Details About Opportunities at Progent

Fulltime Jobs for Network Engineers, Computer Service Specialists,
Security Experts, and Remote Support Technicians
Progent wants to hire fulltime, results-oriented Microsoft certified consultants with Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer credentials; Cisco certified network consultants who have CCIE credentials; security professionals who have CISSP, CISM, or CISA or comparable security credentials; and high-end network architecture consultants with a background in mobile access, wireless networking, high availability, business continuity, information preservation, and server virtualization.

By supporting a staff of talented and motivated professionals, delivering world-class client care, and following a competitive value-based fee model, Progent has been able to increase our client base rapidly while delivering professional services to numerous companies in the San Francisco area and across the United States. A sophisticated virtual office network, a common knowledge base, and a team approach to problem solving have allowed Progent to maintain a talented staff and a satisfied customer list.

If you are an information technology professional with technical support expertise, joining Progent or helping our customers will enhance your knowledge through interaction with Progent's group of mutually supportive, talented consultants. Our focus on providing network consulting and computer help to small companies will give you the opportunity to work closely with key players and contribute appreciably to the success of exciting companies.

Progent is looking for technical professionals that have verifiable credentials related to their special expertise. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you must have your Microsoft MCSE credential. In the case of Cisco consultants, have your CCIE or Cisco Certified Network Professional credential. For security, you should have earned you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, Certified Information Systems Auditor, CISM, or other top security certifications. Of course, Progent is familiar with “paper MCSEs.” Still, the fact that a certificate can not ensure expertise is no reason for not owning one. If you have mastered your stuff, then most of these certifications should present no challenge. The bottom line is that if you are a professional, then customers expect certifications. Progent can market your talents, but you need to provide standard certifications for us to work with. In case you are strongly against the concept of certifications, Progent can understand and honor your position, but you are probably not an appropriate candidate.

The main factor that distinguishes us from ordinary consulting companies is the high quality of our support professionals.

Whether it's Microsoft Windows, Cisco switches, corporate security, Macintosh, Linux, VMware, or other key technologies, we deploy experts who can enable you to be effective on major jobs by leveraging the aggregate skills of our team of experts.

To promote the productivity of Progent's team, we invest significantly in providing the best tools to perform the job efficiently. Progent will exploit information technology to an impressive degree and our advanced virtual office environment allows seamless connectivity, cooperation, and knowledge exchange with other Progent team members — all from home-based or on-the-road offices. You don't waste time or forfeit revenue with regular commutes to a conventional office, and all travel you do for on-site client work is determined by your schedule, not Progent's. The most attractive benefit is that much of our support work can be performed remotely, representing 100% efficiency for billable hours. In fact, some Progent team members do off-site consulting exclusively.

Progent's operations are set up for responding quickly and effectively to customer requirements via knowledge exchange and collaborative problem solving. Although our engineers work with a high level of independence, dispatching is centralized, client problems and resolutions are meticulously monitored, documented, and organized for easy reference, up-to-date engineer availability is broadcast to facilitate group projects and enable trouble escalation, and customer approval is always evaluated. We reinforce the sense of connection via monthly workgroup conferences and regular corporate events.

The majority of Progent's consultants are situated throughout California, but we are building a rapidly expanding group of consulting professionals throughout the U.S. Progent's virtual office environment eliminates regional obstacles that limit the productivity of traditional business structures. We complete the package by providing a comprehensive employee care plan to promote the physical health and economic welfare of our team members and their families.

These high-performance factors behind Progent's growth are enabling us to identify and sign up the 50-60 new clients we are currently acquiring every month. Progent recently marked the delivery of support to our 1,000th customer. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why Progent is also a strong marketing organization.

Having a commitment to technical excellence is a key for success with us. A job in consulting will push you to enhance your skills more than is possible in any other job in information technology. Being confronted by a continual series of technical challenges is what makes professional support interesting. Clients rely on consulting firms to do the “hard stuff.” Creative tasks, advanced deployments, puzzling or chronic problems, and tricky migrations are the foundation for our services daily. At Progent, you will not stagnate or be narrowly defined, as is all too common for network engineers in ordinary corporate roles. You will wake up every day enthusiastic about the opportunities ahead.

Along the way, you will meet some great folks, both by establishing close client relationships and by operating in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will learn from and contribute to their growth. Of course, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-focused organization heart and soul. If you don't offer excellent communications skills or like cooperating with a diverse assortment of personalities, then Progent is probably not a good match.

If this seems right for you, we urge you to contact us about our view of the future of information technology consulting.
