Value Pricing for IT Outsourcing
Progent charges a competitive by-the-minute rate for technical services. Clients are not required to pay for retainers or monthly commitments that could result in paying for support that is never provided. Progent offers an extended hours remote technical support program and does not bill for travel except for emergency help where on-site time is less than four hours.
Important features and advantages of Progent's value pricing model include:
- Affordable By-the-Minute Rates
Progent charges affordable per minute rates for the services of proven support experts. Progent's Microsoft Premier consultants are fast, effective, and experienced. By charging a competitive by-the-minute rate and resolving problems fast, Progent gives small and mid-size companies the best ROI available in the country for network support.
- Streamlined Engagement Model without Retainers or Surcharges for Standard Services
Progent's simple by-the-minute engagement model requires no complicated contracts, retainers, or hidden charges for services delivered during regular business hours. Many support organizations have minimum charges or similar added fees that inflate service bills. For online support, you pay only for the logged time Progent spends working on your technical issues. If it only takes ten minutes to resolve your difficulty, then you only pay for those few minutes. For scheduled on-location support work reserved more than 24 hours in advance, you owe only for the time when our consultant is actually on location fixing your problems. No on-location surcharges, travel fees, or expenses. Simply Progent's competitive by-the-minute rate. For urgent immediate on-premises support calls, you may be required to pay for the Progent engineer's travel time, but not at an increased expedited service rate. Because Progent offers an extensive team of expert engineers located throughout the area and in major regions throughout the United States, an available expert is normally close by to assist you.

Progent delivers support as efficiently as possible so as to produce timely, affordable solutions.

Progent's extensive in-house support knowledge base enables Progent's engineers to evaluate and repair network trouble quickly and to cooperate with colleagues to deliver efficient solutions.
- Remote Support
Progent is a leader in providing protected online support to business networks worldwide. When practiced correctly, remote support provides dramatic productivity improvements and cost savings by solving issues in a small percentage of the time that would be needed for an in-person support call. Progent's online service professionals are able to solve problems quickly, and Progent's per minuite pricing model for online help shields customers from being billed for help that is never delivered.
