Details Concerning Work at Progent

Career Jobs for Network Consultants, Desktop Service Technicians,
Security Experts, and Remote Support Professionals
Progent is seeking to hire fulltime, results-driven Microsoft accredited consultants with Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer certification; Cisco accredited network consultants with CCIE certification; security professionals who have CISSP, CISM, or CISA or comparable security certification; and high-end system design experts with experience in mobile access, wireless connectivity, service continuity, business continuity, information preservation, and server virtualization. Progent also is hiring professionals who can work on our team of help desk service technicians and off-site support experts. In addition, We are hiring talented administrators able to perform effectively in our fast-paced, virtual office environment.

By supporting a team of talented and motivated professionals, delivering attentive customer care, and following a strong value-focused fee structure, We have been able to expand our customer list rapidly while providing professional support to hundreds of companies in the San Francisco area and throughout the United States. An advanced virtual office environment, a common knowledge database, and a team strategy for problem solving have helped Progent to retain a talented staff and a satisfied client list.

For a network professional with troubleshooting expertise, joining Progent or working for Progent's clients will enhance your skills via interaction with Progent's group of mutually supportive, talented consultants. Our commitment to providing information technology consulting and technical support to small and midsize organizations will offer you the chance to work closely with key players and add significantly to the growth of exciting businesses.

Progent is looking for technical professionals who have recognized credentials related to their technical focus. So, if you are a Microsoft expert, you must have your Microsoft MCSE credential. In the case of Cisco experts, have your CCIE or CCNP credential. For network security, you should have earned you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, Certified Information Systems Auditor, CISM, or other leading security certifications. Naturally, we are familiar with “paper MCSEs.” However, the fact that a certificate does not ensure expertise is no reason for not owning one. If you know your stuff, then the majority of those tests should be no challenge. The bottom line is that if you call yourself a professional, then clients deserve to see certifications. Progent will broadcast your skills, but you must have basic credentials for us to market. In case you stand adamantly opposed to the concept of credentials, Progent can understand and honor your position, but you are likely not an appropriate fit.

Enhance Your Abilities with the Best Technology and
Joining a Great Team of Computer Engineers
Progent's business climate will allow you to become a more capable consultant by enhancing your technical skills and increasing the satisfaction of your customers. Progent delivers on this promise by recruiting the best consulting experts for you to work with, offering an advanced network and communications infrastructure, running specialized software tools to deliver the maximum level of support, and by streamlining proven operational structures for attracting and keeping customers.

The main factor that differentiates us from other network support companies is the high quality of our consulting team. Out of the 50 or so consulting experts who have teamed with Progent, we have assembled top talent across a wide range of technologies. Be it Microsoft Windows, Cisco switches, network security, Macintosh, Linux, server virtualization, or other key technologies, we engage professionals who can help you to be successful on larger jobs by combining the aggregate skills of Progent's team of experts.

To promote the success of Progent's consultants, we invest heavily in making available the best technology to do the job efficiently. We will exploit technology to an extraordinary extent and our state-of-the-art virtual office infrastructure allows effortless connectivity, cooperation, and knowledge sharing with other Progent team members — all from home-based or mobile offices. Consultants don't waste time or forfeit revenue with daily drives to a physical office building, and all driving you do for in-person customer jobs is based on your schedule, not ours. The best benefit is that much of our support services can be performed off-site, representing 100% productivity for income-producing time. In practice, some Progent staff do remote support exclusively.

Our operations are geared towards reacting quickly and effectively to client needs through knowledge exchange and cooperative problem solving. Although Progent's consultants operate with a high level of freedom, dispatching is unified, customer issues and resolutions are carefully monitored, documented, and organized for easy reference, up-to-date consultant schedules are broadcast to facilitate team projects and enable problem escalation, and customer satisfaction is continually monitored. We strengthen the feeling of connection through periodic workgroup meetings and regular company-wide events.

The majority of our consultants are situated across California, but we are attracting a rapidly expanding team of consulting experts from across the United States. Our virtual office environment does away with geographic obstacles that restrict the efficiency of conventional business models. We complete the package by offering a full employee care plan to ensure the health and financial security of our employees and their families.

Just as we have world-class consultants, Progent's marketing and administration groups match the high standards that characterizes Progent. These high-performance factors behind Progent's growth are enabling us to identify and sign up the 50-60 new customers we are currently acquiring each month. Progent lately celebrated the providing of support to our 1,000th client. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why Progent is also an effective marketing organization.

Having a passion for technical excellence is a key for success with us. A career in consulting will push you to enhance your skills more than is possible in any other position in information technology. Being confronted by a steady series of technical challenges is what makes consulting interesting. Clients rely on a consultant to perform the “hard stuff.” Creative projects, leading-edge implementations, vexing or entrenched problems, and tricky migrations are the foundation for our services daily. At Progent, you will not stall or be pigeonholed, as is sadly common for network professionals in traditional corporate jobs. You will awake every morning enthusiastic about the challenges ahead.

Along the way, you will meet some great people, both by building strong client relationships and by working in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and contribute to their success. Of course, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-oriented company heart and soul. If you don't have strong communications skills or like cooperating with a diverse assortment of personalities, then we are in all likelihood not a good fit.

If this sounds right for you, we invite you to contact Progent about our view of the future of network consulting.
