Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Organizations in Calgary Alberta
Progent's remote IT consulting services enable your Calgary organization to enjoy the benefits of timely, enterprise-class network support without the expense of managing an in-house IT organization. Your network will derive greater strategic value by being more reliable, efficient, and protected. Benefits to your company include:
- Convenient remote extension of your local support resources
With most organizations in Calgary Alberta, nearby network support resources, whether consisting of outside consultants or an in-house maintenance staff, can handle the majority of technical problems. However, IT crises can spring up when local resources are too busy or absent, and some trouble may be associated with IT products that is unfamiliar to your onsite support people. In these situations, Progent's online support experts give you an easy, fast, and affordable solution to augment your local help and to transfer valuable information to improve your capability to resolve downstream problems locally.
- Less Dependence on Freelance Consultants
For IT maintenance, smaller offices often depend on independent freelance consultants. Although independent service people have less internal costs than larger support companies and can afford to charge lower rates, they are sometimes overextended, making it hard to respond quickly to urgent situations. If an independent consultant is busy with another client, sick, on vacation, or in class, the absence of backup personnel may force your company to go without assistance during an IT crisis. As your business grows, network downtime and trouble with critical applications become more expensive. The budget you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be consumed fast by lost productivity. Progent provides an on-call source of reserve service experts to insure your network stays up and running.
- Create a Scalable Foundation for Seamless Growth
Businesses typically start with an information architecture implemented on a modest budget. Lacking a strong framework, slap-dash repairs can get thrown on top of an unstable foundation. As a network grows, reliability and expandability issues can hinder the productivity of the organization. These poorly built environments need proper analysis, smart long-term planning, and wide IT expertise to upgrade to a system architecture able to offer the stable foundation to handle current business demands and ease downstream growth.
- Work with Solution Providers Instead of Technology Resellers
Smaller offices require advice and technical education to navigate through an ever more complicated maze of technology options capable of accelerating business growth and improving efficiency. Businesses hardly need a computer engineer who is attempting to earn a commission on a certain vendor's products. Network consulting and product selling can result in a scenario where the proposed
solution is built around a profitable technology instead of the true requirements of a business. Progent eliminates these dilemmas by selling just services rather than products. This enables Progent to match technical consulting with the best needs of clients.
What Makes Progent Unique from Other Support Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner support company and Progent's number of employees, breadth of technical background, refined remote support software, and understanding of enterprise networking enable companies to escape the limitations associated with excessive reliance on smaller service organizations, independent freelance service providers, or limited in-house resources.
Progent adds value by offering:
- Proven Methodology
Progent's team of Microsoft and Cisco Premier experts average longer than ten years of hands-on professional experience, at the front lines of network service, performing a wide range of IT projects for an extensive mix of customers. Each Progent consultant shares a proven collection of personal best practices which are incorporated into shared best practices standards that Progent teaches its consulting personnel. This guarantees that you get not just expert technical skills, but also a support engineer with field-tested approaches for applying technical knowledge to fix actual network problems efficiently.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing model is to charge for online support and in-person help per minute. As a result, you owe just for received support. Progent does not demand a higher rate for off-hours or priority service, and within California or in areas where Progent offers on-premises support, Progent does not charge for travel except for emergency calls where on-site work is less than 4 hours. Also, Progent applies no service activation charge and requires no retainer for support services provided during normal business hours. Many service firms impose large minimum fees or charge for every fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity eliminates large bills for quick repairs so you won't be forced to allow simple problems to fester.
- Complete Records of IT Services
Progent has created a sophisticated support reporting system that stores and organizes complete documentation for all delivered services. Unlike some freelance consultants or small support firms who offer scant documentation or details of tasks performed, each service delivered by Progent is accompanied by full documentation. Each Progent staff member has use of the service reports transmitted by every consultant to each customer. The discipline of documenting and organizing support activity allows more effective service and avoids a variety of common problems such as when a support client is virtually held captive to a consultant who won't release vital service information.
- Automated Server Monitoring with Microsoft Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few support companies to offer 24x7 remote tracking services based on Microsoft System Center Operations Manager. Microsoft Operations Manager causes your computer support to be anticipatory rather than reactive. By uncovering potential problems before they result in downtime, network monitoring can save your information network from stressful and expensive availability losses.
