Details Concerning Work at Progent

Career Work for Network Engineers, Computer Support Specialists,
Security Consultants, and Online Help Technicians
Progent wants to find fulltime, solutions-driven Microsoft accredited engineers with MCSE or MCP certification; Cisco certified system engineers with Cisco CCIE credentials; security consultants with CISM or equivalent security certification; and high-end system architecture experts with experience in mobile access, wireless connectivity, fault tolerance, business continuity, information protection, and server virtualization. Progent also seeks professionals who can work on Progent's team of helpdesk support specialists and off-site support professionals. Also, Progent is seeking talented managers who can operate productively in our fast-paced, virtual office environment.

By supporting a staff of skilled and motivated consultants, providing attentive customer care, and following a competitive results-focused pricing model, Progent has managed to increase our customer list rapidly while providing professional services to hundreds of businesses in the San Francisco area and across the United States. An advanced virtual office network, a shared knowledge database, and a group approach to problem resolution have allowed Progent to maintain a skilled consulting team and a loyal customer list.

If you are a network consultant with troubleshooting experience, joining Progent or helping Progent's clients will enhance your knowledge through cooperation with our staff of highly team-oriented, talented engineers. Progent's commitment to delivering information technology consulting and computer help to small organizations will give you the chance to collaborate intimately with decision makers and add appreciably to the growth of exciting businesses.

We are hiring technical professionals that can show recognized certification related to their technical expertise. So, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you must have earned your Microsoft MCSE credential. For Cisco professionals, have your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or CCNP credential. For network security, you should have earned you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, CISA, CISM, or one of the other leading security credentials. Of course, we are familiar with “paper MCSEs.” Notwithstanding, simply because a credential does not ensure excellence is no reason for not owning one. If you have mastered your field, then most of these tests should be no great difficulty. The crux of the matter is that if you are an expert, then customers deserve to see certifications. We will promote your skills, but you need to provide a baseline of certifications for us to market. If you happen to be strongly opposed to the concept of credentials, Progent can understand and respect your opinion, but you are probably not an appropriate candidate.

Enhance Your Abilities with Advanced Technology and
Working with the Top Group of Computer Engineers
Progent's productive atmosphere will allow you to become a more capable consulting professional by improving your information technology knowledge and boosting the satisfaction of your clients. Progent makes good on this promise by recruiting the top consulting experts for you to work with, providing a state-of-the-art system infrastructure, using proprietary application tools to enable the highest level of service, and by streamlining proven business models for attracting and retaining clients.

The most important factor that distinguishes us from other network support companies is the excellence of our service staff. Among the scores of consultants who have teamed with Progent, we have recruited the best talent across a broad array of technologies. Whether it's Microsoft Windows, Cisco switches, network security, Mac, Linux, virtual servers, or other crucial areas, we engage experts who can enable you to be effective on major projects by leveraging the collective experience of Progent's group of experts.

To ensure the success of our consultants, we invest heavily in making available the most powerful technology to perform the job efficiently. Progent will exploit information technology to an impressive extent and our advanced virtual office infrastructure enables seamless connectivity, collaboration, and knowledge exchange with other Progent consultants — all from home-based or mobile offices. You don't waste time or forfeit income because of daily drives to a physical office building, and any driving you do for on-site customer work is based on your time table, not ours. The best benefit is that much of Progent's consulting work can be done remotely, representing 100% efficiency for billable hours. In fact, some Progent team members do off-site support exclusively.

Our operations are geared towards responding quickly and efficiently to customer needs via information sharing and collaborative problem solving. Even though our engineers operate with a great deal of freedom, dispatching is unified, client issues and solutions are carefully monitored, documented, and organized for convenient reference, current consultant availability is broadcast to streamline group tasks and enable trouble escalation, and customer approval is continually monitored. We reinforce the feeling of connection through periodic team conferences and quarterly corporate events.

The majority of our consultants are situated across California, but we are building a quickly growing group of network experts throughout America. Our virtual office infrastructure eliminates regional boundaries that restrict the productivity of traditional company models. We complete the package by providing a comprehensive benefit plan to promote the health and economic security of our employees and their relations.

Not only do we have world-class consulting professionals, our sales and administration groups match the high standards that is Progent. These high-performance factors behind our success are enabling us to target and sign up the scores of new clients we are currently acquiring every 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 sales operation.

Having a commitment to technical proficiency is a cornerstone for success with us. A job in consulting will push you to learn more than you would in any other job in network technology. Being exposed to a continual stream of network challenges is what keeps consulting exciting. Clients rely on consultants to do the toughest jobs. Creative tasks, leading-edge deployments, vexing or chronic problems, and difficult migrations are the foundation for what we do every day. At Progent, you will not stall or be narrowly defined, as is all too typical for computer engineers in traditional corporate jobs. You will wake up every day enthusiastic about the opportunities to come.

Along the way, you will work with some wonderful people, both by establishing strong customer contacts and by working in conjunction with other Progent consultants, where you will learn from and add to their success. Yes, technology is important, but we are a relationship-focused organization heart and soul. If you do not offer excellent people skills or enjoy cooperating with a varied group of people, then we are in all likelihood not a good fit.

If all this sounds right for you, we urge you to talk to us about our view of the new paradigm of information technology consulting.
