More Information About Opportunities at Progent

Career Work for Network Engineers, Computer Support Technicians,
Security Consultants, and Online Help Professionals
Progent wants to find staff-level, solutions-oriented Microsoft certified consultants with Microsoft MCSE or MCSA credentials; Cisco certified system consultants who have Cisco CCIE or CCNP credentials; security consultants with CISM or comparable security credentials; and high-end system architecture experts with a background in mobile access, wireless connectivity, high availability, disaster recovery, data protection, and server virtualization. Progent also seeks professionals who can join Progent's team of help desk support technicians and remote troubleshooting experts. In addition, We are looking for experienced managers able to perform effectively in Progent's fast-paced, virtual office culture.

By supporting a team of talented and motivated consultants, delivering attentive client services, and following a competitive results-based fee structure, Progent has been able to increase our client list dramatically while providing consulting services to hundreds of businesses in the San Francisco area and across the United States. A sophisticated virtual office network, a common information base, and a team strategy for problem solving have allowed Progent to retain a skilled consulting team and a satisfied customer list.

If you are an information technology consultant with troubleshooting expertise, joining Progent or helping our customers will enhance your skills via interaction with our group of mutually team-oriented, talented consultants. Our commitment to providing information technology consulting and computer help to small and midsize organizations will give you the chance to collaborate intimately with key players and contribute appreciably to the growth of exciting businesses.

Progent is looking for consultants who can show verifiable certification in their special expertise. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you should have your Microsoft MCSE credential. In the case of Cisco consultants, have your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or Cisco Certified Network Professional certificate. For security, you should have you CISSP, CISA, Certified Information Security Manager, or other top security certifications. Of course, we are aware of “paper MCSEs.” Notwithstanding, simply because a credential can not ensure expertise is no justification for not having one. If you have mastered your stuff, then most of these tests should pose no great difficulty. The crux of the matter is that if you are an expert, then customers expect credentials. We can broadcast your talents, but you need to have a baseline of certifications for us to market. If you are strongly against the idea of credentials, Progent can sympathize with and respect your opinion, but you are likely not an appropriate candidate.

Progent delivers on this commitment by attracting the best consulting experts for you to operate with, offering a state-of-the-art network and communications architecture, running custom application tools to deliver the maximum level of support, and by optimizing proven operational models for finding and keeping clients.

The most important factor that separates us from most consulting companies is the high caliber of our consultants. Out of the 50 or so consultants who have teamed with us, we have assembled top talent covering a broad range of technologies. Be it Microsoft Windows, Cisco firewalls, network security, Macintosh, Linux, VMware, or other crucial areas, we deploy experts who can enable you to be successful on major jobs by leveraging the collective skills of our team of professionals.

To ensure the productivity of our team, we invest heavily in making available the most powerful technology to do the work efficiently. Progent will leverage technology to an extraordinary extent and our state-of-the-art virtual office infrastructure enables seamless communications, cooperation, and information sharing with other Progent team members — all from at-home or on-the-road offices. Consultants don't waste time or forfeit income because of regular commutes to a physical office, and any driving you do for on-site customer jobs is based on your schedule, not ours. The best part is that much of Progent's support services can be performed remotely, offering 100% productivity for income-producing time. In practice, some Progent team members do remote consulting exclusively.

Our operations are set up for reacting quickly and efficiently to customer requirements via information exchange and collaborative problem solving. Although our consultants work with a high level of freedom, dispatching is centralized, customer issues and resolutions are carefully tracked, documented, and archived for convenient reference, current consultant availability is published to facilitate group tasks and simplify problem escalation, and customer satisfaction is continually evaluated. We strengthen the sense of connection via periodic team conferences and quarterly corporate events.

The majority of our consultants are situated across California, however Progent is building a rapidly expanding team of consulting experts from across America. Our virtual office environment eliminates geographic obstacles that limit the efficiency of traditional company structures. We complete the deal by providing a comprehensive benefit program to promote the health and economic security of our employees and their families.

Just as we have awesome consulting professionals, our marketing and operations teams match the high standards that defines Progent. These high-performance contributors to our success are helping us to identify and land the scores of new customers we are currently engaging each month. We lately celebrated the delivery of support to our 1,000th client. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why Progent is also an effective marketing operation.

Having a commitment to technical excellence is a key for success with us. A job in consulting will drive you to enhance your skills more than is possible in any other job in network technology. Being confronted by a continual series of network challenges is what keeps consulting interesting. Customers rely on a consultant to perform the toughest jobs. Innovative projects, leading-edge implementations, vexing or entrenched problems, and difficult migrations are the basis for our services every day. With us, you will not stall or be pigeonholed, as is sadly typical for computer engineers in ordinary corporate roles. You will wake up every morning enthusiastic about the opportunities ahead.

Along the way, you will meet some great folks, both by building close client relationships and by operating closely with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and add to their growth. Yes, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-oriented organization heart and soul. If you do not have strong communications skills or enjoy cooperating with a varied assortment of people, then we are probably a poor match.

If this seems right for you, we urge you to contact us about our view of the new paradigm of network consulting.
