for Small and Midsize Business Computer Networks
Affordable IT management, support and Help Desk services for businesses with 50-250 network users
Mid-size businesses with 50-250 network users can typically benefit from an IT support plan that utilizes co-sourcing, i.e., relying on in-house IT personnel for day-to-day network support issues and using external consultants to provide advanced expertise as needed. Small to medium-size businesses can now have all the advantages of Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) ' including increased network uptime, throughput, and security ' and also have reliable access to Progent's Microsoft certified service professionals. With Progent's economically priced IT support options, you can choose a standard co-sourcing package built around SCOM with monitoring, alerts, analytics, Help Desk, and online or onsite troubleshooting, or a comprehensive 24x7x365 solution.
