Additional Facts Concerning Work with Us

Staff Work for Network Engineers, Desktop Support Specialists,
Security Experts, and Online Help Technicians
Progent is seeking to find staff-level, solutions-oriented Microsoft accredited engineers with MCSE or MCP certification; Cisco certified system consultants with Cisco CCIE, CCNP, or CCNA certification; security professionals with CISSP, CISM, or CISA or equivalent security credentials; and high-end network design consultants with experience in mobile access, wireless networking, fault tolerance, business continuity, information protection, and server virtualization. Progent also is hiring professionals to join our team of helpdesk support technicians and off-site troubleshooting professionals. In addition, We are hiring talented administrators who can operate effectively in Progent's high-growth, virtual office environment.

By supporting a team of skilled and motivated professionals, providing world-class customer services, and offering a strong results-based fee model, We have managed to increase our customer base dramatically while providing consulting support to hundreds of businesses in the San Francisco area and throughout the United States. An advanced virtual office network, a common information base, and a team strategy for problem solving have helped Progent to maintain a talented consulting team and a satisfied customer list.

If you are a network consultant with technical support expertise, joining Progent or helping our clients will expand your skills through interaction with Progent's group of mutually supportive, talented engineers. Our focus on providing network consulting and computer support to small and midsize organizations will offer you the chance to collaborate closely with decision makers and contribute appreciably to the success of dynamic companies.

Progent is hiring consultants who can show verifiable certification related to their technical expertise. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you should have your Microsoft MCSE certificate. In the case of Cisco professionals, have your CCIE or Cisco Certified Network Professional credential. For network security, you should have you CISSP, CISA, CISM, or other top security certifications. Of course, Progent is familiar with “paper MCSEs.” Still, simply because a credential can not guarantee excellence is no justification for not having one. If you know your field, then the majority of those certifications should present no challenge. The point is that if you represent yourself to be a professional, then customers deserve to see credentials. Progent can broadcast your talents, but you must have a baseline of credentials for Progent to market. If you happen to be adamantly against the idea of certifications, we can understand and honor your position, but you are probably not a good fit.

Progent makes good on this promise by recruiting the top professional experts for you to work with, providing an advanced network and communications infrastructure, running custom software tools to enable the maximum level of service, and by streamlining proven operational structures for finding and keeping customers.

The decisive factor that distinguishes Progent from most network support companies is the high caliber of our service staff. Out of the 50 or so consultants who have joined Progent, we have recruited the best talent covering a wide range of technologies. Whether it's Microsoft Windows, Cisco switches, corporate security, Mac, Linux/UNIX, server virtualization, or other vital application, we engage professionals who can enable you to be successful on larger projects by leveraging the aggregate experience of Progent's team of professionals.

To ensure the productivity of Progent's consultants, we invest heavily in providing the most powerful technology to perform the job efficiently. Progent will leverage technology to an extraordinary degree and our state-of-the-art virtual office environment enables effortless communications, cooperation, and information exchange with other Progent team members — all from at-home or on-the-road offices. You don't waste time or forfeit revenue with regular drives to a physical office, and any travel you do for in-person customer work is determined by your own schedule, not Progent's. The best part is that most of Progent's consulting services can be performed off-site, representing 100% productivity for billable hours. In practice, some Progent team members do remote support only.

Our operations are geared towards responding quickly and efficiently to client needs via information sharing and cooperative problem solving. Even though Progent's engineers operate with a great deal of freedom, dispatching is unified, customer problems and resolutions are meticulously tracked, documented, and archived for convenient reference, current engineer availability is published to facilitate team projects and simplify trouble escalation, and client approval is always evaluated. We reinforce the feeling of cooperation via periodic team meetings and regular corporate events.

Most of Progent's team is located throughout California, however we are building a rapidly growing team of consulting experts throughout the United States. Our virtual office environment does away with regional obstacles that restrict the productivity of traditional business structures. We complete the deal by offering a full employee care plan to promote the health and economic security of our team members and their relations.

Just as we have awesome consulting professionals, Progent's marketing and administration teams live up to the high standards that characterizes Progent. These high-performance factors behind our success are enabling us to target and land the 50-60 new customers we are now engaging each month. We recently celebrated the delivery of services to our 1,000th client. Try typing “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 growth with Progent. A job in consulting will drive you to enhance your skills more than is possible in any other position in information technology. Being exposed to a continual series of network challenges is what makes consulting exciting. Customers rely on a consultant to do the “hard stuff.” Innovative projects, advanced deployments, vexing or entrenched issues, and difficult migrations are the basis for our services daily. With us, you will not stall or be pigeonholed, as is all too typical for computer engineers in traditional corporate jobs. You will wake up every day enthusiastic about the opportunities to come.

Along the way, you will work with some wonderful folks, both by building strong client relationships and by operating in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and add to their growth. Yes, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-focused organization from top to bottom. If you don't offer strong people skills or enjoy cooperating with a diverse group of personalities, then Progent is in all likelihood a poor match.

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