Details About Opportunities at Progent

Fulltime Work for Network Engineers, Computer Service Specialists,
Security Consultants, and Online Help Technicians
Progent wants to hire fulltime, solutions-oriented Microsoft accredited engineers with Microsoft MCSE credentials; Cisco accredited network consultants with Cisco certification; security consultants with CISA or equivalent security credentials; and high-end system design experts with a background in mobile access, wireless networking, high uptime, business continuity, information preservation, and VMware.

In addition, We are hiring experienced managers able to perform effectively in Progent's high-growth, virtual office culture.

By supporting a team of skilled and dedicated professionals, delivering attentive customer care, and following a competitive value-based fee model, We have managed to expand our customer base rapidly while providing consulting services to numerous businesses in the San Francisco area and throughout the U.S. An advanced virtual office environment, a common information database, and a team strategy for problem resolution have helped Progent to retain a talented consulting team and a satisfied client base.

Our focus on providing network expertise and computer help to small and midsize companies will offer you the opportunity to collaborate intimately with decision makers and add significantly to the success of exciting businesses.

Progent is hiring consultants who have verifiable certification in their special expertise. So, if you are a Microsoft expert, you should have your Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer credential. For Cisco professionals, show us your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or Cisco Certified Network Professional credential. For security, you should have earned you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, CISA, CISM, or other top security credentials. Naturally, we are aware of “paper MCSEs.” Nevertheless, the fact that a certificate does not ensure excellence is no excuse for not having one. If you know your field, then the majority of those certifications should be no great difficulty. The bottom line is that if you represent yourself to be a professional, then customers expect certifications. We will market your talents, but you should provide basic certifications for Progent to market. In case you stand strongly opposed to the idea of certifications, Progent can understand and honor your position, but you are likely not a good candidate.

Working with a Great Group of Network Consultants
Progent's productive atmosphere will allow you to become a more capable consulting professional by enhancing your technical knowledge and boosting the loyalty of your clients. Progent makes good on this promise by attracting the top consulting talent for you to work with, offering a state-of-the-art system infrastructure, running custom software utilities to enable the maximum level of service, and by optimizing our operational models for finding and maintaining customers.

The decisive factor that differentiates Progent from typical network support companies is the excellence of our consultants. Out of the 50 or so consultants who have teamed with Progent, we have assembled the best talent across a broad range of technical areas. Whether it's Microsoft servers, Cisco firewalls, corporate security, Apple, Linux, VMware, or other key application, we deploy experts who can enable you to be successful on larger jobs by leveraging the collective experience of our group of professionals.

To promote the success of our team, we invest heavily in providing the best technology to do the work properly. We will exploit technology to an extraordinary extent and our state-of-the-art virtual office environment allows effortless connectivity, collaboration, and information sharing with other Progent team members — all from at-home or mobile offices. You don't waste time or forfeit revenue because of daily drives to a physical office building, and all travel you do for on-site client work is based on your time table, not Progent's. The most attractive benefit is that most of our support work can be performed off-site, representing maximum efficiency for income-producing time. In fact, some of our staff do remote consulting only.

Our business structure is geared towards reacting quickly and effectively to customer needs via information sharing and cooperative problem solving. Even though our consultants work with a high level of independence, dispatching is centralized, customer problems and solutions are carefully monitored, recorded, and archived for easy retrieval, current consultant availability is published to streamline team projects and simplify trouble escalation, and client approval is continually evaluated. We strengthen the sense of cooperation via monthly team conferences and quarterly company-wide events.

The majority of Progent's consultants are situated throughout California, however Progent is attracting a rapidly expanding team of consulting professionals throughout the U.S. Progent's virtual office environment does away with regional boundaries that restrict the productivity of conventional business structures. We enhance the deal by providing a full benefit program to promote the health and economic security of our team members and their relations.

Not only do we have awesome consulting professionals, Progent's marketing and operations groups live up to the high standards that defines Progent. These top-notch factors behind our success are enabling us to identify and sign up the scores of new customers we are now engaging every month. Progent recently celebrated the delivery of services to our 1,000th client. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why Progent is also an effective sales operation.

Possessing a passion for technical excellence is a key for growth with Progent. A job in consulting will push you to enhance your skills more than you would in any other job in network technology. Being confronted by a continual stream of network challenges is what makes professional support exciting. Customers choose a consultant to do the “hard stuff.” Innovative projects, advanced implementations, puzzling or chronic problems, and tricky upgrades are the foundation for what we do daily. At Progent, you will not stagnate or be pigeonholed, as is all too common for network professionals in traditional corporate roles. You will wake up every day excited about the challenges to come.

Along the way, you will meet some great people, both by building strong customer relationships and by working closely with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and contribute to their growth. Yes, technology is vital, but we are a relationship-focused organization heart and soul. If you don't have strong people skills or enjoy cooperating with a varied assortment of personalities, then Progent is probably not a good match.

If this sounds good to you, we invite you to talk to us about our view of the future of network consulting.
