Additional Facts Concerning Opportunities with Us

Fulltime Work for Network Engineers, Desktop Support Technicians,
Security Experts, and Remote Support Professionals
Progent wants to hire staff-level, solutions-driven Microsoft accredited engineers with Microsoft MCSE, MCSA, or MCP certification; Cisco accredited system consultants who have Cisco credentials; security consultants with CISSP or equivalent security credentials; and high-end network architecture consultants with a background in mobile solutions, wireless connectivity, fault tolerance, workplace recovery, information preservation, and server virtualization. Progent also is looking for professionals to work on Progent's team of desktop support specialists and remote support professionals. Also, We are seeking experienced managers able to perform productively in Progent's high-growth, virtual office environment.

By supporting a staff of talented and motivated professionals, delivering attentive customer services, and following a strong results-focused fee model, Progent has been able to expand our client list dramatically while providing consulting services to numerous companies in the San Francisco area and throughout the U.S. A sophisticated virtual office environment, a common information database, and a team approach to problem resolution have helped Progent to retain a talented consulting team and a loyal customer base.

If you are an information technology professional with troubleshooting expertise, teaming with Progent or working for our clients can expand your skills through interaction with Progent's staff of mutually team-oriented, expert consultants. Progent's commitment to providing network expertise and technical help to small organizations will give you the opportunity to collaborate closely with decision makers and add significantly to the success of exciting companies.

Progent is hiring technical professionals that can show verifiable certification in their technical focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft expert, you should have earned your MCSE certificate. For Cisco consultants, have your CCIE or Cisco Certified Network Professional credential. For security, you should show you CISSP, CISA, Certified Information Security Manager, or other leading security certifications. Naturally, Progent is aware of "paper experts". Still, simply because a credential does not ensure expertise is no reason for not earning one. If you know your stuff, then most of those tests should pose no great difficulty. The bottom line is that if you call yourself an expert, then clients expect certifications. Progent will market your skills, but you should have a baseline of credentials for us to market. If you stand strongly opposed to the idea of credentials, we can understand and respect your position, but you are probably not a good candidate.

Enhance Your Abilities with the Best Technology and
Joining a Great Group of Computer Engineers
Progent's business climate will make you a better consulting professional by improving your information technology knowledge and increasing the satisfaction of your customers. Progent delivers on this commitment by attracting the top consulting talent for you to operate with, offering a state-of-the-art system architecture, using specialized application utilities to deliver the maximum level of service, and by streamlining our business structures for finding and maintaining customers.

The main factor that distinguishes us from typical consulting companies is the excellence of our consulting team. Out of the 50 or so consultants who have joined Progent, we have assembled the best talent across a wide range of technical areas. Be it Microsoft Windows, Cisco switches, network security, Mac, Linux/UNIX, server virtualization, or other key technologies, we engage professionals who can help you to be successful on larger jobs by leveraging the collective skills of Progent's team of experts.

To ensure the success of Progent's consultants, we invest significantly in providing the most powerful technology to do the job properly. We will leverage technology to an extraordinary degree and our advanced virtual office infrastructure allows seamless connectivity, collaboration, and information sharing with other Progent team members — all from home-based or mobile offices. Consultants don't waste time or lose revenue because of daily commutes to a conventional office, and any driving you do for on-site client work is based on your time table, not Progent's. The most attractive part is that most of our support work can be done off-site, offering maximum efficiency for income-producing hours. In fact, some Progent staff do off-site support exclusively.

Progent's business structure is set up for reacting quickly and effectively to client requirements via information exchange and collaborative problem resolution. Although our engineers work with a high level of freedom, dispatching is centralized, customer issues and resolutions are carefully monitored, documented, and organized for convenient retrieval, current engineer availability is published to streamline team tasks and simplify trouble escalation, and customer approval is continually evaluated. We strengthen the sense of connection via periodic workgroup meetings and quarterly company-wide events.

Most of our team is located across California, however Progent is attracting a quickly expanding group of consulting experts throughout the United States. Progent's virtual office infrastructure does away with geographic boundaries that restrict the efficiency of traditional business structures. We complete the package by offering a comprehensive benefit plan to promote the health and economic security of our employees and their relations.

Not only do we have world-class consulting professionals, Progent's sales and administration groups live up to the high standards that is Progent. These top-notch factors behind our success are helping us to target and sign up the 50-60 new clients we are now engaging each month. We lately celebrated the delivery of support to our 1,000th client. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why Progent is also an effective marketing operation.

Having a passion for technical proficiency is a key for success with us. A job in consulting will push you to enhance your skills more than you would in any other job in information technology. Being exposed to a continual series of network challenges is what keeps professional support exciting. Clients rely on a consultant to do the toughest jobs. Innovative projects, advanced implementations, puzzling or entrenched problems, and tricky upgrades are the basis for what we do every day. With us, you will not stall or be narrowly defined, as is sadly typical for computer professionals in traditional corporate jobs. You will wake up every day excited about the challenges to come.

On the way, you will work with some wonderful folks, both by establishing close customer contacts and by working closely with other Progent consultants, where you will learn from and add to their success. Yes, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-oriented organization heart and soul. If you don't offer strong people skills or like working with a diverse assortment of people, then we are probably a poor fit.

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