Advantages of Progent's Network Help for Businesses in Washington DC
Progent's remote IT consulting services allow your Washington company to enjoy the advantages of on-call, enterprise-class IT support without the cost of managing an in-house IT staff. Your information system will acquire greater strategic worth by becoming more reliable, efficient, and secure. Benefits to your business include:
- Convenient remote extension of your on-site IT resources
With most businesses in Washington DC, local computer support resources, whether represented by freelance consultants or an in-house IT staff, can resolve the majority of network problems. On the other hand, IT crises may occur when your regular resources are too busy or unavailable, and some problems may stem from IT products that is beyond the scope of your usual service personnel. In these cases, Progent's on-call support professionals offer a convenient, fast, and economical way to supplement your local help and to convey useful knowledge to improve your ability to resolve future issues locally.
- Reduced Reliance on Freelance Consultants
For network support, smaller businesses often rely on individual freelance service providers. Although independent service people carry less overhead than big support organizations and can afford to charge lower rates, they are often overextended, making it hard to respond quickly to urgent situations. If a freelance service provider is occupied with another customer, ill, on vacation, or in class, the absence of reserve help may require your business to wait for help during an IT crisis. As your business expands, system unavailability and problems with critical software are more expensive. The budget you thought you were saving on an independent can be consumed quickly by reduced productivity. Progent offers a ready source of reserve support expertise to insure your network remains available.
- Create a Scalable Basis for Seamless Growth
Companies typically start with an IT system implemented on a modest budget. Without a robust infrastructure, slap-dash fixes often get piled onto a shaky foundation. As a company grows, stability and scalability problems can hinder the success of the business. Such badly built systems need careful assessment, intelligent long-term planning, and broad-based IT expertise to evolve to a system infrastructure that can provide the solid foundation to meet vital business demands and simplify future expansion.
- Work with Problem Solvers Rather Than Technology Vendors
Smaller offices require advice and technical education to negotiate an increasingly complex array of product options capable of accelerating business success and enhancing efficiency. They hardly need a computer consultant who is attempting to sell a certain vendor's technology. Network consulting and product sales can lead to a scenario where the recommended
solution is built around a profitable technology rather than the genuine requirements of a client. Progent avoids these dilemmas by offering only services instead of products. This allows Progent to match technical consulting with the best interests of customers.
What Makes Progent Unique from Other Service Firms?
Progent is a Microsoft Partner support firm and Progent's staff size, depth of IT knowledge, fine tuned support tools, and familiarity with enterprise networking enable offices to escape the pitfalls of excessive dependence on smaller consulting organizations, individual freelance consultants, or limited in-house IT help.
Progent adds value by providing:
- Best Practices
Progent's team of Microsoft and Cisco Premier consultants average longer than ten years of real-world industry experience, at the forefront of network support, executing a broad variety of IT tasks for an extensive array of customers.

This means that you get not just world-class IT skills, but also a consultant with field-tested approaches for applying technical knowledge to solve real-world network problems rapidly.
- Value Pricing
Progent's pricing policy is to bill for remote support and on-site help per minute. Consequently, you are charged only for delivered services. Progent does not demand a more expensive rate for after-hours or priority service, and inside California or in regions where Progent offers on-site support, Progent does not charge for travel time except for emergency calls where on-site work is less than 4 hours. Also, Progent imposes no initialization charge and requires no monthly commitment for support services provided during regular working hours. Many support firms demand large minimum fees or charge for each quarter hour or longer. Progent's one-minute granularity avoids large invoices for quick repairs so you won't be forced to allow less critical problems to fester.
- Knowledge Transfer
Progent is committed to knowledge transfer from Progent's support experts to clients. By educating clients to resolve technical issues that are within their comfort zone, Progent is able to concentrate on providing hard-to-find services where Progent has little competition. Companies who work with trusted independent service providers or who maintain internal support personnel benefit when Progent passes on information about new technology and tested methodologies to make their networks more robust, secure, and efficient.
- Automated Server Monitoring with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
Progent is one of the few support firms to provide round-the-clock network tracking services powered by Microsoft Operations Manager.
