Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Businesses in Oakland California
Progent's remote IT consulting services allow your Oakland business to realize the advantages of on-call, enterprise-level IT support without the expense of maintaining a full-time IT organization. Your network will acquire added strategic worth by becoming increasingly available, productive, and protected. Benefits to your business include:

  • Convenient remote expansion of your on-site IT resources
    With most offices in Oakland California, nearby network service resources, whether made up of outside consultants or an in-house maintenance staff, can deal with the majority of technical issues. However, major troubles may strike when local resources are too busy or absent, and some problems may be associated with technology that is beyond the scope of your local service technicians. In these instances, Progent's on-call support specialists provide a convenient, fast, and economical way to augment your regular resources and to convey valuable information to improve your ability to deal with downstream issues locally.

  • Less Dependence on Individual Service Providers
    For IT support, smaller companies often depend on independent freelance service providers. Although freelance consultants have less overhead than big support organizations and can often charge marginally less, they are often stretched too thin, making it difficult to respond quickly to urgent situations. If an independent consultant is occupied with another customer, sick, on a trip, or in training, the lack of reserve help may force your company to wait for assistance during an IT crisis. As your business grows, network unavailability and problems with vital software become more costly. The budget you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be eaten up fast by reduced productivity. Progent offers an on-call source of backup support experts to make sure your IT system stays up and running.

  • Create a Scalable Basis for Smooth Expansion
    Companies typically begin with an information system implemented on a shoestring budget. Without a strong framework, slap-dash repairs often get piled onto a shaky foundation. As a company grows, stability and scalability issues can impede the success of the business. Such badly designed environments need proper analysis, intelligent strategic planning, and wide technical knowledge to upgrade to a system architecture able to offer the solid foundation to handle current business demands and simplify future expansion.

  • Work with Problem Solvers Instead of Technology Sellers
    Smaller companies need guidance and technical training to navigate through an ever more complicated array of product options available for promoting business growth and enhancing efficiency. Businesses hardly need a network consultant who is motivated to sell a specific vendor's products. IT consulting and product sales can result in a scenario where the recommended solution is built around a predetermined technology rather than the genuine requirements of a business. Progent eliminates these dilemmas by offering only services instead of products. This enables Progent to match IT expertise with the real interests of clients.

What Makes Progent Unique from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting firm and Progent's number of employees, range of technical background, fine tuned support tools, and understanding of enterprise networking enable companies to escape the pitfalls associated with excessive dependence on smaller consulting organizations, individual freelance consultants, or over-stretched internal IT help.

  • Value Pricing
    Progent's pricing model is to charge for online service and on-site visits per minute. As a result, you owe exclusively for delivered support.

Also, Progent imposes no initialization charge and requires no retainer for support services provided during normal working hours.

  • Complete Records of IT Services
    Progent has developed a comprehensive service reporting system that stores and formats detailed documentation for all delivered services. Unlike many independent consultants or small service organizations who provide scant documentation or specifics of services performed, every service provided by Progent is accompanied by comprehensive documentation. Every Progent consultant has use of the support documentation transmitted by each staff member to each customer. The discipline of documenting and archiving service records allows more efficient service and avoids a variety of common problems such as when a service client is virtually held hostage to a consultant who won't release vital service information.

  • Remote Network Monitoring with MS System Center Operations Manager
    Progent is one of the only support companies to offer round-the-clock system monitoring services powered by MS Operations Manager. MS Operations Manager causes your network maintenance to be anticipatory instead of reactive.
