Advantages of Progent's IT Support for Companies in Houston Texas
Progent's remote support services allow your Houston organization to enjoy the benefits of timely, enterprise-class network support without the expense of managing a full-time IT staff. Your information system will acquire greater strategic worth by becoming more available, productive, and protected. Benefits to your business include:

  • Seamless virtual extension of your on-site IT resources
    With most offices in Houston Texas, nearby network service providers, whether made up of freelance consultants or an in-house IT staff, can solve the majority of technical problems. However, IT crises might occur when your regular resources are too busy or absent, and some problems may be associated with technology that is beyond the scope of your local service people. In these situations, Progent's on-call support specialists give you an easy, fast, and budget-friendly way to supplement your local help and to pass on useful knowledge to increase your capability to deal with future problems in-house.

  • Reduced Dependence on Individual Service Providers
    For network support, smaller offices commonly rely on independent freelance consultants. While independent consultants carry smaller overhead than larger support companies and can often charge marginally less, they are sometimes overextended, making it difficult to respond quickly to urgent situations. If a freelance consultant is occupied with another client, ill, on a trip, or in training, the absence of reserve personnel may force your company to go without help during an emergency. As your network expands, network unavailability and problems with vital applications become more costly. The budget you thought you were conserving on an independent can be eaten up fast by reduced productivity. Progent offers a ready source of reserve support expertise to make sure your network stays up and running.

  • Create a Scalable Basis for Seamless Growth
    Businesses often start with an IT system implemented on a shoestring budget. Without a strong infrastructure, band-aid repairs often get thrown onto a weak foundation. As a company grows, stability and expandability issues can impede the success of the organization. Such badly designed systems need careful assessment, intelligent long-term planning, and extensive technical knowledge to upgrade to a network architecture that can deliver the solid foundation to handle current business demands and ease future growth.

  • Interact with Problem Solvers Rather Than Technology Resellers
    Smaller organizations require advice and technical training to navigate through an increasingly complex array of technology options capable of accelerating business growth and improving efficiency. They hardly need a computer consultant who is motivated to resell a certain vendor's technology. IT support and product sales can result in a situation where the recommended solution is designed around a predetermined technology instead of the genuine requirements of a client. Progent eliminates these dilemmas by selling only services instead of products. This enables Progent to align IT expertise with the real interests of customers.

What Makes Progent Different from Other Support Organizations?
Progent is a Microsoft Certified Partner consulting company and Progent's head count, depth of technical background, fine tuned support tools, and understanding of corporate IT enable businesses to escape the limitations of exclusive reliance on smaller service organizations, independent freelance consultants, or over-stretched in-house resources.

Progent stands out by offering:

  • Best Practices
    Progent's staff of Microsoft and Cisco Premier Certified experts average more than ten years of real-world industry experience, at the front lines of network support, performing a wide variety of IT tasks for a large array of customers.

This ensures that you get not just expert IT skills, but also a support engineer with proven approaches for using computer knowledge to fix real-world IT problems rapidly.

  • Value Pricing
    Progent's pricing policy is to bill for online support and on-site help per minute. As a result, you owe just for received support. Progent does not demand a higher rate for after-hours or urgent support, and within California or in areas where Progent provides on-site service, Progent does not bill for travel except for emergency support where on-site time is less than four hours. Also, Progent applies no startup fee and requires no retainer for support services delivered during regular business hours. Many service organizations impose large minimum fees or charge for every quarter hour or longer. Progent's fine granularity avoids large invoices for fast repairs so you won't be forced to permit minor problems to stay unaddressed.

  • Information Transfer
    Progent practices knowledge transfer from Progent's support experts to customers. By educating clients to deal with technical issues that are within their comfort zone, Progent is able to concentrate on offering high-value services where Progent faces few competitors. Companies who utilize familiar freelance service providers or who maintain internal support personnel benefit when Progent passes on knowledge about new technology and tested processes to make their IT environments more reliable, protected, and efficient.

  • Automated Network Monitoring with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
    Progent is one of the few IT service companies to provide round-the-clock network monitoring services based on Microsoft Operations Manager. Microsoft Operations Manager causes your network support to be proactive rather than reactive. By anticipating potential issues before they result in lost productivity, network monitoring can save your IT network from painful and costly availability disruptions.
