What Makes Being a Cisco-certified CCIE So Important?
A CCIE is a world-class networking specialist who achieves this elite recognition by completing rigorous testing supervised by Cisco. A CCIE can tackle even the most sophisticated issues involving computer network integration, repair, and configuration. Progent's CCIE-certified support specialists communicate directly with Cisco's in-house engineers in identifying issues with Cisco IOS utilities and developing workarounds or finding software updates to resolve problems. The vast majority of CCIEs are employed by large corporations or national ISPs, and so their services are not readily available to the general public.

For small and midsize companies anywhere in Louisiana, Progent offers easy, fast, and economical online access to Cisco certified CCIE engineers. Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts (CCIEs) are recognized networking subject matter experts who are awarded this prestigious certification only as a result of strenuous testing by Cisco. CCIEs can handle even the most complex issues associated with network topology, deployment, performance, repair, and service. Progent's CCIE professionals cooperate intimately with Cisco engineers in analyzing problems with Cisco's IOS platform and developing fixes or acquiring software updates to resolve anomalies. Progent offers fast remote response from a CCIE so that you are able to get immediate help for tough network issues that are impacting worker productivity but are outside the scope of your local network support resources. Progent's CCIE consulting experts can access your environment using advanced online support technology to deliver quick and affordable analysis and remediation of critical network problems.
