Details Concerning Opportunities with Us

Progent wants to hire full-time, solutions-driven Microsoft accredited consultants with Microsoft MCSE, MCSA, or MCP credentials; Cisco accredited system consultants who have Cisco CCIE, CCNP, or CCNA certification; security consultants with CISSP, CISM, or CISA or equivalent security certification; and high-end system architecture consultants with a background in mobile solutions, wireless networking, high availability, disaster recovery, data protection, and virtual servers.

For a network consultant with technical support expertise, teaming with Progent or working for Progent's customers can enhance your knowledge via interaction with Progent's group of mutually supportive, talented consultants. Progent's focus on delivering information technology consulting and technical help to small and midsize companies will offer you the chance to collaborate intimately with decision makers and contribute significantly to the growth of dynamic companies.

We are looking for consultants that have recognized certification related to their special focus. So, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you must have your Microsoft MCSE certificate. In the case of Cisco professionals, show us your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or Cisco Certified Network Professional credential. 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 MCSEs.” Still, the fact that a certificate does not guarantee expertise is no reason for not owning one. If you know your field, then the majority of those certifications should pose no great difficulty. The point is that if you call yourself a professional, then clients expect certifications. We will promote your skills, but you should provide basic certifications for Progent to work with. In case you happen to be strongly against the concept of certifications, Progent can understand and honor your position, but you are probably not a good candidate.

Working with the Top Team of Computer Engineers
Progent's work environment will make you a more capable professional by enhancing your technical skills and boosting the satisfaction of your customers. Progent makes good on this promise by recruiting the top professional talent for you to operate with, providing an advanced network and communications infrastructure, running specialized application tools to deliver the highest quality of support, and by streamlining our operational models for attracting and maintaining customers.

The most important factor that differentiates us from typical consulting firms 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. Be it Microsoft servers, Cisco switches, corporate security, Apple, Linux, server virtualization, or other crucial technologies, we engage professionals who can help you to be successful on larger jobs by leveraging the aggregate experience of our group of experts.

To ensure the success of Progent's consultants, we invest heavily in providing the most powerful technology to do the work efficiently. We will exploit technology to an impressive extent and our advanced virtual office environment enables effortless connectivity, collaboration, and knowledge sharing with fellow Progent team members — entirely from at-home or mobile offices. Consultants don't throw away time or forfeit revenue with daily drives to a conventional office, and any travel you do for in-person customer work is determined by your time table, not Progent's. The most attractive part is that much of our support work can be done off-site, representing 100% productivity for billable hours. In fact, some Progent staff do off-site consulting only.

Progent's operations are geared towards responding rapidly and efficiently to client requirements via knowledge exchange and collaborative problem resolution. Even though Progent's consultants operate with a great deal of freedom, resource allocation is centralized, customer issues and solutions are carefully monitored, documented, and archived for easy retrieval, current consultant schedules are published to streamline group tasks and simplify trouble escalation, and client satisfaction is continually evaluated. We reinforce the sense of connection through periodic workgroup meetings and regular corporate events.

Most of Progent's consultants are situated throughout California, but we are attracting a rapidly expanding team of network professionals from across America. Our virtual office infrastructure eliminates regional boundaries that limit the productivity of conventional company structures. We complete the deal by providing a comprehensive benefit program to ensure the health and economic security of our employees and their families.

Just as we have world-class consultants, Progent's sales and operations teams match the excellence that characterizes Progent. These top-notch contributors to our success are enabling us to target and sign up the 50-60 new clients we are now engaging every month. We lately celebrated the providing of services to our 1,000th customer. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why we are also a strong marketing operation.

Possessing a passion for technical excellence is a cornerstone for growth with Progent. A career in consulting will drive you to enhance your skills more than you would in any other position in information technology. Being exposed to a continual series of network challenges is what makes professional support interesting. Clients rely on consulting firms to perform the “hard stuff.” Innovative projects, advanced deployments, vexing or entrenched problems, and tricky migrations are the foundation for what we do every day. At Progent, you will not stall or be narrowly defined, as is all too common for computer professionals in ordinary corporate roles. You will wake up every morning excited about the challenges to come.

Along the way, you will work with some wonderful folks, both by building strong client relationships and by operating closely with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and add to their success. Yes, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-oriented company from top to bottom. If you don't have excellent communications skills or like cooperating with a diverse assortment of personalities, then we are in all likelihood not a good fit.

If this seems right for you, we urge you to talk to Progent about our vision of the future of information technology consulting.
