Additional Facts Concerning Opportunities with Us

Staff Jobs for Network Engineers, Computer Service Specialists,
Security Experts, and Remote Support Professionals
Progent is seeking to find staff-level, results-driven Microsoft certified engineers with Microsoft MCSE, MCSA, or MCP certification; Cisco accredited system engineers who have CCIE credentials; security professionals who have CISA or comparable security credentials; and advanced network architecture consultants with a background in mobile access, wireless networking, fault tolerance, disaster recovery, data protection, and server virtualization. Progent also is hiring professionals who can work on our staff of helpdesk service technicians and off-site support experts. In addition, Progent is seeking talented administrators who can operate productively in our fast-paced, virtual office environment.

By supporting a team of skilled and dedicated consultants, delivering attentive customer services, and following a strong value-based pricing structure, Progent has been able to expand our customer list dramatically while providing consulting services to numerous businesses in the San Francisco area and across the U.S. An advanced virtual office network, a shared knowledge base, and a team strategy for problem resolution have helped Progent to retain a skilled consulting team and a satisfied client list.

If you are a network consultant with technical support expertise, joining Progent or working for our clients will enhance your skills via cooperation with Progent's staff of mutually team-oriented, expert consultants. Our commitment to delivering network consulting and computer help to small and midsize organizations will give you the opportunity to work closely with key players and contribute significantly to the growth of dynamic companies.

Progent is looking for consultants who have verifiable certification in their technical focus. So, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you should have your MCSE certificate. In the case of Cisco professionals, have your CCIE or CCNP certificate. For security, you should have you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, CISA, CISM, or other leading security credentials. Naturally, we are aware of “paper MCSEs.” Still, simply because a credential does not guarantee excellence is no justification for not earning one. If you know your field, then most of these tests should be no challenge. The crux of the matter is that if you represent yourself to be a professional, then clients expect credentials. We can promote your talents, but you need to have a baseline of certifications for Progent to market. If you happen to be strongly against the idea of certifications, Progent can sympathize with and respect your position, but you are likely not a good candidate.

Progent will leverage technology to an extraordinary degree and our state-of-the-art virtual office environment allows effortless connectivity, collaboration, and information sharing with fellow Progent team members — all from home-based or mobile offices. Consultants don't throw away time or forfeit revenue with daily commutes to a conventional office building, and any travel you do for in-person customer work is determined by your time table, not Progent's. The best part is that much of our consulting work can be performed off-site, offering 100% productivity for billable time. In practice, some of our staff do off-site support exclusively.

Progent's business structure is geared towards responding quickly and effectively to customer requirements via information sharing and cooperative problem resolution. Even though Progent's engineers operate with a great deal of freedom, dispatching is centralized, client issues and solutions are carefully monitored, recorded, and organized for easy retrieval, up-to-date consultant schedules are broadcast to facilitate team tasks and enable trouble escalation, and client satisfaction is continually monitored. We strengthen the sense of cooperation through monthly workgroup conferences and regular company-wide events.

Most of Progent's consultants are located across California, however we are building a rapidly expanding team of consulting professionals throughout the United States. Progent's virtual office environment eliminates geographic boundaries that restrict the efficiency of conventional company structures. We complete the deal by offering a full benefit plan to ensure the physical health and economic security of our team members and their families.

Just as we have world-class consulting professionals, our marketing and administration groups match the high standards that characterizes Progent. These top-notch factors behind Progent's success are enabling us to identify and sign up the scores of new clients we are now engaging every month. We lately celebrated the providing of services to our 1,000th client. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why Progent is also a strong sales operation.

Having a commitment to technical excellence is a key for success with us. A job in consulting will push you to learn more than is possible in any other job in information technology. Being confronted by a steady series of network challenges is what makes consulting interesting. Customers choose consulting firms to do the toughest jobs. Innovative tasks, advanced deployments, vexing or entrenched issues, and difficult migrations are the basis for what we do every day. With us, you will not stall or be pigeonholed, as is all too typical for computer professionals in ordinary corporate jobs. You will wake up every day enthusiastic about the challenges ahead.

On the way, you will meet some great people, both by establishing strong customer contacts and by operating closely with other Progent team members, where you will learn from and contribute to their growth. Of course, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-oriented organization heart and soul. If you don't have strong communications skills or enjoy cooperating with a varied group of personalities, then we are probably a poor fit.

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