Benefits of Progent's Network Help for Businesses in Salinas California
Progent's online support services allow your Salinas business to experience the advantages of timely, expert network support without the expense of maintaining an in-house IT organization. Your network will derive greater business value by being more available, efficient, and protected. Benefits to your business include:

  • Seamless virtual expansion of your on-site IT resources
    With most organizations in Salinas California, nearby computer service providers, whether made up of independent consultants or an internal IT staff, can solve the majority of technical issues. However, serious problems might spring up when local resources are overstretched or absent, and some problems may stem from IT products that is unfamiliar to your onsite service personnel. In these cases, Progent's on-call service specialists offer a convenient, fast, and budget-friendly way to supplement your regular help and to pass on valuable knowledge to increase your ability to handle downstream issues in-house.

  • Less Reliance on Individual Service Providers
    For IT maintenance, smaller organizations commonly depend on independent freelance consultants. Although independent consultants have less overhead than big consulting organizations and can afford to charge lower rates, they are occasionally overextended, making it impossible to respond quickly to urgent situations. If an independent consultant is occupied with another client, ill, on a trip, or in class, the lack of reserve personnel may require your business to go without help during an IT crisis. As your network grows, network unavailability and trouble with critical applications are more costly. The money you thought you were saving on a freelancer can be eaten up fast by reduced productivity. Progent offers an on-call source of reserve service experts to insure your IT system is always available.

  • Build a Solid Basis for Seamless Growth
    Businesses typically start with an information architecture created on a modest budget. Lacking a robust infrastructure, band-aid repairs can get thrown on top of an unstable foundation. When a company grows, reliability and scalability problems can impede the productivity of the organization. Such badly built environments require careful assessment, intelligent strategic planning, and broad-based IT expertise to upgrade to a system infrastructure that can provide the stable foundation to meet vital business demands and facilitate future expansion.

  • Interact with Problem Solvers Instead of Technology Sellers
    Smaller organizations require guidance and technical education to negotiate an increasingly complicated maze of product options available for accelerating business growth and enhancing efficiency. They do not need a network consultant who is trying to resell a specific vendor's products. IT consulting and product sales can lead to a situation where the proposed solution is built around a predetermined technology rather than the genuine requirements of a client. Progent avoids these conflicts of interest by selling just services rather than products. This allows Progent to align technical consulting with the real interests of clients.

How Is Progent Different from Other Support Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner consulting firm and Progent's staff size, depth of IT expertise, refined support tools, and familiarity with enterprise networking enable companies to avoid the limitations associated with exclusive reliance on smaller service organizations, individual freelance service providers, or over-stretched internal resources.

  • Full Documentation of IT Services

The discipline of documenting and archiving support activity allows more effective service and avoids a variety of typical problems such as when a support customer is effectively held hostage to a consultant who won't let go of the keys to the kingdom.

  • Remote Server Monitoring with MS Operations Manager
    Progent is one of the few support companies to offer 24x7 network monitoring services based on MS Operations Manager. Microsoft Operations Manager allows your computer support to be anticipatory instead of reactive. By revealing potential problems before they cause lost productivity, network monitoring can keep your information network from painful and costly service disruptions.
