Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Organizations in Sioux Falls South Dakota
Progent's remote technical help services allow your Sioux Falls business to realize the benefits of immediate, expert network support without the cost of maintaining a full-time IT organization. Your information system will derive greater strategic worth by becoming increasingly available, productive, and secure. Advantages to your company include:

  • Convenient virtual extension of your local support resources
    With most offices in Sioux Falls South Dakota, nearby computer service resources, whether represented by freelance consultants or an internal IT staff, can resolve typical network issues. On the other hand, IT crises might occur when your regular resources are overstretched or unavailable, and some trouble may be associated with IT products that is beyond the scope of your local service personnel. In these cases, Progent's online support professionals give you a convenient, quick, and economical solution to augment your regular help and to pass on valuable information to improve your capability to handle future issues locally.

  • Less Dependence on Freelance Service Providers
    For IT maintenance, smaller companies commonly depend on individual freelance service providers. While freelance consultants carry smaller internal costs than big consulting organizations and can afford to charge marginally less, they are often stretched too thin, making it difficult to respond quickly to urgent situations. If a freelance consultant is occupied with another customer, sick, on vacation, or in class, the lack of backup personnel may require your company to go without assistance during an IT crisis. As your network grows, network downtime and trouble with vital applications become more costly. The money you thought you were saving on a freelancer can be consumed fast by lost productivity. Progent provides an on-call source of reserve service expertise to insure your IT system stays up and running.

  • Build a Scalable Basis for Seamless Expansion
    Companies typically begin with an information architecture created on a shoestring budget. Lacking a scalable framework, slap-dash repairs often get piled on top of an unstable foundation. As a network grows, reliability and expandability problems can impede the success of the business. These poorly built systems require careful analysis, intelligent long-term planning, and broad-based technical expertise to evolve to a system architecture that can offer the stable foundation to meet current business requirements and simplify downstream expansion.

  • Work with Problem Solvers Instead of Technology Sellers
    Smaller companies require guidance and technical education to negotiate an increasingly complex maze of technology alternatives available for promoting business growth and improving productivity. Businesses do not need a network engineer who is attempting to resell a certain vendor's technology. IT support and product sales can lead to a scenario where the proposed solution is designed around a profitable technology instead of the true needs of a client. Progent avoids these dilemmas by selling only services instead of products. This enables Progent to align IT consulting with the best interests of clients.

How Is Progent Different from Other Support Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner consulting company and Progent's number of employees, breadth of IT experience, fine tuned support software, and familiarity with enterprise networking allow offices to avoid the pitfalls of excessive dependence on smaller service organizations, independent freelance consultants, or limited internal IT help.

Progent adds value by offering:

  • Best Practices
    Progent's staff of Microsoft and Cisco Certified consultants average longer than a decade of hands-on industry background, at the front lines of IT service, executing a broad variety of technical tasks for a large array of customers. Every Progent support professional shares a refined set of personal best practices which are incorporated into shared leading practices standards that Progent instills in its support team. This ensures that you get not just expert technical skills, but also a consultant with field-tested approaches for using computer knowledge to solve real-world IT problems quickly.

  • Value Pricing
    Progent's pricing model is to charge for remote service and on-premises help per minute. Consequently, you pay only for delivered support. Progent does not demand a more expensive rate for after-hours or priority service, and within California or in areas where Progent provides in-person service, Progent does not charge for travel except for urgent support where on-site time is less than 4 hours. In addition, Progent imposes no initialization fee and requires no retainer for services provided during regular working hours. Many support firms demand substantial minimum fees or charge for every fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity does away with big invoices for fast solutions so you will not be forced to allow simple problems to fester.

  • Knowledge Transfer
    Progent is committed to knowledge transfer from Progent's support experts to customers. By educating clients to handle technical issues that are within their comfort zone, Progent can focus on providing high-value services where Progent has few competitors. Businesses who work with familiar independent consultants or who maintain in-house IT staffs benefit when Progent transfers information about new technology and proven processes to make their IT environments more robust, secure, and efficient.

  • 24x7 Server Monitoring with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
    Progent is one of the only IT service companies to provide 24x7 network tracking services powered by Microsoft System Center Operations Manager.
