Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Offices in Vancouver British Columbia
Progent's remote network troubleshooting services allow your Vancouver company to have the advantages of on-call, enterprise-level network support without the cost of maintaining a full-time IT organization. Your network will acquire added business worth by becoming more reliable, productive, and protected. Benefits to your business include:
- Convenient virtual extension of your on-site support resources
With most organizations in Vancouver British Columbia, nearby network service resources, whether represented by freelance consultants or an in-house IT staff, can handle typical technical issues. On the other hand, IT crises might occur when local support personnel are overstretched or absent, and some problems may involve IT products that is beyond the scope of your local service people. In these instances, Progent's online support professionals provide an easy, quick, and economical way to supplement your local resources and to pass on useful information to increase your ability to resolve future problems in-house.
- Reduced Dependence on Individual Service Providers
For IT support, smaller organizations often rely on individual freelance consultants. While freelance consultants carry less overhead than big consulting companies and can afford to charge lower rates, they are sometimes stretched too thin, making it hard to respond rapidly to crisis situations. If a freelance consultant is busy with another customer, sick, on vacation, or in class, the absence of backup personnel may require your company to wait for help during an emergency. As your business grows, system unavailability and trouble with vital software are more costly. The budget you thought you were saving on an independent can be eaten up quickly by reduced productivity. Progent offers an on-call source of backup support experts to make sure your network remains available.
- Build a Solid Basis for Smooth Growth
Companies often begin with an information system created on a shoestring budget. Lacking a strong framework, band-aid fixes can get piled onto an unstable foundation. When a network grows, stability and expandability issues can hinder the success of the organization. Such poorly designed environments require proper assessment, smart strategic planning, and broad-based IT knowledge to evolve to a system infrastructure that can provide the solid foundation to meet current business demands and facilitate future expansion.
- Work with Problem Solvers Rather Than Product Vendors
Smaller businesses need guidance and technical education to negotiate an increasingly complex maze of product alternatives available for promoting business success and enhancing productivity. These companies hardly need a network consultant who is attempting to earn a commission on a specific vendor's technology. Network consulting and product selling can lead to a scenario where the proposed
solution is built around a predetermined product rather than the genuine needs of a client. Progent avoids these dilemmas by selling just services instead of products. This enables Progent to match IT consulting with the best needs of customers.
How Is Progent Unique from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner consulting company and Progent's number of employees, range of IT expertise, fine tuned support software, and familiarity with corporate IT enable offices to avoid the limitations of excessive reliance on smaller service organizations, independent freelance consultants, or over-stretched in-house resources.
Progent adds value by providing:
- Certified Expertise in Microsoft's Complete Range of Server Platforms

- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing model is to bill for remote support and in-person visits by the minute. As a result, you owe just for received services. Progent does not impose a higher rate for off-hours or urgent service, and inside California or in regions where Progent provides on-site service, Progent does not bill for travel except for emergency calls where on-site work is less than four hours. In addition, Progent applies no minimum charge and asks no retainer for services delivered during regular business hours. Many support firms impose substantial minimum payments or charge for each fifteen minutes or longer. Progent's fine granularity does away with big invoices for fast fixes so you will not be forced to allow minor problems to stay unaddressed.
- Full Records of Delivered Services
Progent has created a sophisticated support reporting system that records and organizes complete documentation for all delivered support activities. Unlike many independent consultants or small support firms who offer scant documentation or details of tasks performed, every service provided by Progent is tracked by full documentation. Each Progent consultant has access to the service documentation sent by each staff member to every client. The practice of documenting and organizing support records allows more efficient service and avoids a variety of common misfortunes such as when a support client is virtually held captive to a consultant who refuses to let go of vital service information.
- 24x7 Network Monitoring with MS System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the only support companies to provide 24x7 network monitoring services based on Microsoft System Center Operations Manager. Microsoft Operations Manager allows your computer maintenance to be proactive instead of reactive.
