Details Concerning Opportunities with Us

Staff Jobs for Network Engineers, Computer Service Technicians,
Security Consultants, and Remote Support Technicians
Progent is seeking to hire staff-level, solutions-oriented Microsoft accredited engineers with Microsoft MCSE credentials; Cisco certified system engineers who have Cisco CCIE or CCNP credentials; security professionals with CISSP, CISM, or CISA or equivalent security certification; and high-end network design experts with a background in mobile solutions, wireless connectivity, high uptime, workplace recovery, data protection, and server virtualization. Progent also is looking for professionals to work on Progent's staff of helpdesk service technicians and off-site troubleshooting experts. Also, We are looking for talented administrators who can operate productively in our high-growth, virtual office culture.

By maintaining a staff of skilled and dedicated professionals, delivering attentive client services, and offering a strong value-based pricing structure, We have been able to expand our client base rapidly while delivering consulting support to hundreds of companies in the San Francisco area and across the U.S. An advanced virtual office environment, a common knowledge database, and a group strategy for problem solving have helped Progent to retain a talented consulting team and a loyal customer base.

If you are a network consultant with technical support experience, joining Progent or helping Progent's customers will enhance your knowledge through cooperation with Progent's group of highly supportive, talented consultants. Progent's focus on providing information technology expertise and computer support to small and midsize organizations will give you the chance to work intimately with decision makers and contribute appreciably to the success of exciting companies.

We are looking for technical professionals who can show recognized credentials related to their special focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you must have your Microsoft MCSE credential. For Cisco consultants, have your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or Cisco Certified Network Professional credential. For network security, you should have earned you CISSP, Certified Information Systems Auditor, CISM, or one of the other top security certifications. Of course, Progent is aware of "paper experts". However, the fact that a certificate does not ensure excellence is no excuse for not owning one. If you have mastered your field, then most of these tests should present no challenge. The point is that if you are a professional, then customers expect certifications. Progent can promote your skills, but you need to provide basic certifications for Progent to market. If you are adamantly opposed to the idea of certifications, Progent can understand and honor your position, but you are probably not a good candidate.

Enhance Your Skills with Advanced Technology and
Working with the Top Group of Network Consultants
Progent's work environment will make you a more capable consulting professional by enhancing your technical skills and boosting the loyalty of your customers. Progent makes good on this commitment by attracting the best consulting talent for you to operate with, providing a state-of-the-art network and communications infrastructure, running specialized software tools to enable the highest quality of support, and by optimizing proven operational models for finding and retaining clients.

The decisive factor that distinguishes us from typical consulting firms is the quality of our consultants. Among the scores of consulting experts who have teamed with Progent, we have assembled top expertise covering a wide array of technologies. Whether it's Microsoft Windows, Cisco firewalls, corporate security, Mac, Linux, server virtualization, or other key technologies, we engage professionals who can help you to be successful on larger jobs by leveraging the collective experience of Progent's team of experts.

To ensure the success of our consultants, we invest heavily in providing the best technology to perform the work properly. We will exploit information technology to an extraordinary degree and our state-of-the-art virtual office environment allows seamless communications, collaboration, and information exchange with other Progent consultants — all from at-home or mobile offices. You don't throw away time or lose income because of daily commutes to a physical office, and all driving you do for in-person client jobs is determined by your own time table, not ours. The most attractive benefit is that much of Progent's support work can be done remotely, representing 100% productivity for billable time. In fact, some Progent staff do off-site support exclusively.

Progent's business structure is set up for reacting quickly and efficiently to client requirements through information sharing and cooperative problem resolution. Even though our engineers operate with a high level of independence, dispatching is centralized, client issues and resolutions are meticulously tracked, recorded, and archived for easy retrieval, current consultant availability is published to facilitate group tasks and simplify trouble escalation, and client satisfaction is continually monitored. We reinforce the feeling of cooperation through monthly team conferences and quarterly company-wide events.

Most of Progent's team is situated throughout California, but we are attracting a rapidly expanding team of consulting experts throughout America. Our virtual office environment does away with geographic boundaries that limit the efficiency of traditional business structures. We enhance the package by providing a full employee care program to promote the health and financial welfare of our employees and their relations.

Not only do we have world-class consulting professionals, our sales and administration groups live up to the excellence that characterizes Progent. These high-performance contributors to our growth are enabling us to identify and land the scores of new customers we are currently engaging every month. We lately marked the providing of services to our 1,000th customer. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why Progent is also an effective marketing organization.

Having a commitment to technical proficiency is a key for growth with Progent. A job in consulting will drive you to learn more than is possible in any other position in information technology. Being confronted by a continual stream of network challenges is what makes professional support exciting. Clients rely on a consultant to do the “hard stuff.” Innovative tasks, leading-edge implementations, puzzling or chronic problems, and difficult upgrades are the basis for our services every day. At Progent, you will not stall or be pigeonholed, as is sadly common for network engineers in traditional corporate jobs. You will awake every day enthusiastic about the challenges to come.

On the way, you will work with some wonderful people, both by establishing strong client relationships and by operating in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and contribute to their growth. Of course, technology is important, but we are a relationship-oriented organization through and through. If you don't have strong communications skills or enjoy working with a diverse assortment of people, then Progent is in all likelihood not a good match.

If this seems good to you, we invite you to talk to us about our view of the new paradigm of information technology consulting.
