Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Companies in Monterey California
Progent's online technical help services allow your Monterey organization to have the benefits of immediate, enterprise-class IT support without the cost of maintaining an in-house IT staff. Your information system will derive greater business value by being more reliable, efficient, and secure. Benefits to your company include:

  • Seamless remote expansion of your local IT resources
    For most companies in Monterey California, nearby computer service resources, whether consisting of independent consultants or an in-house maintenance staff, can deal with typical technical problems. On the other hand, serious problems sometimes spring up when your regular support personnel are overstretched or unavailable, and some trouble may be associated with technology that is unfamiliar to your usual support personnel. In these cases, Progent's on-call support specialists provide an easy, quick, and budget-friendly way to supplement your regular help and to transfer valuable knowledge to improve your capability to resolve future problems locally.

  • Reduced Reliance on Individual Service Providers
    For IT maintenance, smaller offices commonly rely on individual freelance service providers. While freelance service people carry smaller overhead than big service companies and can often charge lower rates, they are often overbooked, making it impossible to respond rapidly to crisis situations. If an independent consultant is busy with another client, ill, on a trip, or in class, the lack of backup personnel may force your business to go without help during an IT crisis. As your network expands, system downtime and trouble with vital software become more costly. The money you thought you were conserving on an independent can be eaten up quickly by reduced productivity. Progent provides an on-call source of reserve support experts to make sure your IT system stays up and running.

  • Build a Scalable Foundation for Smooth Growth
    Organizations typically begin with an IT system implemented on a shoestring budget. Without a strong framework, slap-dash fixes can get piled onto an unstable foundation. When a company grows, stability and scalability issues can impede the success of the business. These poorly designed environments need careful analysis, intelligent strategic planning, and wide IT expertise to evolve to a network architecture able to deliver the solid foundation to handle vital business requirements and simplify downstream growth.

  • Interact with Solution Providers Instead of Product Vendors
    Smaller organizations need advice and technical education to negotiate an increasingly complex array of product options capable of accelerating business growth and enhancing efficiency. Businesses do not need a network engineer who is trying to sell a certain vendor's technology. IT support and product sales can result in a scenario where the recommended solution is built around a predetermined technology rather than the true requirements of a client. Progent eliminates these conflicts of interest by offering just services rather than products. This allows Progent to align IT consulting with the real needs of customers.

How Is Progent Different from Other Support Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner support firm and Progent's staff size, depth of technical experience, refined support tools, and understanding of corporate IT allow businesses to avoid the limitations of excessive dependence on smaller consulting firms, independent freelance consultants, or over-stretched in-house resources.

Progent adds value by providing:

  • Proven Methodology
    Progent's staff of Microsoft and Cisco Certified consultants average more than a decade of hands-on industry background, at the front lines of IT service, performing a wide variety of IT projects for a large array of clients. Every Progent consultant shares a proven collection of personal best practices which are incorporated into shared leading practices standards that Progent instills in its consulting team. This guarantees that you get not only expert IT capability, but also a consultant with field-tested methods for using technical knowledge to repair actual IT problems rapidly.

  • Value Pricing
    Progent's pricing model is to bill for phone support and on-site visits per minute. Consequently, you are billed only for received services. Progent does not demand a higher rate for after-hours or priority service, and within California or in regions where Progent provides on-site service, Progent does not bill for travel except for urgent calls where on-site time is less than 4 hours. In addition, Progent imposes no initialization fee and requires no monthly commitment for support services provided during regular business hours. Many support firms demand large minimum payments or charge for each quarter hour or longer. Progent's fine granularity avoids large invoices for quick solutions so you won't be forced to allow minor problems to fester.

  • Complete Records of Delivered Services
    Progent has created a sophisticated support reporting system that records and formats complete documentation for all delivered services. Unlike many independent consultants or local service organizations who provide minimal documentation or specifics of services performed, each service provided by Progent is accompanied by full documentation. Each Progent staff member has use of the support documentation transmitted by every staff member to every customer. The discipline of documenting and archiving support records results in more effective support and avoids a variety of common misfortunes such as when a support customer is virtually held hostage to a consultant who won't let go of vital service information.

  • Automated Server Monitoring with MS Operations Manager
    Progent is one of the few consulting firms to offer round-the-clock remote monitoring services based on Microsoft System Center Operations Manager. MS System Center Operations Manager causes your computer support to be proactive instead of reactive. By anticipating potential problems before they result in downtime, network monitoring can keep your information network from painful and costly service losses.
