Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Organizations in San Rafael California
Progent's online IT consulting services allow your San Rafael company to experience the advantages of immediate, world-class network support without the cost of maintaining a full-time IT staff. Your network will derive added strategic worth by becoming increasingly available, productive, and secure. Benefits to your company include:
- Seamless remote expansion of your local IT resources
With most offices in San Rafael California, local network support resources, whether represented by independent consultants or an internal maintenance staff, can solve typical network problems. On the other hand, serious problems sometimes occur when your regular support personnel are too busy or absent, and some problems may be associated with technology that is beyond the scope of your onsite service personnel. In these cases, Progent's on-call support experts offer a convenient, quick, and affordable solution to augment your local resources and to convey useful knowledge to improve your ability to deal with downstream issues locally.
- Less Dependence on Freelance Service Providers
For network support, smaller organizations commonly rely on individual freelance service providers. Although independent consultants have less internal costs than big service companies and can afford to charge lower rates, they are sometimes overbooked, making it hard to respond quickly to urgent situations. If an independent service provider is busy with another customer, sick, on a trip, or in training, the lack of reserve help may force your business to wait for assistance during an emergency. As your network grows, system unavailability and trouble with critical software are more expensive. The money you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be consumed fast by reduced productivity. Progent offers an on-call source of backup support experts to insure your IT system is always available.
- Build a Scalable Foundation for Seamless Growth
Organizations typically start with an information architecture created on a shoestring budget. Without a proper infrastructure, band-aid repairs can get piled on top of an unstable foundation. When a network grows, stability and expandability problems can hinder the success of the business. Such poorly built environments need careful assessment, smart long-term planning, and wide technical expertise to evolve to a network architecture able to deliver the solid foundation to handle current business demands and facilitate downstream expansion.
- Work with Problem Solvers Rather Than Technology Resellers
Smaller organizations require advice and technical training to negotiate an increasingly complicated maze of product alternatives capable of accelerating business success and improving productivity. They hardly need a network consultant who is attempting to earn a commission on a specific vendor's products. Network consulting and product selling can result in a scenario where the proposed
solution is designed around a profitable product rather than the true requirements of a client. Progent avoids these conflicts by offering just services rather than products. This enables Progent to align IT consulting with the best interests of customers.
How Is Progent Different from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support firm and Progent's number of employees, depth of IT expertise, fine tuned support tools, and understanding of enterprise networking enable offices to avoid the limitations of excessive reliance on smaller consulting firms, individual freelance consultants, or limited in-house IT help.
Progent adds value by providing:
- In-depth Knowledge of Microsoft's Entire Family of Servers
Progent can provide in-depth support for Microsoft's leading server platforms with services that include Windows Server 2022 solution design and migration expertise, Microsoft Windows Server 2019 migration services, Windows Server 2016 hybrid cloud integration, Windows 2012 R2 Server planning and integration support services, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 upgrades, Windows 2003 maintenance, MS Exchange 2019 planning and configuration, Microsoft Exchange 2016 Server migration, Microsoft Exchange 2013 consulting, Exchange 2010 Server maintenance, Microsoft Exchange 2007 Server and Microsoft Exchange 2003 Server upgrades, plus MS SQL Server 2019 hybrid integration expertise, MS SQL Server 2017 migration, SQL Server 2016 integration and development, SQL Server 2014 consulting support, and SQL Server 2012 maintenance.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to bill for phone service and in-person visits per minute. Consequently, you pay exclusively for received services. Progent does not impose a higher rate for off-hours or emergency support, and within California or in regions where Progent provides on-site service, Progent does not charge for travel except for urgent support where on-site time is less than four hours. In addition, Progent imposes no startup fee and asks no monthly commitment for services provided during normal working hours. Many service firms demand substantial minimum payments or charge for each fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's fine granularity avoids big bills for quick repairs so you won't be forced to allow less critical problems to fester.
- Information Transfer
Progent practices knowledge transfer from Progent's consultants to clients. By educating clients to deal with problems that are within their comfort zone, Progent is able to focus on providing hard-to-find skills where Progent faces little competition. Companies who utilize trusted independent consultants or who maintain in-house IT staffs benefit when Progent passes on information about new technology and tested processes to make their networks more robust, protected, and productive.
- Remote Server Monitoring with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few IT service companies to provide 24x7 system tracking services powered by MS Operations Manager. Microsoft Operations Manager allows your computer support to be anticipatory rather than reactive. By anticipating potential issues before they cause lost productivity, system monitoring can keep your IT network from stressful and expensive availability losses.
