Benefits of Progent's Network Help for Offices in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
Progent's online technical help services allow your Pittsburgh organization to enjoy the advantages of timely, enterprise-level IT support without the expense of maintaining an in-house IT organization. Your information system will acquire greater business worth by becoming increasingly available, efficient, and secure. Advantages to your business include:
- Convenient remote extension of your local IT resources
For most offices in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, local computer support providers, whether made up of freelance consultants or a full-time IT staff, can resolve the majority of network issues. On the other hand, major troubles sometimes strike when local resources are overstretched or unavailable, and some trouble may stem from IT products that is beyond the scope of your onsite support personnel. In these cases, Progent's online service experts give you a convenient, fast, and economical way to supplement your local resources and to transfer valuable knowledge to increase your capability to resolve future problems in-house.
- Less Reliance on Individual Consultants
For IT maintenance, smaller companies commonly depend on individual freelance consultants. Although freelance service people carry less overhead than big support organizations and can afford to charge lower rates, they are often overbooked, making it impossible to respond quickly to urgent situations. If a freelance consultant is busy with another client, ill, on vacation, or in class, the absence of reserve help may require your company to wait for help during an IT crisis. As your company expands, system unavailability and trouble with critical applications are more expensive. The budget you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be eaten up quickly by reduced productivity. Progent offers a ready source of backup service experts to insure your network remains available.
- Create a Solid Basis for Smooth Growth
Companies typically start with an IT architecture implemented on a shoestring budget. Without a scalable infrastructure, band-aid fixes often get thrown onto a shaky foundation. When a network grows, reliability and scalability issues can hinder the success of the organization. Such badly built environments need careful analysis, smart long-term planning, and wide technical expertise to evolve to a system infrastructure able to deliver the solid foundation to handle critical business demands and ease downstream expansion.
- Interact with Solution Providers Instead of Technology Vendors
Smaller offices require guidance and technical training to negotiate an increasingly complex maze of technology alternatives capable of accelerating business growth and improving productivity. Businesses hardly need a computer engineer who is motivated to sell a certain vendor's technology. Network consulting and product selling can lead to a scenario where the recommended
solution is built around a profitable product instead of the genuine requirements of a client. Progent eliminates these conflicts of interest by selling just services instead of products. This allows Progent to align technical expertise with the best interests of clients.
How Is Progent Unique from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting firm and Progent's number of employees, range of IT expertise, refined remote support tools, and understanding of enterprise networking allow offices to avoid the limitations associated with excessive dependence on smaller consulting organizations, independent freelance service providers, or limited in-house IT help.

- Information Transfer

By teaching customers to handle problems that are within their comfort zone, Progent is able to focus on providing hard-to-find skills where Progent faces little competition. Businesses who work with familiar freelance service providers or who maintain in-house IT staffs benefit when Progent passes on knowledge about critical technology and proven methodologies to make their networks more reliable, protected, and efficient.
- 24x7 Network Monitoring with MS Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few consulting firms to provide 24x7 network monitoring services based on Microsoft System Center Operations Manager.
