Why Progent Is the Right Alternative for Oxnard, California Businesses
Progent's size, breadth and depth of information technology skill, and familiarity with corporate IT consulting enable small companies to sidestep the pitfalls related to over reliance on thinly staffed support firms or freelance engineers.

Working with Progent's Experts enables your small business to:

  • Avoid Over Reliance on Freelance Consultants
    For network support, small companies sometimes rely excessively on independent engineers. Though freelance service engineers have lower overhead than more substantial IT service organizations and can typically bill nominally smaller fees, individuals are frequently too busy to respond quickly to urgent situations. If a freelance consultant is busy with different client, sick, on vacation, or in class, the lack of backup personnel may force your company to go without help in case of a crisis. As your small business grows, network unavailability or difficulties with line-of-business applications get more expensive. The money you thought you were conserving on an independent consultant can disappear fast due to lost output. Also, when freelance consultants confront unfamiliar problems, the unavailability of a large engineering team to depend on for help forces them to train on the job while your organization ends up with the costs for their continuing training.

  • Have Access to Certified Professionals in Sophisticated IT Issues
    Many small support firms or freelance engineers focused on small business network consulting are capable of delivering connect-the-dots solutions but lack the background to deal cost-effectively with complex network configurations that have mixed platforms, numerous offices, Voice over IP systems, remote workforces, interconnected financial and operational applications, data-driven web sites, and specialized business applications. Progent's experience with global enterprises and Progent's large staff of experts can be valuable to your small business because big-company networks are inherently complex, integration problems require in-depth knowledge in numerous technical areas, and achieving an acceptable level of stability, reliability, and protection requires industry-proven leading practices.

  • Build a Solid Basis for Growth
    Small companies typically begin with an IT system implemented on a tight budget. Without a proper architecture, a series of improvised fixes often get thrown on top of a tenuous foundation. As a business grows, stability and expandability problems can undermine the productivity of the business. These networks need thorough evaluation, intelligent business planning, and broad-based experience to migrate to a network environment that can provide the reliable foundation to meet critical business requirements and support downstream expansion.

  • Team with Solution Consultants, Not Product Vendors
    Small businesses need direction and education to work through an ever more complex maze of technology options offered for accelerating business growth and enhancing productivity. Businesses do not need a network consultant or support organization that tries to sell them products. Progent eliminates conflicts of interest by not reselling hardware and software. Progent offers consulting and services only. This allows Progent to align technical support services with the real interests of customers. Combining IT consulting and product selling can lead to a conflict where the recommended solution is based on a predetermined technology instead of being driven by the actual requirements of a customer.
