Details Concerning Jobs with Us

Career Work for Network Engineers, Computer Service Specialists,
Security Experts, and Remote Support Technicians
Progent is seeking to find fulltime, solutions-driven Microsoft accredited consultants with MCSE or MCP certification; Cisco accredited system consultants who have CCIE credentials; security consultants who have CISSP or comparable security credentials; and advanced system design consultants with experience in mobile solutions, wireless networking, high uptime, disaster recovery, data protection, and server virtualization. Progent also is looking for employees who can work on Progent's team of help desk support technicians and remote troubleshooting experts. Also, Progent is hiring experienced administrators able to perform effectively in our fast-paced, virtual office culture.

By supporting a team of talented and motivated professionals, providing world-class client services, and following a competitive value-focused fee structure, Progent has managed to increase our client base rapidly while providing consulting services to hundreds of businesses in the San Francisco area and throughout the United States. A sophisticated virtual office network, a common knowledge database, and a group strategy for problem resolution have allowed Progent to maintain a skilled staff and a satisfied client base.

For an information technology consultant with technical support experience, joining Progent or helping our clients can enhance your knowledge via interaction with our group of highly team-oriented, talented engineers. Our focus on delivering information technology consulting and technical support to small companies will give you the chance to work closely with decision makers and add significantly to the growth of dynamic businesses.

Progent is hiring technical professionals that can show verifiable credentials in their technical expertise. For example, if you are a Microsoft expert, you should have your Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer credential. For Cisco consultants, show us your CCIE or CCNP credential. For network security, you should have earned you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, Certified Information Systems Auditor, CISM, or one of the other top security credentials. Of course, we are familiar with "paper experts". Still, simply because a credential can not guarantee excellence is no excuse for not owning one. If you know your field, then the majority of those certifications should be no challenge. The crux of the matter is that if you are a professional, then customers expect certifications. Progent can promote your talents, but you should provide standard certifications for us to market. If you stand adamantly opposed to the idea of credentials, Progent can sympathize with and respect your opinion, but you are probably not an appropriate fit.

Progent's company culture will make you a better consultant by improving your information technology knowledge and increasing the satisfaction of your customers. Progent delivers on this promise by recruiting the best consulting experts for you to operate with, providing a state-of-the-art network and communications architecture, using specialized software utilities to enable the highest quality of service, and by optimizing our operational structures for finding and maintaining customers.

The most important factor that separates Progent from most consulting firms is the high caliber of our consulting team. Out of the 50 or so consultants who have joined Progent, we have recruited the best expertise covering a wide range of technical areas. Be it Microsoft servers, Cisco switches, network security, Apple, Linux/UNIX, server virtualization, or other key application, we deploy experts who can help you to be effective on major jobs by combining the collective skills of our group of experts.

To promote the success of our team, we invest significantly in providing the best tools to perform the work properly. We will exploit technology to an impressive degree and our advanced virtual office infrastructure enables effortless connectivity, cooperation, and information sharing with other Progent team members — entirely from home-based or mobile offices. You don't throw away time or lose revenue because of regular drives to a conventional office, and any driving you do for in-person client work is determined by your own time table, not Progent's. The best part is that most of our support services can be done off-site, offering maximum efficiency for income-producing hours. In fact, some Progent team members do remote support exclusively.

Progent's operations are set up for reacting rapidly and effectively to customer requirements via knowledge sharing and cooperative problem solving. Even though our consultants operate with a high level of independence, dispatching is unified, client problems and resolutions are carefully monitored, documented, and organized for easy retrieval, current consultant availability is published to facilitate team projects and enable problem escalation, and customer approval is continually monitored. We strengthen the feeling of connection through periodic team conferences and regular company-wide events.

The majority of our team is located across California, but Progent is building a rapidly growing group of consulting experts throughout America. Progent's virtual office environment does away with regional boundaries that restrict the productivity of traditional business models. We complete the deal by offering a comprehensive employee care program to ensure the physical health and economic welfare of our team members and their relations.

Just as we have world-class consulting professionals, our sales and operations groups match the high standards that is Progent. These high-performance factors behind our success are helping us to target and sign up the 50-60 new clients we are currently acquiring every month. Progent recently marked the providing of support to our 1,000th client. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why we are also a strong sales operation.

Having a passion for technical proficiency is a key for growth with Progent. A job in consulting will push you to enhance your skills more than is possible in any other position in information technology. Being confronted by a steady stream of network challenges is what makes consulting exciting. Clients choose consultants to do the “hard stuff.” Creative tasks, leading-edge deployments, vexing or chronic problems, and tricky upgrades are the basis for our services 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 morning excited about the opportunities ahead.

On the way, you will meet some wonderful people, both by building strong customer contacts and by operating closely with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and add to their success. Yes, technology is important, but we are a relationship-focused company heart and soul. If you do not have excellent communications skills or like working with a varied group of personalities, then we are in all likelihood a poor match.

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