  • Certified Cisco Infrastructure Engineers
    The CCIE credential is the top recognition for network engineers, and certifies an individual's technical skills at the master level. CCIEs can resolve even the most difficult issues surrounding network design, integration, management, protection, and repair. CCIEs work with the highest priority with Cisco's in-house engineers in isolating anomalies with IOS Software network administration utilities and coming up with alternate approaches or installing software updates to correct problems. CCIEs represent an exceptional value because their deep experience allows them to solve the most complex problems rapidly. In many instances, less qualified engineers can struggle with identical problems for many hours or days.

    Progent is one of the rare consulting firms that makes CCIEs available to support small and mid-size businesses. Progent can provide quick contact with a CCIE by phone so that you can receive timely help for urgent network issues that are hurting worker productivity but are beyond the experience of your local network support resources. Progent's CCIE engineers can tie into your environment via the latest remote support tools in order to perform fast and affordable diagnosis and repair of urgent system trouble.
