More Information About Jobs at Progent

Fulltime Jobs for Network Engineers, Desktop Service Technicians,
Security Consultants, and Remote Support Professionals
Progent wants to find full-time, solutions-oriented Microsoft accredited consultants with Microsoft MCSE or MCSA certification; Cisco accredited system engineers with Cisco CCIE credentials; security consultants with CISA or equivalent security credentials; and high-end system architecture consultants with a background in mobile access, wireless networking, fault tolerance, disaster recovery, data protection, and virtual servers. Progent also is hiring employees who can work on our staff of helpdesk service specialists and remote support experts. Also, We are seeking experienced administrators who can perform productively in Progent's fast-paced, virtual office culture.

By supporting a staff of talented and dedicated consultants, delivering world-class client care, and offering a strong results-focused pricing model, We have managed to increase our client base dramatically while delivering professional support to hundreds of companies in the San Francisco area and throughout the United States. A sophisticated virtual office network, a shared knowledge database, and a team approach to problem solving have allowed Progent to maintain a talented staff and a loyal client list.

If you are a network professional with technical support experience, joining Progent or working for our clients can enhance your knowledge via interaction with Progent's group of mutually team-oriented, talented consultants. Our focus on delivering information technology expertise and technical help to small organizations will offer you the chance to collaborate intimately with decision makers and add appreciably to the success of exciting businesses.

We are hiring technical professionals that have verifiable credentials in their special focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you must have earned your Microsoft MCSE credential. In the case of Cisco consultants, have your CCIE or CCNP credential. For security, you should show you CISSP, CISA, CISM, or one of the other leading security certifications. Of course, we are familiar with “paper MCSEs.” Notwithstanding, the fact that a certificate does not ensure excellence is no reason for not earning one. If you know your stuff, then most of those certifications should pose no great difficulty. The bottom line is that if you are an expert, then customers expect credentials. Progent can market your talents, but you need to provide basic credentials for us to market. If you stand strongly opposed to the concept of certifications, Progent can sympathize with and respect your opinion, but you are likely not a good fit.

Improve Your Abilities with the Best Technology and
Working with the Top Group of Network Consultants
Progent's company culture will make you a better professional by enhancing your technical skills and increasing the loyalty of your clients. Progent makes good on this commitment by attracting the top professional talent for you to operate with, offering a state-of-the-art network and communications architecture, using specialized software tools to enable the maximum quality of service, and by optimizing our operational structures for finding and keeping customers.

The decisive factor that separates us from other consulting firms is the quality of our consultants. Out of the 50 or so consultants who have teamed with us, we have assembled the best talent covering a wide range of technical areas. Whether it's Microsoft Windows, Cisco switches, network security, Mac, Linux/UNIX, server virtualization, or other vital application, we deploy professionals who can enable you to be successful on larger jobs by combining the collective experience of our team of experts.

To promote the productivity of Progent's consultants, we invest significantly in making available the most powerful tools to do the job efficiently. We will exploit technology to an extraordinary degree and our state-of-the-art virtual office infrastructure allows effortless communications, cooperation, and knowledge exchange with fellow Progent team members — all from home-based or mobile offices. Consultants don't waste time or lose income because of daily commutes to a physical office building, and any driving you do for in-person customer work is determined by your own time table, not ours. The most attractive benefit is that most of our support work can be done off-site, offering 100% efficiency for income-producing hours. In practice, some of our staff do off-site consulting exclusively.

Progent's business structure is geared towards responding quickly and effectively to client requirements via knowledge exchange and collaborative problem resolution. Even though our engineers work with a great deal of independence, dispatching is unified, client issues and solutions are carefully tracked, recorded, and organized for easy reference, current engineer schedules are broadcast to facilitate team tasks and simplify problem escalation, and customer approval is always monitored. We reinforce the feeling of cooperation through monthly workgroup meetings and regular company-wide events.

Most of Progent's team is located throughout California, but we are attracting a rapidly growing team of consulting experts from across America. Progent's virtual office infrastructure eliminates regional obstacles that restrict the productivity of conventional company structures. We complete the package by providing a comprehensive employee care program to ensure the health and financial welfare of our employees and their families.

Just as we have world-class consulting professionals, our marketing and administration groups match the excellence that defines Progent. These high-performance factors behind Progent's success are enabling us to target and land the 50-60 new clients we are now acquiring every month. We lately marked the delivery of services to our 1,000th customer. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why Progent is also a strong sales operation.

Having a commitment to technical proficiency is a key for growth with Progent. A career in consulting will push you to learn more than is possible in any other job in network technology. Being exposed to a continual series of network challenges is what makes consulting exciting. Customers choose consultants to do the “hard stuff.” Creative tasks, leading-edge implementations, puzzling or entrenched problems, and tricky upgrades are the foundation for what we do 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 awake every morning excited about the challenges to come.

Along the way, you will work with some great folks, both by establishing close client relationships and by working closely with other Progent consultants, where you will benefit from and add to their growth. Of course, technology is important, but we are a relationship-oriented company heart and soul. If you do not offer strong communications skills or like working with a diverse assortment of personalities, then Progent is in all likelihood not a good fit.

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

Progent's Advanced Virtual Office Environment
