Staff Jobs for Network Consultants, Computer Service Specialists,
Security Experts, and Online Support Technicians
Progent is seeking to find staff-level, solutions-oriented Microsoft accredited engineers with Microsoft MCSE or MCSA certification; Cisco accredited network consultants with Cisco CCIE, CCNP, or CCNA credentials; security professionals who have CISSP, CISM, or CISA or comparable security certification; and high-end network design consultants with experience in mobile access, wireless connectivity, fault tolerance, workplace recovery, data preservation, and server virtualization. Progent also is hiring employees who can work on Progent's staff of helpdesk service technicians and off-site troubleshooting professionals. In addition, We are hiring talented administrators able to operate effectively in Progent's fast-paced, virtual office culture.

By supporting a team of skilled and dedicated professionals, delivering attentive client care, and offering a competitive results-based pricing structure, We have managed to expand our customer list rapidly while providing professional support to hundreds of companies in the San Francisco area and across the U.S. An advanced virtual office environment, a common information database, and a group strategy for problem solving have helped Progent to retain a skilled staff and a loyal customer base.

If you are an information technology professional with technical support expertise, teaming with Progent or working for our clients will expand your skills through cooperation with Progent's staff of highly team-oriented, expert consultants. Our commitment to providing network consulting and computer support to small and midsize organizations will give you the opportunity to work closely with decision makers and contribute appreciably to the growth of dynamic companies.

Progent is hiring technical professionals who have verifiable certification in their special focus. So, if you are a Microsoft expert, you must have your MCSE credential. In the case of Cisco experts, show us your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or Cisco Certified Network Professional credential. For security, you should have earned you CISSP, CISA, CISM, or one of the other leading security certifications. Of course, we are familiar with “paper MCSEs.” However, the fact that a credential does not ensure excellence is no reason for not owning one. If you know your field, then the majority of those certifications should pose no great difficulty. The crux of the matter is that if you represent yourself to be a professional, then customers deserve to see credentials. We can promote your talents, but you need to have basic credentials for us to work with. If you stand adamantly against the concept of certifications, we can sympathize with and honor your position, but you are likely not an appropriate candidate.

Enhance Your Skills with Advanced Technology and
Joining a Great Team of Computer Consultants
Progent's company culture will make you a better consulting professional by improving your technical skills and boosting the loyalty of your customers. Progent delivers on this commitment by recruiting the top professional talent for you to operate with, offering a state-of-the-art system architecture, running custom software utilities to deliver the highest quality of support, and by streamlining our business structures for attracting and retaining customers.

The decisive factor that differentiates us from other network support firms is the quality of our consultants. Among the 50 or so consulting experts who have teamed with us, we have assembled top expertise covering a broad array of technical areas. Be it Microsoft Windows, Cisco switches, network security, Macintosh, Linux/UNIX, VMware, or other crucial technologies, we engage experts who can enable you to be effective on major jobs by combining the collective skills of Progent's team of professionals.

To promote the success of our consultants, we invest heavily in providing the most powerful tools to do the work efficiently. We will leverage technology to an extraordinary extent and our state-of-the-art virtual office infrastructure enables effortless communications, collaboration, and knowledge exchange with other Progent team members — entirely from at-home or mobile offices. Consultants don't throw away time or lose income with daily drives to a physical office, and any driving you do for on-site client jobs is determined by your time table, not Progent's. The best benefit is that much of our consulting work can be performed off-site, representing 100% efficiency for billable time. In practice, some Progent team members do off-site consulting only.

Progent's business structure is geared towards responding rapidly and effectively to client requirements through information exchange and cooperative problem solving. Although Progent's engineers work with a great deal of freedom, resource allocation is unified, customer issues and solutions are carefully tracked, recorded, and organized for easy retrieval, current engineer availability is published to streamline group projects and enable problem escalation, and client satisfaction is continually monitored. We strengthen the feeling of cooperation through monthly workgroup conferences and quarterly corporate events.

Most of our consultants are located across California, however Progent is attracting a quickly expanding team of network professionals from across the U.S. Progent's virtual office infrastructure eliminates regional boundaries that restrict the productivity of traditional business structures. We enhance the package by offering a comprehensive employee care plan to ensure the physical health and financial welfare of our employees and their relations.

Just as we have awesome consultants, Progent's marketing and administration groups live up to the excellence that defines Progent. These top-notch factors behind our success are helping us to identify and land the 50-60 new clients we are currently acquiring each month. Progent lately celebrated the providing of services to our 1,000th customer. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why we are also an effective marketing organization.

Possessing a passion for technical excellence is a key for growth with us. A job in consulting will push you to enhance your skills more than is possible in any other job in information technology. Being confronted by a steady stream of network challenges is what keeps professional support interesting. Customers rely on consulting firms to do the “hard stuff.” Innovative projects, leading-edge deployments, vexing or entrenched issues, and difficult migrations are the foundation for what we do daily. With us, you will not stagnate or be narrowly defined, as is sadly typical for computer professionals in ordinary corporate jobs. You will wake up every day excited about the challenges to come.

Along the way, you will work with some great folks, both by establishing strong customer relationships and by working in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will learn from and contribute to their success. Yes, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-focused company heart and soul. If you do not offer excellent communications skills or like working with a varied assortment of personalities, then we are probably not a good fit.

If all this sounds good to you, we urge you to contact us about our view of the future of information technology consulting.
