Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Companies in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
Progent's remote technical help services enable your Pittsburgh business to have the advantages of timely, enterprise-class IT support without the expense of maintaining an in-house IT staff. Your network will derive greater business value by being increasingly available, productive, and secure. Benefits to your company include:
- Convenient remote extension of your on-site support resources
For most companies in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, local network service providers, whether consisting of independent consultants or an internal IT staff, can take care of the majority of technical issues. However, major troubles may spring up when local support personnel are overstretched or absent, and some trouble may be associated with IT products that is unfamiliar to your onsite support people. In these cases, Progent's online support professionals offer a convenient, quick, and economical way to supplement your local resources and to transfer useful information to improve your capability to handle future problems locally.
- Reduced Dependence on Freelance Service Providers
For network maintenance, smaller companies often rely on independent freelance consultants. While independent consultants have less internal costs than big service organizations and can often charge marginally less, they are often stretched too thin, making it impossible to respond rapidly to crisis situations. If a freelance consultant is busy with another customer, sick, on vacation, or in training, the absence of reserve help may force your company to wait for help during an IT crisis. As your company grows, system downtime and trouble with vital software become more costly. The budget you thought you were saving on an independent can be eaten up fast by reduced productivity. Progent provides a dependable source of reserve support expertise to make sure your network remains up and running.
- Create a Solid Basis for Smooth Expansion
Businesses typically begin with an information architecture implemented on a shoestring budget. Without a scalable infrastructure, slap-dash fixes often get thrown on top of a shaky foundation. When a network grows, stability and scalability issues can hinder the success of the business. Such poorly designed systems need proper assessment, smart strategic planning, and extensive IT knowledge to evolve to a system architecture able to provide the solid foundation to meet critical business requirements and facilitate future expansion.
- Work with Solution Providers Rather Than Product Sellers
Smaller offices require advice and technical training to navigate through an increasingly complicated array of product options capable of promoting business success and improving productivity. Businesses hardly need a network engineer who is trying to earn a commission on a certain vendor's products. Network support and product sales can result in a situation where the recommended
solution is designed around a profitable technology instead of the genuine needs of a client. Progent avoids these conflicts by selling just services instead of products. This enables Progent to align technical consulting with the real interests of clients.
How Is Progent Unique from Other Support Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support company and Progent's staff size, range of technical expertise, fine tuned support tools, and understanding of enterprise networking allow companies to avoid the pitfalls of exclusive reliance on smaller service firms, individual freelance consultants, or over-stretched in-house IT help.
Progent stands out by providing:
- Proven Methodology
Progent’s staff of Microsoft and Cisco Certified consultants average longer than a decade of hands-on industry experience, in the trenches of network service, executing a broad range of technical projects for an extensive mix of businesses. Each Progent consultant shares a proven collection of personal best practices which are combined into shared leading practices training that Progent instills in its support staff. This guarantees that you get not only world-class technical capability, but also a consultant with field-tested approaches for using technical knowledge to fix actual network problems quickly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing model is to charge for remote service and in-person visits by the minute. As a result, you are charged only for received support. Progent does not demand a higher rate for off-hours or emergency service, and within California or in regions where Progent offers in-person support, Progent does not bill for travel except for emergency support where on-site work is less than 4 hours. Also, Progent imposes no service activation fee and asks no monthly commitment for services delivered during regular working hours. Many support firms impose substantial minimum fees or charge for every quarter hour or longer. Progent's fine granularity does away with large bills for quick fixes so you will not be tempted to allow less critical problems to fester.
- Complete Documentation of Delivered Services
Progent has created a sophisticated support reporting system that stores and formats complete documentation for all billed support activities. Unlike many independent consultants or local service firms who offer scant documentation or details of tasks performed, each service provided by Progent is accompanied by full documentation. Each Progent consultant has use of the support reports sent by every consultant to each customer. The discipline of detailing and organizing support activity allows more efficient support and avoids a variety of common problems such as when a support customer is effectively held captive to a consultant who won’t release vital service information.
- Remote Network Monitoring with Microsoft Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few IT service firms to offer round-the-clock system monitoring services powered by MS Operations Manager. MS System Center Operations Manager allows your network support to be proactive rather than reactive. By revealing possible issues before they result in lost productivity, system monitoring can save your IT network from painful and costly availability disruptions.
