Why Progent Is the Smart Alternative for Salem, Oregon Businesses
Progent's staff size, scope of technical expertise, and familiarity with corporate IT support allow small and midsize companies to avoid the problems associated with excessive dependence on thinly staffed support firms or individual engineers.

Teaming with Progent enables your small business to:

• Prevent Excessive Dependence on Freelance Support Consultants
  For network services, smaller companies sometimes rely heavily on freelance engineers. Although freelance service providers have lower expenses than larger IT service organizations and can afford to charge apparently smaller fees, they are sometimes unable to react quickly to critical problems. If a freelance consultant is occupied with another customer, ill, on vacation, or in class, the lack of backup personnel may require your company to go without help during an emergency. As your small business grows, system downtime or problems with line-of-business programs get more expensive. The dollars you thought you were conserving on an independent consultant can disappear quickly due to lost output. In addition, when independent engineers confront new technologies, the lack of a big consulting group to rely on for assistance requires them to learn in place while your business winds up footing the bill for their continuing training.

• Gain Access to Certified Professionals in Advanced Network Issues
  The majority of smaller service firms or freelance engineers specializing in small business network consulting are capable of delivering routine fixes but lack the experience to work efficiently with complicated IT configurations that have a variety of operating systems, multiple locations, VoIP systems, mobile workers, interconnected financial and analytical software, eCommerce, and custom business software. Progent's background with worldwide companies and Progent's large group of experts can be valuable to your business because enterprise environments are inherently complicated, support issues demand thorough understanding of in numerous technical areas, and reaching a high degree of stability, reliability, and protection calls for industry-tested leading practices.

• Create a Solid Basis for Growth
  Small companies typically start with an IT system implemented on a shoestring budget. Without a solid architecture, a series of band-aid repairs often get tossed onto of a marginal foundation. As a company evolves, stability and expandability issues can undermine the success of the business. These networks need proper assessment, smart strategic planning, and broad-based expertise to migrate to an IT infrastructure that will provide the solid basis to handle current business requirements and ease future growth.

• Work with Solution Providers, Not Resellers
  Smaller companies need guidance and education to work through an increasingly complicated maze of IT alternatives offered for enabling business growth and enhancing efficiency. They do not need an IT engineer or support organization that attempts to promote products. Progent avoids conflicted motives by not selling any products. Progent sells services and expertise exclusively. This allows Progent to align consulting support services with the real needs of clients. Mixing network consulting and product reselling can lead to a conflict where the recommended solution is built around a predetermined technology rather than being driven by the true needs of a small business.
