Benefits of Progent's IT Support for Businesses in Knoxville Tennessee
Progent's remote network troubleshooting services enable your Knoxville company to enjoy the benefits of timely, enterprise-grade IT support without the expense of maintaining a full-time IT organization. Your information system will acquire greater strategic value by becoming increasingly available, productive, and secure. Benefits to your company include:

  • Convenient remote extension of your local support resources
    With most offices in Knoxville Tennessee, local network support resources, whether represented by freelance consultants or an internal maintenance staff, can take care of the majority of network issues. On the other hand, serious problems can spring up when local support personnel are too busy or unavailable, and some problems may be associated with IT products that is beyond the scope of your onsite service personnel. In these situations, Progent's online support specialists offer a convenient, quick, and affordable way to supplement your local resources and to convey useful information to improve your capability to handle downstream problems in-house.

  • Less Reliance on Freelance Service Providers
    For network support, smaller offices commonly depend on individual freelance consultants. Although freelance consultants carry less internal costs than big service firms and can often charge marginally less, they are occasionally overextended, making it hard to respond quickly to urgent situations. If an independent consultant is busy with another customer, ill, on vacation, or in training, the lack of fallback help may force your business to wait for help during an IT crisis. As your network grows, network unavailability and trouble with vital software become more costly. The money you thought you were conserving on an independent can be consumed fast by reduced productivity. Progent provides a dependable source of backup service expertise to insure your network remains up and running.

  • Build a Solid Foundation for Seamless Expansion
    Businesses often begin with an IT architecture created on a shoestring budget. Lacking a scalable infrastructure, band-aid fixes often get thrown on top of an unstable foundation. When a network grows, stability and expandability problems can hinder the productivity of the business. These badly built environments need careful analysis, smart strategic planning, and wide technical expertise to upgrade to a system architecture able to deliver the stable foundation to meet current business requirements and simplify downstream expansion.

  • Interact with Solution Providers Instead of Product Resellers
    Smaller businesses need guidance and technical education to navigate through an increasingly complicated maze of product options available for promoting business success and enhancing productivity. They hardly need a network engineer who is attempting to resell a specific vendor's products. IT support and product sales can lead to a situation where the recommended solution is designed around a predetermined technology instead of the true needs of a client. Progent eliminates these dilemmas by selling just services rather than products. This enables Progent to match technical expertise with the best needs of customers.

What Makes Progent Different from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner support firm and Progent's number of employees, breadth of IT experience, fine tuned support tools, 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 IT help.

  • Complete Documentation of Delivered Services
    Progent has created a sophisticated service reporting system that stores and formats complete documentation for all delivered support activities. Unlike many freelance consultants or local support organizations who offer scant documentation or details of tasks done, every service delivered by Progent is accompanied by comprehensive documentation. Every Progent staff member has access to the support reports transmitted by each staff member to every customer. The practice of documenting and organizing service activity results in more efficient service and eliminates a variety of typical problems such as when a support client is effectively held hostage to a consultant who won't release the keys to the kingdom.

  • Automated Network Monitoring with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
    Progent is one of the few consulting companies to provide round-the-clock remote tracking services powered by MS System Center Operations Manager. Microsoft Operations Manager allows your network support to be proactive rather than reactive.
