Additional Facts About Opportunities at Progent

Staff Jobs for Network Engineers, Computer Support Specialists,
Security Consultants, and Online Support Technicians
Progent wants to hire full-time, solutions-driven Microsoft accredited consultants with Microsoft MCSE certification; Cisco accredited system engineers with Cisco CCIE, CCNP, or CCNA credentials; security professionals who have CISSP or comparable security credentials; and advanced system architecture experts with a background in mobile solutions, wireless connectivity, high uptime, disaster recovery, information protection, and virtual servers. Progent also seeks employees who can work on Progent's staff of desktop service specialists and off-site troubleshooting professionals. Also, We are hiring talented managers who can operate effectively in our fast-paced, virtual office culture.

By maintaining a staff of skilled and motivated consultants, delivering world-class client care, and following a strong results-based fee model, Progent has managed to expand our client base dramatically while delivering professional support to numerous companies in the San Francisco area and throughout the United States. A sophisticated virtual office network, a common knowledge base, and a group strategy for problem solving have helped Progent to retain a talented consulting team and a satisfied client base.

For a network professional with technical support expertise, joining Progent or helping our clients will expand your skills via interaction with Progent's staff of highly team-oriented, expert engineers. Our focus on providing network expertise and technical support to small and midsize organizations will give you the chance to collaborate intimately with decision makers and contribute significantly to the growth of dynamic companies.

We are hiring consultants that have verifiable certification related to their technical focus. So, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you must have earned your MCSE credential. In the case of Cisco professionals, have your CCIE or CCNP credential. For security, you should have earned you CISSP, CISA, Certified Information Security Manager, or other top security certifications. Of course, we are aware of “paper MCSEs.” However, simply because a certificate can not guarantee excellence is no excuse for not earning one. If you have mastered your field, then the majority of those certifications should be no great difficulty. The crux of the matter is that if you represent yourself to be an expert, then clients deserve to see certifications. Progent will promote your skills, but you must have a baseline of credentials for Progent to work with. In case you happen to be adamantly opposed to the concept of credentials, Progent can sympathize with and honor your opinion, but you are likely not an appropriate candidate.

Improve Your Abilities with the Best Technology and
Working with a Great Group of Network Consultants
Progent's company culture will make you a better consultant by improving your information technology skills and boosting the satisfaction of your clients. Progent makes good on this promise by recruiting the top professional talent for you to work with, offering a state-of-the-art network and communications architecture, running specialized application tools to enable the maximum quality of service, and by optimizing our business models for finding and maintaining clients.

The main factor that differentiates us from most network support firms is the excellence of our consultants. Out of the 50 or so consulting experts who have teamed with Progent, we have recruited the best talent covering a broad array of technologies. Be it Microsoft Windows, Cisco switches, corporate security, Apple, Linux/UNIX, VMware, or other vital areas, we engage experts who can enable you to be effective on major projects by combining the collective skills of Progent's team of experts.

To ensure the productivity of Progent's consultants, we invest significantly in making available the best technology to perform the work properly. Progent will exploit technology to an extraordinary extent and our advanced virtual office environment allows seamless communications, collaboration, and information sharing with fellow Progent team members — all from home-based or on-the-road offices. Consultants don't throw away time or lose revenue with regular commutes to a physical office building, and all driving you do for on-site client work is based on your own time table, not ours. The best benefit is that much of our consulting services can be performed off-site, offering 100% efficiency for billable time. In practice, some of our staff do off-site support exclusively.

Our business structure is set up for reacting rapidly and effectively to client requirements via knowledge exchange and collaborative problem solving. Although our engineers work with a high level of freedom, dispatching is unified, client problems and solutions are meticulously tracked, documented, and archived for easy reference, up-to-date engineer availability is published to facilitate group tasks and simplify problem escalation, and customer satisfaction is continually evaluated. We strengthen the sense of cooperation via periodic team meetings and regular company-wide events.

Most of our consultants are situated throughout California, but we are building a quickly expanding group of consulting experts from across the United States. Progent's virtual office infrastructure eliminates geographic obstacles that restrict the productivity of traditional company models. We enhance the package by providing a full benefit plan to promote the physical health and economic welfare of our employees and their relations.

Just as we have world-class consultants, our sales and administration teams live up to the high standards that defines Progent. These high-performance contributors to our growth are helping us to target and sign up the scores of new clients we are now engaging each month. We lately celebrated the providing of support to our 1,000th customer. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why Progent is also an effective sales organization.

Having a passion for technical excellence is a key for growth with Progent. A job in consulting will push you to learn more than is possible in any other job in information technology. Being confronted by a steady stream of network challenges is what makes consulting exciting. Clients rely on consulting firms to perform the “hard stuff.” Creative tasks, leading-edge implementations, vexing or chronic issues, and difficult migrations are the basis for what we do daily. At Progent, you will not stall or be narrowly defined, as is sadly common for network engineers in traditional corporate jobs. You will awake every day enthusiastic about the challenges ahead.

Along the way, you will work with some great people, both by establishing strong customer contacts and by operating in conjunction with other Progent consultants, where you will benefit from and contribute to their success. Yes, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-focused organization from top to bottom. If you do not offer strong communications skills or enjoy working with a diverse assortment of personalities, then we are in all likelihood not a good fit.

If this sounds good to you, we invite you to contact Progent about our vision of the future of information technology consulting.
