Benefits of Progent's IT Support for Offices in The Woodlands Texas
Progent's remote support services allow your The Woodlands business to experience the benefits of timely, enterprise-class network support without the expense of managing a full-time IT staff. Your network will derive greater strategic value by being increasingly available, productive, and protected. Advantages to your business include:
- Convenient remote expansion of your on-site IT resources
With most businesses in The Woodlands Texas, nearby network support resources, whether consisting of outside consultants or a full-time IT staff, can handle typical technical issues. On the other hand, IT crises can spring up when local support personnel are too busy or unavailable, and some problems may stem from technology that is unfamiliar to your usual service people. In these cases, Progent's on-call service professionals offer a convenient, quick, and affordable solution to supplement your regular resources and to transfer useful information to increase your capability to resolve future problems locally.
- Reduced Dependence on Individual Consultants
For IT support, smaller offices commonly rely on independent freelance service providers. While freelance service people have less overhead than larger consulting firms and can afford to charge marginally less, they are sometimes stretched too thin, making it difficult to respond quickly to urgent situations. If a freelance service provider is busy with another customer, ill, on vacation, or in training, the absence of backup personnel may require your company to wait for assistance during an IT crisis. As your business grows, system unavailability and problems with critical applications are more expensive. The money you thought you were saving on an independent can be eaten up fast by reduced productivity. Progent provides a dependable source of reserve support experts to make sure your network stays available.
- Create a Scalable Basis for Smooth Growth
Companies typically start with an IT architecture implemented on a modest budget. Without a scalable framework, slap-dash fixes can get piled onto an unstable foundation. When a network grows, stability and expandability problems can hinder the productivity of the organization. Such badly designed systems require careful assessment, smart strategic planning, and wide technical knowledge to evolve to a system architecture that can provide the solid foundation to handle vital business requirements and facilitate downstream expansion.
- Work with Solution Providers Rather Than Technology Resellers
Smaller offices need guidance and technical education to negotiate an increasingly complex maze of technology alternatives available for promoting business growth and enhancing efficiency. Businesses hardly need a network consultant who is attempting to sell a certain vendor's technology. IT consulting and product selling can result in a scenario where the recommended
solution is designed around a profitable product instead of the true needs of a business. Progent avoids these conflicts by offering only services rather than products. This allows Progent to match IT expertise with the real interests of customers.
How Is Progent Unique from Other Support Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting firm and Progent's number of employees, range of IT experience, refined remote support software, and understanding of corporate IT allow companies to avoid the pitfalls associated with excessive dependence on smaller service organizations, individual freelance consultants, or limited internal IT help.
Progent stands out by providing:
- Best Practices
Progent’s staff of Microsoft and Cisco Certified consultants average more than a decade of hands-on industry background, at the forefront of network service, performing a broad variety of technical projects for an extensive mix of businesses. Every Progent support professional shares a refined set of personal best practices which are incorporated into shared best practices training that Progent teaches its support staff. This means that you get not just expert IT capability, but also a support engineer with proven approaches for applying technical knowledge to fix actual IT problems rapidly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to charge for remote support and on-site visits by the minute. As a result, you owe exclusively for received services. Progent does not demand a more expensive rate for off-hours or emergency support, and inside California or in regions where Progent provides in-person service, Progent does not charge for travel except for emergency support where on-site work is less than 4 hours. Also, Progent applies no service activation fee and asks no monthly commitment for support services delivered during regular working hours. Many support organizations demand large minimum fees or charge for each fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity eliminates large bills for quick repairs so you will not be tempted to permit minor problems to stay unaddressed.
- Information Transfer
Progent is committed to knowledge transfer from Progent's support experts to customers. By educating clients to handle problems that are within their comfort zone, Progent is able to focus on providing high-value services where Progent has little competition. Companies who work with familiar independent service providers or who employ in-house IT staffs benefit when Progent passes on knowledge about critical technology and tested processes to make their IT environments more reliable, protected, and efficient.
