Details Concerning Jobs at Progent

Career Jobs for Network Consultants, Computer Support Specialists,
Security Consultants, and Remote Support Professionals
Progent wants to hire fulltime, solutions-driven Microsoft certified engineers with Microsoft MCSE credentials; Cisco certified network consultants who have Cisco CCIE or CCNP credentials; security professionals with CISA or equivalent security credentials; and high-end network architecture experts with experience in mobile solutions, wireless connectivity, high uptime, workplace recovery, data protection, and server virtualization. Progent also seeks employees who can join our team of desktop support technicians and off-site support experts. Also, We are hiring experienced administrators able to operate effectively in Progent's high-growth, virtual office culture.

By supporting a staff of talented and dedicated consultants, delivering world-class client care, and following a competitive value-based fee model, Progent has been able to expand our client list rapidly while delivering consulting support to numerous companies in the San Francisco area and throughout the United States. A sophisticated virtual office environment, a common knowledge base, and a team strategy for problem resolution have helped Progent to retain a skilled staff and a satisfied client base.

For a network professional with technical support experience, teaming with Progent or helping Progent's clients will expand your knowledge via cooperation with Progent's staff of mutually supportive, talented consultants. Progent's commitment to providing information technology expertise and technical help to small and midsize companies will give you the chance to collaborate intimately with key players and contribute appreciably to the success of exciting businesses.

We are looking for consultants who can show verifiable credentials related to their technical focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft expert, you should have your Microsoft MCSE certificate. For Cisco experts, show us your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or Cisco Certified Network Professional certificate. For security, you should show you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, Certified Information Systems Auditor, Certified Information Security Manager, or one of the other leading security credentials. Of course, Progent is familiar with “paper MCSEs.” Still, the fact that a certificate does not ensure expertise is no justification for not owning one. If you have mastered your stuff, then most of these certifications should present no great difficulty. The crux of the matter is that if you are an expert, then customers expect credentials. Progent can broadcast your talents, but you need to provide standard credentials for Progent to work with. If you are adamantly opposed to the idea of certifications, we can understand and respect your position, but you are likely not an appropriate candidate.

Improve Your Skills with Advanced Technology and
Working with the Top Group of Network Consultants
Progent's company culture will allow you to become a better consulting professional by enhancing your information technology skills and boosting the loyalty of your clients. Progent makes good on this promise by attracting the best professional experts for you to operate with, offering an advanced network and communications architecture, using proprietary software tools to enable the highest level of service, and by streamlining proven business structures for finding and maintaining customers.

The main factor that separates Progent from typical consulting companies is the quality of our consultants. Out of the scores of consultants who have joined us, we have assembled the best talent across a wide range of technologies. Whether it's Microsoft servers, Cisco switches, corporate security, Macintosh, Linux/UNIX, VMware, or other vital application, we engage professionals who can enable you to be successful on larger projects by combining the collective experience of our team of experts.

To ensure the productivity of our team, we invest heavily in providing the best tools to do the job efficiently. We will leverage technology to an impressive degree and our advanced virtual office infrastructure enables seamless communications, cooperation, and knowledge exchange with other Progent team members — entirely from at-home or on-the-road offices. Consultants don't throw away time or forfeit income because of daily commutes to a conventional office building, and all driving you do for on-site client work is determined by your time table, not Progent's. The best benefit is that much of our consulting services can be performed off-site, representing maximum productivity for billable hours. In fact, some of our staff do off-site consulting only.

Our business structure is geared towards reacting rapidly and effectively to customer needs through information sharing and cooperative problem resolution. Even though Progent's consultants operate with a high level of independence, resource allocation is centralized, client problems and resolutions are meticulously monitored, recorded, and organized for easy reference, up-to-date engineer availability is published to streamline team tasks and simplify problem escalation, and customer approval is always evaluated. We reinforce the feeling of cooperation via periodic workgroup meetings and quarterly company-wide events.

Most of our team is situated across California, however Progent is building a rapidly growing team of network experts throughout the United States. Our virtual office environment eliminates geographic boundaries that limit the productivity of traditional business structures. We complete the deal by offering a full employee care program to promote the health and economic security of our employees and their families.

Not only do we have world-class consulting professionals, our sales and administration groups match the high standards that is Progent. These high-performance contributors to our growth are enabling us to identify and sign up the scores of new customers we are now engaging each month. Progent recently marked the delivery of services to our 1,000th customer. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why we are also a strong sales organization.

Having a passion for technical proficiency is a cornerstone for success with us. A career in consulting will push you to enhance your skills more than you would in any other job in information technology. Being exposed to a steady stream of technical challenges is what keeps professional support exciting. Customers rely on consultants to do the “hard stuff.” Innovative projects, leading-edge deployments, puzzling or chronic issues, and difficult migrations are the basis for what we do daily. With us, you will not stall or be narrowly defined, as is all too common for network professionals in traditional corporate roles. You will awake every morning excited about the opportunities to come.

On the way, you will meet some great people, both by building close client relationships and by working in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will learn from and contribute to their success. Of course, technology is important, but we are a relationship-focused company from top to bottom. If you do not have excellent people skills or like working with a varied group of people, then Progent is in all likelihood a poor match.

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