Security Experts, and Remote Support Professionals
Progent is seeking to find full-time, results-driven Microsoft accredited engineers with Microsoft MCSE credentials; Cisco certified system consultants who have Cisco CCIE credentials; security professionals who have CISSP or equivalent security certification; and advanced system design consultants with a background in mobile solutions, wireless connectivity, high availability, workplace recovery, data protection, and virtual servers.

For a network professional with troubleshooting experience, teaming with Progent or working for Progent's clients can enhance your knowledge through interaction with our group of mutually supportive, expert engineers. Our commitment to providing network consulting and technical support to small organizations will offer you the opportunity to collaborate intimately with decision makers and contribute significantly to the success of dynamic companies.

Progent is hiring technical professionals who have verifiable credentials in their special focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you must have earned your Microsoft MCSE credential. In the case of Cisco professionals, have your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or Cisco Certified Network Professional credential. For security, you should have earned you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, CISA, Certified Information Security Manager, or one of the other top security credentials. Of course, Progent is aware of “paper MCSEs.” Notwithstanding, simply because a certificate can not guarantee expertise is no reason for not having one. If you have mastered your field, then the majority of those certifications should pose no great difficulty. The point is that if you are an expert, then clients expect credentials. Progent will promote your skills, but you must have basic certifications for us to market. If you are strongly against the idea of certifications, we can sympathize with and honor your opinion, but you are probably not an appropriate candidate.

To ensure the success of Progent's team, we invest heavily in providing the most powerful tools to perform the job properly. We will leverage technology to an impressive degree and our advanced virtual office infrastructure enables seamless communications, cooperation, and knowledge exchange with other Progent team members — all from at-home or mobile offices. You don't waste time or forfeit income with daily drives to a physical office, and any travel you do for on-site client jobs is based on your time table, not ours. The best benefit is that much of Progent's support services can be performed remotely, representing maximum efficiency for billable hours. In fact, some of our team members do off-site support only.

Progent's operations are geared towards responding quickly and efficiently to customer requirements via knowledge sharing and collaborative problem solving. Even though our engineers work with a high level of freedom, resource allocation is centralized, customer problems and resolutions are carefully tracked, recorded, and archived for convenient retrieval, up-to-date consultant availability is broadcast to streamline group projects and simplify problem escalation, and customer approval is always evaluated. We reinforce the feeling of connection through periodic workgroup meetings and regular company-wide events.

Possessing a commitment to technical proficiency is a key for success with Progent. A career in consulting will push you to enhance your skills more than is possible in any other job in network technology. Being confronted by a continual series of technical challenges is what keeps consulting interesting. Clients choose consulting firms to do the “hard stuff.” Creative projects, leading-edge deployments, puzzling or entrenched issues, and difficult upgrades are the foundation for what we do daily. With us, you will not stall or be pigeonholed, as is sadly typical for network professionals in traditional corporate roles. You will wake up every day enthusiastic about the opportunities to come.

On the way, you will work with some wonderful folks, both by building strong customer contacts and by operating in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will learn from and add to their growth. Of course, technology is important, but we are a relationship-focused organization heart and soul. If you do not have strong communications skills or enjoy cooperating with a varied group of personalities, then Progent is in all likelihood a poor match.

If this sounds right for you, we urge you to contact Progent about our view of the new paradigm of information technology consulting.
