  • Mid-size Company Technical Support
    On-site Support Midsize Business

    Progent provides network support for medium size businesses who have 100 to 250 system clients. The mid-size business or work group has typically been an underserved part of the market for IT support services. The cost structures and support delivery practices of major outside service firms make them excessively expensive for the typical mid-size company or small medium business (SMB), which commonly has a minimal IT budget with which to maintain an IT system whose complexity and sophistication are often comparable to the information systems of much bigger enterprises. Progent's support delivery model, which takes great advantage of online service, virtual network infrastructure and proactive network monitoring, significantly reduces the network support costs of an SMB while offering the small company with big-company support from certified, IT consultants with background in a wide range of midsized business technologies. If your medium size organization or small business is searching for levels of network help appropriate for a mid-size organization without paying big-company prices, you need Progent.
