Why Progent Is the Right Alternative for Simi Valley, California Businesses
Progent's size, breadth of technical skill, and experience with enterprise IT consulting enable small companies to sidestep the pitfalls related to excessive dependence on thinly staffed service firms or independent consultants.

Teaming with Progent allows your company to:

• Prevent Over Reliance on Individual Consultants
  For IT support, smaller businesses often depend heavily on freelance consultants. Though freelance support providers have lower expenses than more substantial IT service organizations and can afford to charge nominally smaller fees, freelancers are occasionally unable to react quickly to critical network problems. If a freelance consultant is occupied with different client, sick, on vacation, or in class, the lack of replacement staff may force your business to wait for help during an emergency. The more your company grows, network downtime or difficulties with critical applications become more costly. The money you thought you were saving on an independent consultant can be eaten up fast because of lower productivity. Also, when independent engineers confront new technologies, the lack of a big consulting group to depend on for advice requires them to learn with the meter running while your business winds up footing the bill for their continuing education.

• Gain Access to Experts in Sophisticated IT Solutions
  Many smaller support organizations or freelance consultants who concentrate on small business network consulting may excel at delivering routine fixes but don't have the seasoning to deal efficiently with complicated IT infrastructures with a variety of platforms, numerous sites, VoIP systems, remote workforces, integrated accounting and operational applications, eCommerce, and custom business software. Progent's experience with global enterprises and Progent's extensive group of experts can be valuable to your business because enterprise networks are characteristically complicated, support issues require in-depth understanding of in many technical disciplines, and achieving a high degree of robustness, reliability, and protection calls for industry-tested best practices.

• Build a Firm Foundation for Growth
  Small companies often begin with a network cobbled together on a shoestring budget. Without a solid basis, a series of band-aid repairs commonly get thrown on top of a weak foundation. As a company evolves, reliability and scalability problems can undermine the productivity of the business. These environments need proper assessment, intelligent business planning, and in-depth experience to migrate to an IT environment that will act as the solid basis to meet critical business needs and support future growth.

• Work with Solution Finders, Not Product Resellers
  Small businesses require guidance and education to navigate through an ever more complicated array of IT options available for accelerating growth and improving productivity. Businesses do not need a network consultant or support organization that tries to sell them a product. Progent avoids conflicted motives by not reselling hardware and software. Progent sells consulting and services exclusively. This permits Progent to match technical support with the genuine needs of customers. Combining network consulting and product selling can lead to a conflict where the recommended solution is based on a preselected vendor instead of being driven by the true requirements of a client.
