Staff Work for Network Engineers, Desktop Service Specialists,
Security Experts, and Online Help Professionals
Progent wants to hire full-time, solutions-driven Microsoft accredited consultants with Microsoft MCSE certification; Cisco certified network engineers with Cisco credentials; security consultants with CISSP, CISM, or CISA or equivalent security certification; and high-end system architecture experts with a background in mobile solutions, wireless networking, high availability, disaster recovery, data preservation, and virtual servers. Progent also is hiring employees who can join Progent's staff of helpdesk support technicians and off-site support experts. Also, Progent is looking for talented managers who can perform productively in Progent's high-growth, virtual office environment.

By maintaining a team of skilled and motivated professionals, providing world-class customer care, and offering a strong value-based fee model, We have managed to increase our client base dramatically while providing professional services to hundreds of businesses in the San Francisco area and throughout the U.S. An advanced virtual office network, a shared knowledge base, and a group strategy for problem resolution have allowed Progent to maintain a talented staff and a satisfied customer base.

For a network professional with technical support experience, joining Progent or helping Progent's clients will enhance your knowledge through cooperation with our group of mutually supportive, expert engineers. Our commitment to delivering information technology consulting and computer support to small and midsize companies will offer you the opportunity to work closely with key players and contribute significantly to the success of dynamic companies.

We are hiring technical professionals who have verifiable certification related to their special focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you should have your MCSE credential. In the case of Cisco experts, have your CCIE or Cisco Certified Network Professional credential. For network security, you should have earned you CISSP, CISA, Certified Information Security Manager, or other top security credentials. Of course, we are aware of “paper MCSEs.” Nevertheless, simply because a certificate does not ensure excellence is no justification for not earning one. If you know your stuff, then most of these certifications should be no great difficulty. The crux of the matter is that if you represent yourself to be an expert, then clients deserve to see credentials. Progent will promote your talents, but you need to have basic certifications for us to market. If you are adamantly opposed to the idea of credentials, Progent can understand and honor your opinion, but you are likely not a good candidate.

Enhance Your Skills with the Best Technology and
Working with the Top Team of Network Engineers
Progent's company culture will make you a more capable professional by enhancing your information technology skills and boosting the satisfaction of your customers. Progent delivers on this promise by attracting the best consulting experts for you to work with, providing an advanced system infrastructure, using proprietary software tools to enable the highest level of support, and by optimizing our operational structures for finding and keeping customers.

The most important factor that differentiates us from typical network support companies is the quality of our support professionals. Out of the 50 or so consultants who have teamed with Progent, we have assembled the best talent covering a broad array of technologies. Whether it's Microsoft servers, Cisco firewalls, corporate security, Mac, Linux, server virtualization, or other key areas, we deploy experts who can help you to be successful on major projects by leveraging the aggregate experience of Progent's group of experts.

To ensure the productivity of Progent's team, we invest heavily in providing the best tools to perform the job properly. We will exploit technology to an impressive degree and our state-of-the-art virtual office environment enables effortless communications, collaboration, and knowledge exchange with fellow Progent team members — entirely from home-based or mobile offices. You don't waste time or forfeit income with daily commutes to a physical office building, and any driving you do for on-site customer work is based on your time table, not ours. The best benefit is that most of Progent's consulting work can be performed off-site, representing 100% efficiency for billable time. In fact, some of our team members do remote support only.

Our business structure is geared towards reacting rapidly and efficiently to client requirements through knowledge sharing and cooperative problem solving. Even though our engineers operate with a great deal of freedom, resource allocation is centralized, customer issues and resolutions are carefully tracked, recorded, and organized for convenient retrieval, up-to-date engineer availability is published to streamline group projects and enable problem escalation, and client approval is always monitored. We reinforce the feeling of connection through periodic workgroup meetings and regular company-wide events.

Most of Progent's consultants are situated across California, but Progent is attracting a rapidly growing team of network experts from across America. Progent's virtual office environment eliminates geographic boundaries that limit the efficiency of conventional business models. We enhance the deal by providing a comprehensive employee care program to promote the health and economic welfare of our employees and their relations.

Not only do we have awesome consultants, our sales and operations teams live up to the high standards that defines Progent. These high-performance factors behind our success are helping us to target and sign up the 50-60 new clients we are now acquiring each month. We lately celebrated the providing 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 marketing operation.

Possessing a commitment to technical proficiency is a key for growth with us. A job in consulting will drive you to learn more than is possible in any other position in network technology. Being confronted by a continual stream of technical challenges is what keeps professional support interesting. Customers choose consulting firms to do the “hard stuff.” Creative projects, advanced deployments, vexing or chronic problems, and tricky upgrades are the basis for what we do every day. With us, you will not stall or be pigeonholed, as is all too common for computer engineers in ordinary corporate roles. You will awake every day excited about the challenges to come.

Along the way, you will work with some wonderful folks, both by building close customer contacts and by operating closely with other Progent consultants, where you will benefit from and contribute to their growth. Of course, technology is vital, but we are a relationship-oriented organization heart and soul. If you don't have excellent people skills or like working with a diverse group of personalities, then Progent is in all likelihood not a good fit.

If all this sounds good to you, we urge you to contact Progent about our view of the new paradigm of network consulting.
