Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Companies in Walnut Creek California
Progent's online technical help services allow your Walnut Creek business to enjoy the advantages of immediate, expert IT support without the cost of managing an in-house IT organization. Your information system will derive added strategic worth by being more reliable, productive, and protected. Benefits to your company include:
- Seamless virtual extension of your local support resources
For most companies in Walnut Creek California, local network support resources, whether represented by independent consultants or an internal maintenance staff, can handle the majority of network problems. However, serious problems can occur when your regular resources are overstretched or absent, and some trouble may be associated with IT products that is unfamiliar to your onsite service technicians. In these instances, Progent's on-call support specialists offer a convenient, fast, and affordable solution to augment your local resources and to convey useful knowledge to improve your ability to resolve downstream problems locally.
- Less Reliance on Individual Service Providers
For network maintenance, smaller organizations often depend on independent freelance consultants. While freelance service people carry less overhead than larger consulting companies and can afford to charge marginally less, they are sometimes stretched too thin, making it hard to respond quickly to crisis situations. If a freelance service provider is busy with another customer, sick, on vacation, or in class, the lack of reserve personnel may require your company to wait for assistance during an emergency. As your network expands, system downtime and trouble with critical applications are more costly. The money you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be consumed fast by reduced productivity. Progent offers an on-call source of backup support expertise to make sure your network stays up and running.
- Create a Scalable Basis for Smooth Growth
Organizations typically begin with an information architecture created on a shoestring budget. Without a scalable framework, slap-dash repairs can get thrown onto a shaky foundation. As a company grows, stability and expandability problems can hinder the success of the organization. These badly designed environments require proper analysis, smart long-term planning, and extensive IT expertise to upgrade to a system infrastructure that can deliver the solid foundation to handle current business requirements and ease downstream growth.
- Work with Solution Providers Rather Than Product Resellers
Smaller organizations require advice and technical education to negotiate an ever more complex array of technology alternatives capable of accelerating business success and enhancing efficiency. These companies do not need a network engineer who is motivated to earn a commission on a certain vendor's technology. IT support and product selling can lead to a situation where the recommended
solution is designed around a predetermined technology instead of the true requirements of a business. Progent eliminates these conflicts of interest by selling only services rather than products. This enables Progent to match technical consulting with the real needs of clients.
What Makes Progent Different from Other Service Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner support company and Progent's head count, depth of technical expertise, fine tuned remote support tools, and understanding of corporate IT enable companies to escape the pitfalls associated with exclusive dependence on smaller service organizations, independent freelance service providers, or over-stretched internal IT help.

- Full Documentation of IT Services
Progent has developed a comprehensive support reporting system that records and organizes complete documentation for all delivered services. Unlike some independent consultants or local support firms who offer minimal documentation or details of services done, every service provided by Progent is accompanied by full documentation. Each Progent consultant has access to the service reports transmitted by each consultant to every client. The discipline of detailing and archiving support records results in more effective service and eliminates a variety of typical problems such as when a service client is virtually held captive to a consultant who won't release vital service information.
- 24x7 Server Monitoring with MS Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few IT service firms to offer 24x7 network monitoring services based on MS Operations Manager. Microsoft Operations Manager causes your network support to be proactive instead of reactive. By anticipating potential problems before they cause lost productivity, system monitoring can save your IT network from painful and expensive service disruptions.
