent applies no initialization charge and asks no retainer for services delivered during normal working hours. Many service organizations demand substantial minimum payments or charge for every quarter hour or longer. Progent's fine granularity avoids big invoices for quick repairs so you will not be tempted to permit simple problems to fester.
- Information Transfer
Progent is committed to knowledge transfer from Progent's support experts to customers. By teaching clients to handle technical issues that are within their comfort zone, Progent is able to concentrate on delivering high-value skills where Progent faces few competitors. Companies who utilize trusted independent consultants or who employ in-house support personnel benefit when Progent transfers knowledge about new technology and tested processes to make their networks more reliable, protected, and efficient.
- 24x7 Network Monitoring with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few consulting companies to provide 24x7 system tracking services based on Microsoft Operations Manager. Microsoft System Center Operations Manager causes your network support to be proactive instead of reactive. By revealing potential issues before they result in lost productivity, system monitoring can keep your information network from painful and expensive availability disruptions.
