Details Concerning Work with Us

Fulltime Work for Network Engineers, Computer Support Technicians,
Security Experts, and Online Support Technicians
Progent is seeking to hire staff-level, results-driven Microsoft accredited consultants with MCSE or MCP credentials; Cisco accredited system engineers with Cisco CCIE credentials; security professionals with CISM or comparable security certification; and advanced system design experts with a background in mobile access, wireless connectivity, high availability, workplace recovery, information preservation, and server virtualization. Progent also is hiring employees to work on Progent's staff of helpdesk service technicians and remote support experts. Also, Progent is seeking talented administrators who can operate productively in Progent's fast-paced, virtual office culture.

By maintaining a team of skilled and motivated consultants, delivering world-class client services, and offering a competitive results-based pricing structure, Progent has been able to expand our customer base dramatically while delivering consulting support to hundreds of businesses in the San Francisco area and throughout the U.S. A sophisticated virtual office network, a shared information database, and a team approach to problem resolution 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 our clients can enhance your knowledge through cooperation with Progent's group of highly team-oriented, talented consultants. Progent's focus on delivering network consulting and technical support to small organizations will give you the chance to collaborate closely with key players and contribute significantly to the success of dynamic companies.

We are hiring consultants that have verifiable credentials in their technical focus. So, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you should have earned your Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer credential. In the case of Cisco professionals, have your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or Cisco Certified Network Professional credential. For network security, you should have earned you CISSP, CISA, Certified Information Security Manager, or one of the other leading security credentials. Naturally, Progent is familiar with “paper MCSEs.” Still, simply because a credential can not ensure excellence is no reason for not earning one. If you have mastered your stuff, then the majority of those certifications should pose no challenge. The bottom line is that if you call yourself a professional, then clients expect certifications. Progent will broadcast your talents, but you need to have a baseline of certifications for Progent to work with. If you are strongly opposed to the concept of credentials, Progent can understand and respect your opinion, but you are likely not an appropriate fit.

Contract Work for certified Experts for

• As a 1099 subcontractor to Progent, you get simplified, risk-free invoicing and consistent payment schedules. In addition, Progent is responsible for receivables collection

• You need to show a strong background as a consultant working independently in your area of expertise, including a minimum two year record of successful consulting jobs and/or have your own active customer base for whom you now deliver ongoing consulting services.

Enhance Your Abilities with the Best Technology and
Joining the Top Team of Computer Engineers
Progent's business climate will allow you to become a better consulting professional by improving your information technology skills and boosting the satisfaction of your clients. Progent makes good on this promise by recruiting the top professional talent for you to operate with, providing a state-of-the-art network and communications architecture, running specialized software tools to enable the maximum level of service, and by optimizing proven business models for attracting and retaining clients.

The decisive factor that separates Progent from most network support firms is the excellence of our support professionals. Among the scores of consulting experts who have teamed with Progent, we have recruited top expertise across a broad array of technologies. Be it Microsoft servers, Cisco switches, corporate security, Macintosh, Linux, virtual servers, or other vital technologies, we deploy professionals who can help you to be successful on major jobs by combining the aggregate skills of our group of experts.

To promote the productivity of our consultants, we invest heavily in providing the best tools to do the work efficiently. We will exploit information technology to an extraordinary degree and our state-of-the-art virtual office environment enables seamless communications, collaboration, and knowledge sharing with other Progent team members — all from home-based or mobile offices. Consultants don't waste time or forfeit revenue because of daily drives to a physical office building, and any driving you do for in-person client work is based on your schedule, not Progent's. The best part is that much of our support services can be done remotely, offering maximum efficiency for billable time. In fact, some Progent team members do off-site consulting only.

Progent's business structure is geared towards reacting quickly and effectively to client requirements via information sharing and collaborative problem solving. Even though our engineers work with a great deal of independence, resource allocation is unified, client problems and solutions are carefully tracked, documented, and archived for convenient retrieval, up-to-date engineer schedules are broadcast to streamline group tasks and enable trouble escalation, and client approval is always monitored. We reinforce the sense of cooperation via monthly team meetings and regular corporate events.

Most of Progent's consultants are located across California, however we are building a quickly growing team of consulting professionals from across America. Our virtual office infrastructure does away with geographic obstacles that limit the productivity of conventional company models. We complete the package by providing a full employee care program to ensure the health and economic welfare of our employees and their relations.

Just as we have world-class consulting professionals, Progent's marketing and administration groups match the high standards that is Progent. These top-notch contributors to Progent's growth are enabling us to target and land the scores of new customers we are currently acquiring each month. We recently celebrated the providing of services to our 1,000th client. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why we are also a strong sales organization.

Possessing a commitment to technical excellence is a cornerstone for success with us. A job 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 consulting exciting. Customers rely on a consultant to do the “hard stuff.” Creative projects, advanced deployments, vexing or chronic issues, and difficult upgrades are the basis for what we do every day. At Progent, you will not stall or be narrowly defined, as is all too common for network professionals in traditional corporate jobs. You will wake up every day excited about the opportunities ahead.

On the way, you will work with some great folks, both by building strong client relationships and by working in conjunction with other Progent consultants, where you will benefit from and add to their success. Of course, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-focused organization through and through. If you don't offer excellent communications skills or like working with a diverse group 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 future of network consulting.
