We are looking for technical professionals who have verifiable credentials in their special focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft expert, you should have your Microsoft MCSE credential.

We will market your skills, but you need to have standard certifications for Progent to market. If you are adamantly opposed to the idea of credentials, Progent can understand and respect your position, but you are likely not a good fit.

Working with the Top Group of Network Engineers

Progent delivers on this commitment by recruiting the top consulting talent for you to work with, offering an advanced system infrastructure, using specialized software tools to enable the highest level of service, and by optimizing our business models for finding and retaining clients.

The main factor that differentiates Progent from most consulting companies is the quality of our consultants.

Whether it's Microsoft servers, Cisco switches, network security, Macintosh, Linux/UNIX, virtual servers, or other key technologies, we deploy professionals who can enable you to be effective on major projects by combining the collective experience of Progent's group of experts.

To ensure the success of our consultants, we invest heavily in providing the most powerful technology to do the job efficiently. We will exploit information technology to an impressive extent and our state-of-the-art virtual office infrastructure allows seamless communications, cooperation, and information exchange with fellow Progent consultants — entirely from at-home or on-the-road offices. Consultants don't waste time or lose revenue with daily drives to a conventional office, and any travel you do for in-person client work is determined by your own schedule, not Progent's. The most attractive part is that most of Progent's support work can be done off-site, offering 100% efficiency for income-producing hours. In practice, some of our team members do remote consulting only.

Progent's business structure is geared towards responding quickly and effectively to client requirements via information sharing and cooperative problem resolution. Even though our engineers work with a high level of independence, dispatching is unified, client issues and solutions are carefully monitored, recorded, and organized for convenient retrieval, up-to-date consultant schedules are broadcast to facilitate team projects and enable trouble escalation, and customer satisfaction is continually monitored. We strengthen the feeling of connection via periodic workgroup meetings and regular company-wide events.

Most of our team is situated throughout California, however we are attracting a quickly expanding group of consulting professionals throughout America. Progent's virtual office environment eliminates geographic obstacles that restrict the efficiency of traditional business structures.

Not only do we have awesome consulting professionals, Progent's marketing and operations groups match the high standards that characterizes Progent. These high-performance factors behind our success are helping us to target and land the scores of new customers we are now acquiring each month. We lately marked the delivery of support to our 1,000th customer. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why we are also a strong sales operation.

Possessing a passion for technical excellence is a key for growth with us. A career in consulting will push you to learn more than you would in any other position in network technology. Being confronted by a continual stream of network challenges is what keeps professional support exciting. Clients rely on a consultant to perform the toughest jobs. Innovative tasks, leading-edge implementations, puzzling or chronic issues, and tricky upgrades are the basis for what we do daily. With us, you will not stagnate or be pigeonholed, as is sadly common for network engineers in traditional corporate roles. You will awake every morning enthusiastic about the challenges ahead.

On the way, you will meet some great people, both by establishing close client relationships and by operating in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will learn from and add to their growth. Yes, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-oriented organization heart and soul. If you do not have strong people skills or like working with a diverse assortment of people, then we are in all likelihood not a good match.

If this seems right for you, we urge you to contact Progent about our vision of the new paradigm of network consulting.
