Career Work for Network Engineers, Computer Support Specialists,
Security Experts, and Online Support Professionals
Progent is seeking to find full-time, solutions-driven Microsoft accredited engineers with Microsoft MCSE, MCSA, or MCP credentials; Cisco accredited system engineers with Cisco CCIE, CCNP, or CCNA credentials; security professionals who have CISSP or comparable security credentials; and high-end network design experts with a background in mobile solutions, wireless networking, high uptime, workplace recovery, data protection, and server virtualization. Progent also is looking for professionals who can join our staff of helpdesk support specialists and off-site troubleshooting professionals. In addition, Progent is looking for experienced administrators able to perform productively in our fast-paced, virtual office environment.

By supporting a staff of skilled and dedicated professionals, delivering world-class client care, and following a competitive value-focused pricing structure, Progent has been able to increase our client base rapidly while providing professional support to numerous businesses in the San Francisco area and throughout the United States. An advanced virtual office network, a shared information base, and a group strategy for problem solving have helped Progent to retain a skilled consulting team and a satisfied client list.

If you are an information technology professional with technical support expertise, teaming with Progent or working for our clients will enhance your skills through interaction with our staff of mutually supportive, talented consultants. Our focus on providing information technology expertise and technical support to small and midsize organizations will offer you the opportunity to collaborate closely with key players and add significantly to the success of exciting companies.

Progent is hiring technical professionals who can show verifiable credentials in their special expertise. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you should have your Microsoft MCSE credential. In the case of Cisco professionals, have your CCIE or CCNP certificate. For network security, you should have you CISSP, Certified Information Systems Auditor, CISM, or other top security credentials. Naturally, we are familiar with "paper experts". However, simply because a certificate does not ensure expertise is no excuse for not having one. If you know your stuff, then most of those certifications should present no great difficulty. The bottom line is that if you represent yourself to be an expert, then clients expect certifications. We can broadcast your talents, but you need to have a baseline of certifications for Progent to work with. If you are adamantly opposed to the concept of certifications, we can sympathize with and respect your position, but you are probably not an appropriate fit.

Working with the Top Team of Computer Consultants

Progent makes good on this commitment by recruiting the best consulting experts for you to operate with, providing a state-of-the-art system infrastructure, using proprietary application tools to enable the highest level of support, and by optimizing our operational models for attracting and retaining customers.

The decisive factor that separates us from ordinary network support companies is the high quality of our consultants. Out of the 50 or so consultants who have teamed with Progent, we have recruited the best talent across a wide range of technologies. Whether it's Microsoft servers, Cisco firewalls, corporate security, Apple, Linux, virtual servers, or other key areas, we deploy experts who can enable you to be effective on larger projects by combining the aggregate skills of our team of professionals.

To promote the success of Progent's team, we invest significantly in providing the most powerful tools to perform the job efficiently. We will leverage technology to an impressive extent and our advanced virtual office environment enables effortless connectivity, collaboration, and information sharing with other Progent consultants — entirely from home-based or on-the-road offices. Consultants don't waste time or lose revenue because of regular drives to a physical office, and any travel you do for in-person client work is determined by your own schedule, not ours. The most attractive part is that much of our consulting work can be done remotely, representing maximum productivity for billable hours. In fact, some of our team members do remote consulting exclusively.

Progent's operations are geared towards reacting rapidly and efficiently to customer needs via information exchange and collaborative problem resolution. Although Progent's engineers work with a high level of freedom, resource allocation is unified, client issues and resolutions are carefully tracked, documented, and archived for convenient reference, current engineer availability is broadcast to facilitate group projects and simplify trouble escalation, and customer satisfaction is always evaluated. We strengthen the sense of connection through periodic team meetings and regular corporate events.

The majority of our team is located throughout California, however we are attracting a quickly growing team of network experts from across the U.S. Progent's virtual office infrastructure does away with regional boundaries that restrict the efficiency of conventional business structures. We enhance the deal by offering a comprehensive benefit plan to promote the health and economic welfare of our team members and their families.

Not only do we have world-class consulting professionals, Progent's sales and administration groups live up to the high standards that is Progent. These top-notch contributors to our growth are enabling us to target and sign up the 50-60 new customers we are currently engaging every month. We recently marked the delivery of services to our 1,000th customer. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why Progent is also an effective marketing operation.

Possessing a passion for technical excellence is a cornerstone for success with Progent. A job in consulting will drive you to learn more than is possible in any other position in information technology. Being exposed to a continual stream of network challenges is what makes consulting interesting. Customers rely on consulting firms to do the toughest jobs. Innovative tasks, leading-edge deployments, vexing or chronic problems, and tricky upgrades are the foundation for what we do every day. With us, you will not stall or be narrowly defined, as is sadly common for computer professionals in traditional corporate roles. You will awake every day enthusiastic about the challenges ahead.

Along the way, you will meet some great people, both by establishing close customer contacts and by operating in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will learn from and contribute to their success. Of course, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-oriented organization from top to bottom. If you do not offer excellent communications skills or enjoy cooperating with a varied assortment of people, then we are in all likelihood not a good match.

If all this sounds right for you, we invite you to contact Progent about our vision of the new paradigm of information technology consulting.
