Career Work for Network Consultants, Desktop Support Specialists,
Security Consultants, and Online Support Technicians
Progent wants to hire full-time, solutions-oriented Microsoft accredited consultants with Microsoft MCSE credentials; Cisco certified network consultants who have Cisco CCIE credentials; security consultants who have CISM or comparable security credentials; and high-end system architecture experts with a background in mobile access, wireless networking, fault tolerance, disaster recovery, information protection, and virtual servers. Progent also seeks professionals who can work on our staff of help desk support specialists and off-site troubleshooting professionals. In addition, Progent is seeking experienced administrators able to perform productively in our high-growth, virtual office culture.

By maintaining a team of talented and dedicated professionals, providing world-class customer services, and offering a strong results-focused fee model, We have managed to expand our client list rapidly while delivering consulting services to hundreds of companies in the San Francisco area and across the United States.

For an information technology consultant with troubleshooting experience, teaming with Progent or helping Progent's customers will enhance your skills via interaction with Progent's group of highly team-oriented, talented engineers. Our focus on providing information technology expertise and technical support to small and midsize organizations will offer you the chance to work intimately with decision makers and contribute significantly to the success of dynamic businesses.

We are hiring technical professionals that can show recognized certification related to their technical focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you should have earned your MCSE credential. For Cisco professionals, have your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or Cisco Certified Network Professional credential. For security, you should have you CISSP, Certified Information Systems Auditor, CISM, or other leading security credentials. Of course, Progent is familiar with “paper MCSEs.” Notwithstanding, simply because a credential does not ensure expertise is no justification for not having one. If you know your field, then most of those tests should present no challenge. The point is that if you call yourself a professional, then clients expect credentials. Progent will promote your talents, but you should provide a baseline of credentials for us to market. In case you happen to be adamantly opposed to the idea of credentials, Progent can sympathize with and respect your position, but you are probably not an appropriate fit.

Enhance Your Skills with the Best Technology and
Joining a Great Team of Computer Consultants
Progent's productive atmosphere will make you a better consulting professional by enhancing your information technology knowledge and boosting the satisfaction of your customers. Progent makes good on this commitment by recruiting the best consulting experts for you to operate with, offering an advanced network and communications architecture, running proprietary software utilities to enable the highest quality of support, and by optimizing proven operational models for attracting and retaining clients.

The main factor that differentiates us from other consulting firms is the high quality of our consulting team. Out of the scores of consultants who have joined us, we have recruited top talent across a broad array of technologies. Be it Microsoft servers, Cisco firewalls, network security, Mac, Linux, virtual servers, or other vital technologies, we deploy experts who can enable you to be successful on major projects by leveraging the collective skills of our team of professionals.

To promote the success of Progent's team, we invest heavily in providing the best technology to do the job efficiently. Progent will exploit information technology to an impressive extent and our state-of-the-art virtual office environment allows seamless connectivity, collaboration, and knowledge sharing with fellow Progent consultants — entirely from home-based or on-the-road offices. Consultants don't waste time or forfeit income because of daily drives to a physical office building, and all driving you do for on-site customer work is based on your own schedule, not ours. The most attractive benefit is that much of our consulting work can be performed off-site, representing maximum productivity for billable time. In fact, some of our team members do off-site support only.

Our business structure is geared towards responding quickly and effectively to client needs via information exchange and collaborative problem resolution. Although Progent's engineers work with a great deal of independence, dispatching is centralized, customer issues and solutions are carefully monitored, documented, and archived for convenient reference, up-to-date consultant availability is published to streamline team projects and simplify problem escalation, and client satisfaction is continually monitored. We reinforce the sense of connection via monthly team meetings and regular company-wide events.

The majority of our team is situated throughout California, but we are attracting a rapidly expanding group of consulting professionals from across America. Progent's virtual office infrastructure does away with regional boundaries that limit the efficiency of conventional business models. We enhance the deal by offering a comprehensive employee care program to ensure the health and financial welfare 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 is Progent. These high-performance factors behind our growth are helping us to identify and sign up the 50-60 new clients we are now engaging each month. Progent recently celebrated the delivery of services to our 1,000th customer. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why Progent is also a strong sales organization.

Having a commitment to technical proficiency is a cornerstone for growth with us. A job in consulting will drive you to learn more than you would in any other job in information technology. Being exposed to a continual stream of technical challenges is what makes professional support interesting. Customers choose consulting firms to perform the “hard stuff.” Innovative projects, leading-edge deployments, vexing or entrenched issues, and tricky migrations are the foundation for our services daily. At Progent, you will not stagnate or be pigeonholed, as is sadly common for network professionals in ordinary corporate roles. You will awake every day enthusiastic about the opportunities ahead.

Along the way, you will work with some great folks, both by building strong customer relationships and by working closely with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and add to their success. Of course, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-oriented organization from top to bottom. If you do not have strong people skills or like cooperating with a diverse group of people, then we are in all likelihood not a good match.

If this sounds right for you, we urge you to talk to us about our vision of the new paradigm of network consulting.
