Details About Work at Progent

Staff Work for Network Engineers, Desktop Service Specialists,
Security Experts, and Remote Support Professionals
Progent is seeking to hire full-time, results-driven Microsoft accredited consultants with Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer certification; Cisco accredited network consultants with Cisco credentials; security consultants with CISSP or comparable security credentials; and high-end network design consultants with a background in mobile solutions, wireless connectivity, fault tolerance, disaster recovery, data preservation, and server virtualization. Progent also seeks professionals who can work on Progent's staff of desktop service specialists and remote support professionals. Also, Progent is looking for talented managers able to operate productively in Progent's high-growth, virtual office environment.

By supporting a team of skilled and dedicated consultants, providing world-class client care, and offering a strong results-based fee structure, We have managed to increase our client base rapidly while providing professional services to numerous businesses in the San Francisco area and across the U.S. A sophisticated virtual office network, a shared knowledge database, and a team strategy for problem solving have allowed Progent to retain a skilled staff and a satisfied client base.

If you are an information technology consultant with troubleshooting expertise, joining Progent or helping our clients can expand your knowledge via cooperation with our staff of highly team-oriented, talented engineers. Progent's commitment to delivering information technology expertise and technical support to small and midsize companies will give you the chance to collaborate closely with key players and add significantly to the growth of exciting companies.

We are hiring technical professionals who can show recognized certification related to their special focus. So, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you should have earned your MCSE credential. For Cisco experts, show us your CCIE or CCNP credential. For security, you should have earned you CISSP, Certified Information Systems Auditor, Certified Information Security Manager, or one of the other leading security credentials. Of course, Progent is aware of "paper experts". However, simply because a credential does not ensure expertise is no excuse for not having one. If you know your field, then most of these certifications should pose no challenge. The point is that if you represent yourself to be a professional, then clients deserve to see certifications. Progent can promote your talents, but you should provide basic certifications for us to market. In case you happen to be adamantly against the concept of credentials, Progent can understand and honor your opinion, but you are probably not a good candidate.

Progent delivers on this commitment by attracting the top consulting talent for you to operate with, providing a state-of-the-art system architecture, using custom application tools to enable the maximum level of support, and by streamlining proven operational structures for finding and keeping clients.

The main factor that distinguishes Progent from other network support companies is the quality of our consulting team. Among the 50 or so consulting experts who have teamed with us, we have recruited the best expertise covering a wide array of technical areas. Be it Microsoft servers, Cisco switches, corporate security, Macintosh, Linux, VMware, or other key technologies, we deploy experts who can help you to be effective on larger jobs by combining the collective experience of Progent's group of professionals.

To promote the productivity of our team, we invest significantly in providing the most powerful tools to perform the work properly. We will leverage technology to an extraordinary extent and our advanced virtual office infrastructure enables seamless communications, cooperation, and information exchange with fellow Progent consultants — all from at-home or mobile offices. Consultants don't throw away time or forfeit income because of daily drives to a conventional office, and all driving you do for in-person client jobs is determined by your schedule, not ours. The best benefit is that much of Progent's support work can be done off-site, offering 100% efficiency for income-producing time. In fact, some of our staff do remote support only.

Our operations are set up for responding quickly and effectively to client needs via knowledge exchange and collaborative problem resolution. Although Progent's engineers operate with a great deal of freedom, dispatching is centralized, client problems and resolutions are meticulously tracked, recorded, and organized for convenient retrieval, current consultant schedules are published to facilitate team projects and simplify trouble escalation, and client approval is continually monitored. We strengthen the sense of cooperation via periodic workgroup conferences and regular company-wide events.

The majority of Progent's consultants are located throughout California, however Progent is attracting a quickly growing group of consulting experts throughout America. Our virtual office infrastructure does away with geographic obstacles that limit the productivity of traditional business structures. We complete the deal by providing a comprehensive employee care plan to promote the physical health and financial welfare of our team members and their relations.

We recently celebrated the delivery of services to our 1,000th client. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why Progent is also an effective sales operation.

Possessing a passion for technical excellence is a cornerstone for growth with Progent. A career in consulting will drive you to learn more than you would in any other job in network technology. Being exposed to a steady series of technical challenges is what keeps consulting interesting. Clients rely on a consultant to perform the toughest jobs. Innovative tasks, leading-edge deployments, puzzling or entrenched problems, and difficult upgrades are the basis for what we do every day. With us, you will not stagnate or be narrowly defined, as is all too typical for network engineers in traditional corporate roles. You will wake up every day enthusiastic about the challenges ahead.

Along the way, you will meet some great folks, both by establishing strong customer contacts and by working in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will learn from and contribute to their success. Of course, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-oriented organization heart and soul. If you do not have excellent people skills or enjoy cooperating with a diverse assortment of personalities, then Progent is probably a poor match.

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