Career Jobs for Network Consultants, Desktop Service Specialists,
Security Consultants, and Remote Support Professionals
Progent wants to find fulltime, solutions-oriented Microsoft certified engineers with Microsoft MCSE or MCSA certification; Cisco accredited system engineers who have Cisco certification; security professionals who have CISM or comparable security credentials; and high-end system architecture consultants with a background in mobile solutions, wireless networking, service continuity, business continuity, information preservation, and server virtualization. Progent also is looking for employees who can join Progent's staff of desktop support technicians and remote troubleshooting professionals. Also, Progent is hiring talented administrators able to perform effectively in Progent's fast-paced, virtual office culture.

By maintaining a staff of talented and motivated professionals, delivering world-class client services, and following a competitive results-based pricing structure, Progent has been able to increase our client base rapidly while delivering professional support to numerous companies in the San Francisco area and throughout the U.S. A sophisticated virtual office environment, a shared knowledge database, and a group strategy for problem solving have helped Progent to maintain a skilled staff and a loyal customer base.

For a network professional with technical support experience, teaming with Progent or working for Progent's clients can enhance your skills via interaction with Progent's staff of mutually team-oriented, expert consultants. Our focus on providing information technology expertise and technical support to small companies will give you the chance to work closely with key players and add appreciably to the success of dynamic businesses.

Progent is hiring technical professionals who have recognized certification related to their technical expertise. For example, if you are a Microsoft expert, you should have earned your Microsoft MCSE certificate. For Cisco consultants, show us your CCIE or CCNP certificate. For security, you should show you CISSP, CISA, CISM, or one of the other leading security certifications. Naturally, we are aware of “paper MCSEs.” Notwithstanding, simply because a credential does not ensure excellence is no excuse for not owning one. If you have mastered your field, then most of these certifications should be no great difficulty. The bottom line is that if you represent yourself to be a professional, then customers deserve to see certifications. Progent will broadcast your talents, but you need to have a baseline of certifications for Progent to work with. If you happen to be adamantly against the idea of certifications, Progent can sympathize with and honor your opinion, but you are probably not an appropriate fit.

Progent delivers on this promise by attracting the best consulting experts for you to work with, offering a state-of-the-art network and communications architecture, using proprietary software tools to deliver the maximum level of support, and by optimizing proven operational models for finding and keeping customers.

The main factor that separates Progent from most consulting companies is the high quality of our service staff. Among the 50 or so consulting experts who have teamed with Progent, we have assembled the best expertise covering a wide range of technical areas. Be it Microsoft Windows, Cisco switches, network security, Apple, Linux, server virtualization, or other crucial technologies, we engage professionals who can help you to be successful on major jobs by combining the aggregate experience of Progent's team of professionals.

To ensure the success of Progent's team, we invest heavily in providing the most powerful technology to perform the job properly. Progent will exploit information technology to an extraordinary degree and our state-of-the-art virtual office environment allows seamless communications, cooperation, and knowledge exchange with fellow Progent consultants — all from at-home or mobile offices. You don't waste time or forfeit revenue because of daily drives to a physical office, and all travel you do for in-person client work is based on your schedule, not ours. The best part is that much of our support services can be performed off-site, representing 100% productivity for income-producing time. In fact, some of our team members do off-site support only.

Our operations are geared towards reacting rapidly and efficiently to customer needs through information sharing and cooperative problem solving. Although Progent's consultants operate with a great deal of independence, dispatching is unified, client issues and solutions are meticulously tracked, recorded, and organized for easy reference, up-to-date consultant availability is published to facilitate group tasks and simplify trouble escalation, and customer satisfaction is continually evaluated. We strengthen the sense of connection via periodic workgroup meetings and quarterly corporate events.

The majority of Progent's consultants are located across California, however we are building a quickly expanding team of consulting experts throughout the U.S. Our virtual office environment does away with regional boundaries that limit the efficiency of conventional business models. We complete the deal by providing a comprehensive employee care program to ensure the physical health and financial welfare of our employees and their relations.

Just as we have awesome consultants, our marketing and operations groups match the high standards that defines Progent. These high-performance factors behind our growth are enabling us to identify and land the 50-60 new customers we are currently engaging every month. We recently celebrated the delivery of support to our 1,000th client. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why Progent is also a strong sales organization.

Possessing a commitment to technical excellence is a cornerstone for growth with Progent. A job in consulting will push you to learn more than is possible in any other position in network technology. Being exposed to a continual series of technical challenges is what makes professional support interesting. Customers rely on consultants to do the toughest jobs. Creative tasks, leading-edge deployments, puzzling or entrenched problems, and difficult upgrades are the foundation for what we do every day. At Progent, you will not stall or be pigeonholed, as is sadly common for computer professionals in traditional corporate roles. You will awake every morning excited about the opportunities to come.

On the way, you will meet some wonderful people, both by building close client contacts and by operating in conjunction with other Progent consultants, where you will learn from and contribute to their growth. Of course, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-oriented organization through and through. If you do not have strong communications skills or like working with a diverse assortment of personalities, then Progent is probably a poor fit.

If all this seems right for you, we invite you to contact us about our vision of the future of information technology consulting.
