  • Value Pricing
    Progent's pricing policy is to charge for remote support and in-person help by the minute. Consequently, you are billed only for delivered support. Progent does not impose a higher rate for after-hours or priority support, and within California or in areas where Progent offers in-person service, Progent does not bill for travel time except for urgent support where on-site work is less than 4 hours. In addition, Progent imposes no minimum charge and asks no retainer for services delivered during regular working hours. Many support organizations demand large minimum fees or charge for each fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's small granularity does away with large invoices for quick solutions so you won't be forced to allow minor problems to stay unaddressed.

  • Complete Records of IT Services
    Progent has created a comprehensive support reporting system that stores and formats complete documentation for all delivered support activities. Unlike many freelance consultants or local support organizations who provide minimal documentation or details of services done, every service provided by Progent is tracked by comprehensive documentation. Every Progent consultant has use of the service documentation sent by every staff member to every client. The discipline of detailing and organizing service activity allows more efficient service and eliminates a variety of typical problems such as when a support client is virtually held hostage to a consultant who won’t release vital service information.

  • Remote Server Monitoring with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
    Progent is one of the few IT service firms to offer round-the-clock system monitoring services powered by MS Operations Manager. MS System Center Operations Manager causes your computer maintenance to be anticipatory rather than reactive.
