Additional Facts About Work at Progent

Career Jobs for Network Engineers, Desktop Support Specialists,
Security Experts, and Remote Support Professionals
Progent wants to hire staff-level, results-driven Microsoft certified consultants with MCSE or MCP credentials; Cisco accredited system engineers with Cisco CCIE, CCNP, or CCNA credentials; security consultants with CISM or comparable security credentials; and high-end system design experts with a background in mobile access, wireless networking, fault tolerance, disaster recovery, information protection, and virtual servers. Progent also is looking for employees to work on Progent's team of help desk support specialists and off-site troubleshooting professionals. In addition, Progent is seeking experienced managers able to operate effectively in our fast-paced, virtual office culture.

By supporting a team of skilled and dedicated consultants, providing world-class client services, and offering a competitive results-based fee structure, Progent has been able to increase our client base dramatically while providing professional services to hundreds of businesses in the San Francisco area and throughout the U.S. A sophisticated virtual office network, a common knowledge base, and a group approach to problem resolution have helped Progent to maintain a talented staff and a loyal client list.

If you are a network professional with technical support experience, teaming with Progent or working for our customers will enhance your knowledge through interaction with our staff of highly team-oriented, expert consultants. Progent's focus on providing information technology consulting and technical help to small and midsize companies will offer you the opportunity to work closely with decision makers and add significantly to the success of dynamic businesses.

Progent is hiring technical professionals who can show recognized credentials in their special expertise. So, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you must have earned your MCSE certificate. For Cisco professionals, show us your CCIE or Cisco Certified Network Professional certificate. For network security, you should show you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, CISA, Certified Information Security Manager, or other top security credentials. Of course, we are aware of “paper MCSEs.” Nevertheless, the fact that a credential does not ensure excellence is no excuse for not having one. If you have mastered your stuff, then the majority of those certifications should present no challenge. The bottom line is that if you are a professional, then customers expect certifications. We will promote your skills, but you need to provide standard certifications for us to work with. In case you are adamantly opposed to the concept of credentials, Progent can sympathize with and respect your position, but you are probably not an appropriate fit.

Enhance Your Skills with Advanced Technology and
Working with a Great Group of Computer Consultants
Progent's company culture will make you a better consultant by improving your technical knowledge and increasing the loyalty of your customers. Progent delivers on this promise by recruiting the best consulting talent for you to work with, providing an advanced system architecture, running custom application tools to deliver the highest level of support, and by streamlining proven operational structures for attracting and retaining customers.

The decisive factor that separates Progent from most consulting companies is the excellence of our consultants. Among the 50 or so consultants who have joined Progent, we have assembled the best expertise covering a wide array of technical areas. Whether it's Microsoft servers, Cisco switches, corporate security, Mac, Linux/UNIX, VMware, or other vital areas, we deploy experts who can help you to be effective on larger jobs by leveraging the collective skills of Progent's group of professionals.

To promote the productivity of Progent's consultants, we invest significantly in making available the most powerful tools to perform the job properly. We will leverage technology to an extraordinary extent and our state-of-the-art virtual office infrastructure enables seamless communications, cooperation, and knowledge sharing with other Progent team members — all from home-based or mobile offices. You don't throw away time or lose income because of daily commutes to a physical office, and any driving you do for on-site customer jobs is determined by your time table, not ours. The most attractive benefit is that much of Progent's support services can be done remotely, representing 100% efficiency for billable hours. In practice, some Progent team members do off-site consulting only.

Our operations are geared towards reacting quickly and effectively to customer requirements through knowledge exchange and cooperative problem solving. Although our engineers operate with a high level of freedom, resource allocation is unified, client problems and solutions are carefully tracked, recorded, and organized for easy reference, current consultant availability is published to streamline team tasks and enable trouble escalation, and client satisfaction is continually evaluated. We strengthen the feeling of cooperation via periodic team conferences and quarterly corporate events.

The majority of Progent's consultants are located throughout California, however Progent is building a quickly expanding team of consulting experts from across the United States. Our virtual office environment eliminates geographic obstacles that limit the productivity of conventional business structures. We complete the deal by providing a comprehensive benefit plan to ensure the physical health and financial welfare of our team members and their families.

Not only do we have world-class consulting professionals, Progent's sales and administration teams match the high standards that characterizes Progent. These high-performance contributors to our success are helping us to target and sign up the scores of new customers we are currently acquiring every month. Progent lately celebrated the delivery of support to our 1,000th client. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why we are also an effective sales operation.

Having a passion for technical excellence is a cornerstone for success with Progent. A career in consulting will drive you to learn more than is possible in any other position in network technology. Being exposed to a continual series of network challenges is what makes consulting exciting. Clients rely on consulting firms to do the toughest jobs. Innovative tasks, advanced implementations, vexing or chronic issues, and tricky upgrades are the basis for what we do every day. At Progent, you will not stall or be narrowly defined, as is sadly common for network professionals in ordinary corporate jobs. You will wake up every day enthusiastic about the challenges ahead.

On the way, you will meet some great people, both by building close client relationships and by working closely with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and contribute to their growth. Yes, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-focused organization heart and soul. If you don't offer excellent communications skills or like cooperating with a varied group of personalities, then Progent is probably a poor fit.

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