Benefits of Progent's IT Support for Businesses in Providence Rhode Island
Progent's online network troubleshooting services enable your Providence organization to realize the benefits of on-call, expert IT support without the cost of maintaining a full-time IT staff. Your network will acquire greater business value by being increasingly reliable, efficient, and secure. Advantages to your business include:
- Convenient remote extension of your local support resources
With most offices in Providence Rhode Island, local network support providers, whether consisting of outside consultants or an internal maintenance staff, can resolve typical network problems. However, IT crises might occur when your regular support personnel are too busy or absent, and some problems may stem from IT products that is unfamiliar to your local service personnel. In these situations, Progent's on-call support specialists offer a convenient, quick, and affordable solution to supplement your regular resources and to transfer valuable knowledge to improve your ability to resolve downstream issues locally.
- Reduced Dependence on Freelance Service Providers
For IT maintenance, smaller businesses commonly depend on individual freelance service providers. Although independent service people carry smaller internal costs than big consulting firms and can afford to charge lower rates, they are sometimes overextended, making it impossible to respond quickly to urgent situations. If an independent service provider is busy with another customer, sick, on a trip, or in class, the lack of reserve personnel may force your company to go without assistance during an IT crisis. As your business expands, system downtime and problems with vital applications become more expensive. The budget you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be eaten up quickly by lost productivity. Progent provides a ready source of reserve service expertise to insure your network stays available.
- Create a Solid Basis for Smooth Growth
Businesses often start with an IT architecture created on a modest budget. Lacking a strong framework, band-aid fixes can get piled on top of a shaky foundation. As a network grows, stability and scalability issues can impede the success of the organization. These badly designed systems require careful analysis, smart strategic planning, and extensive technical expertise to upgrade to a network architecture that can provide the solid foundation to meet vital business requirements and simplify downstream growth.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Instead of Technology Resellers
Smaller organizations need guidance and technical education to navigate through an ever more complicated array of product options capable of accelerating business growth and enhancing productivity. These companies do not need a computer engineer who is motivated to earn a commission on a certain vendor's technology. IT consulting and product selling can result in a situation where the proposed
solution is built around a predetermined product rather than the true needs of a client. Progent avoids these conflicts of interest by offering only services rather than products. This allows Progent to match IT expertise with the real needs of clients.
What Makes Progent Unique from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner consulting company and Progent's number of employees, depth of IT experience, fine tuned remote support tools, and understanding of corporate IT enable companies to escape the pitfalls associated with exclusive dependence on smaller consulting organizations, individual freelance consultants, or over-stretched in-house IT help.

- Full Records of Delivered Services
Progent has created a sophisticated support reporting system that stores and organizes detailed documentation for all delivered support activities. Unlike many independent consultants or small support organizations who offer scant documentation or details of tasks performed, each service provided by Progent is tracked by comprehensive documentation. Each Progent consultant has use of the service reports sent by every consultant to every client. The practice of documenting and organizing support activity allows more effective service and eliminates a slew of typical misfortunes such as when a service customer is effectively held hostage to a consultant who won't release the keys to the kingdom.
- 24x7 Network Monitoring with Microsoft Operations Manager
Progent is one of the only IT service firms to offer 24x7 system tracking services based on MS Operations Manager.
