Progent's focus on delivering information technology expertise and computer help to small and midsize companies will offer you the opportunity to collaborate closely with decision makers and contribute appreciably to the growth of dynamic businesses.

Progent is hiring consultants that can show verifiable certification in their technical focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft expert, you must have earned your MCSE certificate. For Cisco professionals, show us your CCIE or CCNP certificate. For network security, you should show you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, Certified Information Systems Auditor, CISM, or other leading security certifications. Naturally, we are aware of "paper experts". Nevertheless, the fact that a credential does not ensure expertise is no justification for not earning one. If you have mastered your field, then most of these certifications should be no challenge. The bottom line is that if you call yourself an expert, then customers deserve to see certifications. Progent can promote your skills, but you should have basic certifications for Progent to work with. In case you stand adamantly opposed to the idea of certifications, we can understand and respect your opinion, but you are likely not an appropriate fit.

Enhance Your Skills with Advanced Technology and
Joining a Great Team of Computer Engineers
Progent's work environment will allow you to become a better consulting professional by enhancing your information technology knowledge and boosting the satisfaction of your clients. Progent delivers on this promise by attracting the top consulting talent for you to operate with, offering a state-of-the-art network and communications infrastructure, running proprietary application utilities to deliver the highest level of service, and by streamlining proven operational models for finding and retaining customers.

The most important factor that separates us from ordinary consulting companies is the high quality of our consultants. Among the 50 or so consulting experts who have teamed with us, we have assembled the best talent across a broad range of technical areas. Be it Microsoft Windows, Cisco switches, network security, Apple, Linux, VMware, or other vital areas, we deploy professionals who can enable you to be successful on larger projects by leveraging the collective experience of Progent's team of experts.

To promote the productivity of Progent's consultants, we invest significantly in making available the best tools to do the work efficiently. Progent will leverage information technology to an extraordinary extent and our state-of-the-art virtual office infrastructure allows effortless communications, collaboration, and knowledge sharing with other Progent consultants — all from at-home or mobile offices. Consultants don't waste time or forfeit revenue because of daily drives to a conventional office, and all driving you do for on-site customer work is based on your own schedule, not Progent's. The most attractive benefit is that much of Progent's consulting work can be done off-site, representing maximum productivity for billable time. In practice, some of our staff do remote consulting exclusively.

Our operations are set up for reacting quickly and effectively to customer needs through information sharing and collaborative problem solving. Even though our engineers work with a great deal of independence, resource allocation is centralized, customer problems and solutions are meticulously tracked, documented, and archived for convenient reference, current consultant schedules are broadcast to facilitate team projects and simplify trouble escalation, and client satisfaction is always monitored. We strengthen the sense of cooperation through monthly workgroup meetings and regular company-wide events.

Most of Progent's team is situated across California, however Progent is building a rapidly expanding group of consulting professionals from across America. Progent's virtual office environment does away with geographic boundaries that limit the efficiency of conventional company models. We enhance the deal by providing a comprehensive employee care plan to promote the physical health and financial welfare of our team members and their families.

These top-notch contributors to our success are enabling us to identify and land the 50-60 new clients we are now acquiring every month. Progent recently celebrated the providing of services to our 1,000th customer. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why we are also an effective sales operation.

Possessing a commitment to technical proficiency is a cornerstone for success with Progent. A job in consulting will push you to learn more than you would in any other position in information technology. Being exposed to a continual stream of technical challenges is what makes professional support interesting. Clients choose consultants to do the “hard stuff.” Innovative tasks, leading-edge deployments, puzzling or chronic issues, and difficult upgrades are the basis for what we do every day. At Progent, you will not stagnate or be narrowly defined, as is all too common for computer engineers in traditional corporate jobs. You will awake every day enthusiastic about the challenges ahead.

On the way, you will work with some wonderful people, both by building close client relationships and by operating closely with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and add to their success. Yes, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-oriented company from top to bottom. If you do not have strong people skills or like working with a diverse assortment of people, then Progent is in all likelihood a poor fit.

If this seems right for you, we invite you to contact us about our view of the new paradigm of network consulting.
