Progent also is hiring employees to work on Progent's team of desktop service specialists and off-site support professionals.

By supporting a staff of talented and dedicated consultants, delivering world-class customer services, and following a strong results-focused fee model, We have been able to increase our client list dramatically while providing professional services to numerous businesses in the San Francisco area and across the U.S. An advanced virtual office network, a common information database, and a team approach to problem resolution have helped Progent to retain a talented consulting team and a loyal client list.

For an information technology consultant with troubleshooting experience, teaming with Progent or working for Progent's customers will enhance your skills via interaction with Progent's group of highly team-oriented, talented engineers. Our focus on delivering information technology consulting and technical help to small organizations will offer you the chance to work intimately with key players and add significantly to the success of exciting businesses.

Progent is looking for technical professionals who can show recognized certification in their special expertise. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you should have earned your Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer credential. For Cisco consultants, show us your CCIE or CCNP credential. For security, you should have earned you CISSP, Certified Information Systems Auditor, Certified Information Security Manager, or one of the other leading security credentials.

If you have mastered your field, then most of these certifications should be no challenge. The bottom line is that if you call yourself a professional, then clients deserve to see certifications. Progent can broadcast your talents, but you need to have a baseline of credentials for us to market. If you stand adamantly opposed to the concept of certifications, we can understand and honor your opinion, but you are likely not an appropriate candidate.

Improve Your Skills with the Best Technology and
Working with the Top Team of Network Engineers
Progent's work environment will allow you to become a better professional by improving your technical knowledge and boosting the satisfaction of your clients. Progent delivers on this commitment by attracting the best professional experts for you to work with, providing an advanced system architecture, using proprietary application tools to enable the highest level of service, and by optimizing proven operational models for finding and retaining customers.

The main factor that separates Progent from typical consulting companies is the high quality of our support professionals. Out of the scores of consulting experts who have teamed with Progent, we have assembled the best talent covering a broad array of technical areas. Be it Microsoft Windows, Cisco firewalls, network security, Apple, Linux/UNIX, VMware, or other key technologies, we engage professionals who can enable you to be successful on major projects by leveraging the aggregate skills of Progent's group of professionals.

To promote the success of Progent's team, we invest heavily in providing the best tools to perform the work efficiently. We will exploit information technology to an impressive extent and our advanced virtual office environment allows effortless communications, collaboration, and information sharing with other Progent team members — entirely from at-home or on-the-road offices. You don't throw away time or forfeit revenue with regular drives to a physical office, and all driving you do for on-site client work is based on your own schedule, not Progent's. The best benefit is that much of our support services can be done off-site, representing 100% productivity for income-producing time. In fact, some of our team members do remote consulting only.

Our operations are geared towards reacting quickly and effectively to customer requirements through knowledge sharing and cooperative problem resolution. Even though Progent's engineers operate with a great deal of freedom, resource allocation is unified, customer problems and solutions are carefully monitored, recorded, and organized for easy retrieval, current engineer availability is broadcast to facilitate group projects and simplify problem escalation, and customer satisfaction is continually evaluated. We strengthen the sense of cooperation via periodic team conferences and regular company-wide events.

The majority of our team is situated throughout California, but Progent is attracting a rapidly expanding group of consulting experts from across the United States. Progent's virtual office environment does away with geographic boundaries that limit the productivity of traditional company structures. We enhance the package by providing a comprehensive benefit plan to promote the physical health and financial welfare of our employees and their families.

Just as we have awesome consultants, our sales and administration groups live up to the excellence that defines Progent. These high-performance factors behind our success are helping us to identify and sign up the 50-60 new clients we are currently acquiring every month. Progent lately celebrated the delivery of services to our 1,000th client. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why Progent is also a strong marketing organization.

Possessing a commitment to technical excellence is a cornerstone for success with Progent. A career in consulting will drive you to learn more than you would in any other job in network technology. Being exposed to a steady stream of technical challenges is what keeps professional support exciting. Customers rely on a consultant to perform the “hard stuff.” Creative projects, advanced deployments, vexing or entrenched issues, and difficult migrations are the basis for our services every day. At Progent, you will not stall or be pigeonholed, as is all too common for computer professionals in traditional corporate roles. You will awake every day excited about the challenges to come.

On the way, you will meet some great people, both by establishing close customer relationships and by working in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and contribute to their growth. Of course, technology is vital, but we are a relationship-focused company through and through. If you do not have strong communications skills or like working with a diverse assortment of people, then we are probably a poor match.

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