Details Concerning Jobs at Progent

Fulltime Work for Network Engineers, Desktop Support Technicians,
Security Experts, and Remote Help Technicians
Progent is seeking to hire fulltime, results-driven Microsoft accredited engineers with Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer certification; Cisco accredited system engineers with Cisco CCIE credentials; security consultants who have CISA or equivalent security credentials; and high-end system architecture experts with a background in mobile solutions, wireless connectivity, service continuity, workplace recovery, information protection, and virtual servers. Progent also is hiring employees to join Progent's team of helpdesk service technicians and remote troubleshooting experts. Also, Progent is looking for experienced managers who can operate productively in our fast-paced, virtual office environment.

By supporting a team of skilled and dedicated professionals, delivering world-class client care, and offering a strong results-based fee model, Progent has managed to increase our customer list dramatically while delivering professional services to numerous companies in the San Francisco area and throughout the United States. An advanced virtual office network, a common knowledge base, and a group strategy for problem resolution have helped Progent to retain a talented consulting team and a satisfied customer list.

For a network consultant with technical support expertise, joining Progent or helping our clients can enhance your knowledge through interaction with our staff of mutually team-oriented, talented engineers. Our commitment to providing network expertise and computer help to small and midsize organizations will offer you the chance to collaborate closely with decision makers and contribute appreciably to the success of exciting businesses.

We are hiring technical professionals who have recognized certification in their special focus. So, if you are a Microsoft expert, you must have your Microsoft MCSE credential. For Cisco professionals, show us your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or CCNP credential. For security, you should have you CISSP, Certified Information Systems Auditor, CISM, or other leading security credentials. Of course, we are aware of “paper MCSEs.” Notwithstanding, the fact that a credential does not guarantee excellence is no justification for not having one. If you have mastered your stuff, then the majority of these certifications should present no challenge. The point is that if you represent yourself to be an expert, then clients expect certifications. We will broadcast your talents, but you should provide basic credentials for us to market. In case you happen to be strongly opposed to the concept of certifications, we can understand and respect your position, but you are likely not a good candidate.

Enhance Your Skills with Advanced Technology and
Joining the Top Team of Computer Engineers
Progent's company culture will make you a better professional by improving your information technology skills and boosting the satisfaction of your customers. Progent delivers on this commitment by attracting the top consulting experts for you to operate with, offering an advanced system infrastructure, using custom application tools to deliver the highest level of support, and by streamlining proven business structures for attracting and maintaining customers.

The main factor that distinguishes us from typical consulting companies is the excellence of our service staff. Among the 50 or so consultants who have joined Progent, we have recruited the best expertise across a wide array of technical areas. Be it Microsoft servers, Cisco firewalls, network security, Apple, Linux, server virtualization, or other vital application, we deploy professionals who can help you to be effective on larger jobs by leveraging the aggregate experience of our team of experts.

To promote the success of our consultants, we invest heavily in making available the best tools to perform the work efficiently. Progent will exploit information technology to an impressive extent and our state-of-the-art virtual office environment enables seamless connectivity, collaboration, and information sharing with fellow Progent consultants — all from home-based or mobile offices. You don't waste time or forfeit income with daily commutes to a conventional office building, and any travel you do for on-site client jobs is based on your time table, not ours. The most attractive part is that most of our support services can be performed remotely, representing maximum efficiency for income-producing hours. In fact, some of our staff do remote consulting exclusively.

Progent's business structure is set up for responding rapidly and effectively to client needs via information sharing and collaborative problem solving. Even though Progent's engineers operate with a high level of freedom, dispatching is unified, customer issues and resolutions are meticulously monitored, recorded, and organized for convenient reference, up-to-date consultant availability is published to streamline group projects and enable problem escalation, and customer satisfaction is always monitored. We strengthen the feeling of cooperation through monthly team meetings and quarterly corporate events.

The majority of our team is situated across California, however we are building a quickly expanding team of consulting professionals throughout the United States. Our virtual office infrastructure eliminates geographic obstacles that limit the efficiency of conventional company structures. We enhance the deal by providing a comprehensive employee care plan to ensure the health and economic welfare of our employees and their relations.

Not only do we have world-class consulting professionals, Progent's sales and operations groups match the high standards that is Progent. These high-performance contributors to our growth are helping us to identify and land the 50-60 new customers we are now engaging every month. We lately 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 marketing organization.

Having a passion for technical excellence is a key for success with Progent. A job in consulting will drive you to enhance your skills more than you would in any other position in network technology. Being exposed to a continual stream of technical challenges is what keeps professional support exciting. Clients rely on consulting firms to perform the toughest jobs. Creative projects, advanced deployments, puzzling or entrenched issues, and difficult upgrades are the basis for our services every day. At Progent, you will not stall or be narrowly defined, as is all too common for network engineers in traditional corporate roles. You will wake up every day excited about the opportunities ahead.

Along the way, you will work with some wonderful folks, both by building close client contacts and by working closely with other Progent team members, where you will learn from and contribute to their success. Of course, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-oriented organization from top to bottom. If you don't have strong communications skills or like working with a varied group of personalities, then Progent is in all likelihood not a good match.

If this sounds good to you, we urge you to contact Progent about our vision of the future of network consulting.
