Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Companies in Waltham
Progent's remote support services allow your Waltham business to realize the benefits of timely, enterprise-grade IT support without the cost of maintaining a full-time IT organization. Your information system will acquire greater strategic worth by becoming more available, productive, and secure. Benefits to your company include:

  • Convenient virtual extension of your local IT resources
    With most companies in Waltham and throughout Massachusetts, local computer service resources, whether represented by independent consultants or an in-house IT staff, can resolve the majority of technical issues. On the other hand, IT crises may occur when your regular support personnel are overstretched or unavailable, and some trouble may be associated with IT products that is beyond the scope of your local service people. In these cases, Progent's on-call support professionals provide a convenient, quick, and affordable way to supplement your local resources and to pass on valuable knowledge to improve your ability to deal with future issues in-house.

  • Less Reliance on Individual Service Providers
    For network maintenance, smaller companies commonly depend on independent freelance service providers. Although independent service people have less overhead than big service firms and can afford to charge lower rates, they are often overextended, making it hard to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If a freelance service provider is occupied with another customer, ill, on vacation, or in training, the lack of fallback help may require your company to go without assistance during an IT crisis. As your company grows, network unavailability and problems with critical software become more costly. The budget you thought you were saving on an independent can be consumed fast by reduced productivity. Progent offers a reliable source of backup support experts to make sure your IT system remains available.

  • Create a Scalable Basis for Seamless Expansion
    Companies typically begin with an IT system implemented on a modest budget. Without a scalable infrastructure, band-aid fixes can get thrown on top of a shaky foundation. As a company grows, reliability and scalability issues can impede the success of the organization. These badly designed systems need careful analysis, intelligent strategic planning, and extensive IT knowledge to upgrade to a system architecture that can offer the stable foundation to meet vital business requirements and simplify future growth.

  • Interact with Solution Providers Rather Than Technology Resellers
    Smaller companies require advice and technical training to negotiate an increasingly complicated maze of technology alternatives available for accelerating business success and enhancing productivity. These companies do not need a network engineer who is motivated to resell a certain vendor's technology. Network consulting and product selling can lead to a scenario where the recommended solution is built around a predetermined product instead of the genuine requirements of a client. Progent avoids these conflicts by selling only services instead of products. This allows Progent to align IT expertise with the best needs of clients.

How Is Progent Unique from Other Support Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting company and Progent's number of employees, range of IT experience, fine tuned support tools, and understanding of enterprise networking enable businesses to escape the limitations associated with exclusive reliance on smaller consulting firms, individual freelance service providers, or over-stretched in-house resources.
