Why Progent Offers the Smart Alternative for Portsmouth, Virginia Businesses
Progent's size, scope of information technology expertise, and experience with enterprise IT consulting allow small businesses to avoid the pitfalls related to excessive dependence on small support organizations or freelance consultants.

Teaming with Progent's Experts allows your business to:

• Prevent Excessive Dependence on Individual Support Consultants
  For IT support, small companies often depend excessively on freelance engineers. Though freelance support engineers carry lower expenses than larger IT service organizations and can typically bill nominally lower rates, freelancers are sometimes too overworked to respond quickly to critical network problems. If a freelance engineer is occupied with different customer, ill, on vacation, or in class, the lack of backup personnel may force your company to go without assistance during a crisis. The more your company grows, system downtime or problems with line-of-business programs get more expensive. The money you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be eaten up fast due to lower productivity. Also, when freelance consultants encounter new technologies, the unavailability of a large consulting group to count on for advice forces them to train in place while your business winds up with the bill for their continuing training.

• Gain Access to Certified Professionals in Advanced Information Technology Solutions
  The majority of small service firms or independent consultants who concentrate on small company IT consulting may excel at delivering connect-the-dots solutions but don't have the background to work cost-effectively with complicated network infrastructures with a variety of platforms, numerous sites, Voice over IP implementations, mobile workforces, integrated financial and analytical software, eCommerce, and custom line-of-business applications. Progent's background with worldwide enterprises and Progent's extensive staff of specialists can be valuable to your business because big-company networks are inherently complex, support problems require thorough knowledge in many technical disciplines, and achieving a high degree of stability, availability, and protection calls for enterprise-tested best practices.

• Create a Firm Foundation for Growth
  Small companies often begin with an IT system implemented on a tight budget. Without a carefully designed architecture, a series of improvised repairs commonly get tossed on top of a weak foundation. As a business evolves, reliability and scalability problems can undermine the success of the organization. These environments need thorough evaluation, smart strategic analysis, and in-depth experience to upgrade to an IT infrastructure that can act as the reliable foundation to meet current business requirements and ease future growth.

• Partner with Solution Consultants, Not Product Resellers
  Small companies need guidance and insight to navigate through an increasingly complicated maze of technology options available for accelerating business growth and enhancing productivity. Businesses do not need a network consultant or support organization that attempts to promote products. Progent avoids conflicts of interest by not selling any products. Progent sells services exclusively. This permits Progent to match consulting support services with the genuine interests of customers. Mixing network support and product reselling can lead to a conflict where the proposed solution is built around a preselected technology rather than being based on the actual needs of a customer.
