Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Offices in Shreveport Louisiana
Progent's online support services allow your Shreveport organization to enjoy the advantages of timely, expert network support without the expense of managing a full-time IT staff. Your network will derive added strategic worth by being increasingly available, efficient, and protected. Advantages to your business include:
- Convenient remote expansion of your on-site IT resources
For most offices in Shreveport Louisiana, nearby network support resources, whether represented by independent consultants or an internal maintenance staff, can take care of typical network problems. However, major troubles may spring up when local support personnel are overstretched or unavailable, and some problems may be associated with IT products that is beyond the scope of your usual service personnel. In these instances, Progent's on-call support experts give you a convenient, fast, and budget-friendly way to supplement your local help and to pass on valuable knowledge to improve your capability to resolve downstream problems locally.
- Reduced Dependence on Individual Service Providers
For IT maintenance, smaller businesses often depend on independent freelance service providers. While independent consultants have less overhead than larger service companies and can afford to charge marginally less, they are often overextended, making it impossible to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If an independent service provider is occupied with another customer, sick, on vacation, or in training, the lack of reserve personnel may require your business to wait for assistance during an IT crisis. As your network grows, system downtime and problems with critical applications are more expensive. The money you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be consumed quickly by lost productivity. Progent offers a reliable source of backup service experts to make sure your IT system is always available.
- Build a Scalable Basis for Smooth Growth
Businesses typically start with an information system created on a shoestring budget. Lacking a scalable infrastructure, slap-dash fixes can get piled on top of a weak foundation. When a network grows, stability and expandability issues can impede the productivity of the business. Such poorly built systems need careful analysis, intelligent long-term planning, and extensive IT expertise to evolve to a system infrastructure able to offer the solid foundation to meet critical business requirements and ease downstream expansion.
- Interact with Problem Solvers Instead of Technology Resellers
Smaller companies need advice and technical training to negotiate an increasingly complex array of technology options capable of promoting business success and enhancing productivity. These companies do not need a network engineer who is motivated to earn a commission on a certain vendor's technology. IT support and product sales can lead to a scenario where the proposed
solution is built around a predetermined technology instead of the true requirements of a business. Progent avoids these dilemmas by offering just services instead of products. This allows Progent to match technical consulting with the real needs of customers.
How Is Progent Unique from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting company and Progent's head count, breadth of IT background, fine tuned support tools, and understanding of enterprise networking enable companies to escape the pitfalls of exclusive dependence on smaller consulting organizations, individual freelance consultants, or over-stretched internal IT help.
Progent stands out by offering:
- Best Practices
Progent's staff of Microsoft and Cisco Certified consultants average longer than ten years of hands-on professional background, in the trenches of network support, performing a wide variety of IT projects for an extensive array of customers. Every Progent consultant shares a refined collection of personal best practices which are incorporated into shared leading practices standards that Progent teaches its support team. This means that you get not just expert technical capability, but also a consultant with proven approaches for using computer knowledge to repair real-world IT problems rapidly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing model is to charge for online support and in-person help per minute. Consequently, you are invoiced just for received support. Progent does not demand a more expensive rate for off-hours or priority support, and inside California or in regions where Progent offers on-site service, Progent does not bill for travel time except for emergency calls where on-site work is less than 4 hours. In addition, Progent imposes no service activation charge and requires no retainer for support services delivered during normal business hours. Many support firms impose large minimum payments or charge for each fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's fine granularity avoids big bills for fast fixes so you won't be tempted to permit simple problems to stay unaddressed.
- Full Documentation of IT Services
Progent has developed a comprehensive support reporting system that stores and formats complete documentation for all delivered support activities. Unlike some independent consultants or small service organizations who provide scant documentation or details of services done, each service delivered by Progent is accompanied by full documentation. Each Progent consultant has access to the support reports sent by each staff member to every client. The discipline of documenting and archiving support activity results in more efficient service and eliminates a slew of typical misfortunes such as when a support client is effectively held hostage to a consultant who won't let go of vital service information.
- Automated Server Monitoring with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few IT service companies to offer round-the-clock remote tracking services powered by MS System Center Operations Manager. MS Operations Manager causes your network maintenance to be proactive instead of reactive. By uncovering potential issues before they cause downtime, network monitoring can save your information network from stressful and expensive availability disruptions.
