Fulltime Work for Network Engineers, Desktop Service Specialists,
Security Experts, and Online Help Technicians
Progent is seeking to find staff-level, results-driven Microsoft accredited engineers with Microsoft MCSE or MCSA certification; Cisco accredited network consultants with Cisco certification; security consultants who have CISM or equivalent security credentials; and advanced system design consultants with experience in mobile solutions, wireless connectivity, fault tolerance, business continuity, information protection, and virtual servers.

For a network consultant with technical support expertise, joining Progent or helping our customers can expand your skills through cooperation with our staff of highly team-oriented, talented consultants. Progent's commitment to providing network consulting and computer help to small and midsize organizations will offer you the opportunity to collaborate closely with key players and add appreciably to the success of dynamic businesses.

Progent is looking for consultants that have recognized certification in their special focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft expert, you must have earned your Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer credential. In the case of Cisco professionals, have your CCIE or Cisco Certified Network Professional credential. For network security, you should have you CISSP, Certified Information Systems Auditor, Certified Information Security Manager, or other leading security credentials. Naturally, Progent is aware of "paper experts". Nevertheless, simply because a credential does not ensure excellence is no reason 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 a professional, then clients expect credentials. Progent will broadcast your talents, but you must have standard credentials for us to market. If you are strongly against the concept of certifications, we can understand and honor your position, but you are likely not a good fit.

Enhance Your Abilities with Advanced Technology and
Working with a Great Team of Network Engineers
Progent's work environment will allow you to become a more capable professional by improving your information technology knowledge and boosting the loyalty of your customers. Progent delivers on this promise by recruiting the best professional experts for you to operate with, providing an advanced network and communications architecture, running specialized application utilities to enable the highest level of support, and by optimizing our business structures for finding and maintaining customers.

The most important factor that separates Progent from other network support firms is the high quality of our service staff. Among the 50 or so consulting experts who have teamed with Progent, we have recruited top talent covering a wide range of technical areas. Whether it's Microsoft servers, Cisco firewalls, corporate security, Apple, Linux/UNIX, server virtualization, or other crucial technologies, we engage experts who can enable you to be effective on major jobs by leveraging the collective experience of our group of professionals.

To ensure the success of our team, we invest heavily in making available the best tools to do the job properly. We will leverage information technology to an extraordinary extent and our advanced virtual office environment enables seamless communications, cooperation, and information sharing with other Progent team members — entirely from home-based or mobile offices. You don't throw away time or forfeit revenue because of regular commutes to a conventional office building, and any driving you do for in-person client jobs is based on your own schedule, not Progent's. The best part is that much of Progent's support work can be done remotely, representing 100% efficiency for billable hours. In practice, some of our staff do remote consulting only.

Progent's business structure is set up for responding quickly and efficiently to client needs through knowledge exchange and collaborative problem resolution. Even though Progent's engineers operate with a high level of freedom, dispatching is unified, client issues and resolutions are meticulously tracked, recorded, and archived for easy retrieval, up-to-date consultant availability is broadcast to facilitate team tasks and simplify problem escalation, and customer satisfaction is continually evaluated. We strengthen the sense of cooperation via monthly team conferences and regular corporate events.

Most of Progent's team is situated across California, but we are attracting a quickly expanding group of consulting professionals from across America. Our virtual office environment eliminates regional obstacles that limit the efficiency of traditional company structures. We complete the package by providing a full employee care plan to ensure the health and financial security of our team members and their families.

Just as we have awesome consultants, Progent's sales and operations teams match the high standards that is Progent. These top-notch contributors to Progent's growth are helping us to identify and sign up the scores of new customers we are now acquiring each month. Progent lately celebrated the delivery of support to our 1,000th client. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why we are also a strong marketing organization.

Possessing a passion for technical excellence is a key for growth with Progent. A job in consulting will drive you to learn more than you would in any other job in information technology. Being exposed to a steady series of technical challenges is what keeps consulting exciting. Clients rely on consultants to perform the “hard stuff.” Creative tasks, leading-edge implementations, vexing or entrenched issues, and tricky upgrades are the basis for our services daily. With us, you will not stall or be pigeonholed, as is sadly typical for computer professionals in traditional corporate jobs. You will wake up every morning enthusiastic about the opportunities ahead.

Along the way, you will meet some wonderful folks, both by establishing strong client relationships and by operating closely with other Progent consultants, where you will benefit from and add to their success. Yes, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-focused company through and through. If you do not have excellent communications skills or enjoy cooperating with a varied assortment of personalities, then Progent is probably a poor fit.

If all this sounds good to you, we invite you to talk to Progent about our view of the future of information technology consulting.
