Additional Facts Concerning Jobs with Us

Fulltime Jobs for Network Consultants, Computer Support Technicians,
Security Consultants, and Remote Help Professionals
Progent wants to hire staff-level, results-oriented Microsoft accredited consultants with Microsoft MCSE, MCSA, or MCP certification; Cisco accredited network consultants with Cisco CCIE or CCNP certification; security consultants who have CISSP, CISM, or CISA or comparable security certification; and high-end network design consultants with a background in mobile access, wireless connectivity, fault tolerance, disaster recovery, information protection, and VMware. Progent also is looking for professionals to work on Progent's staff of desktop support specialists and off-site support professionals. Also, Progent is hiring talented managers who can perform effectively in our fast-paced, virtual office environment.

By supporting a staff of talented and dedicated consultants, providing world-class customer services, and following a strong results-based pricing model, Progent has been able to increase our client list rapidly while providing professional support to numerous businesses in the San Francisco area and throughout the United States. A sophisticated virtual office network, a common information base, and a team strategy for problem resolution have helped Progent to retain a skilled consulting team and a satisfied customer base.

For a network professional with troubleshooting expertise, teaming with Progent or helping Progent's customers will expand your skills via interaction with Progent's staff of mutually team-oriented, talented engineers. Our commitment to delivering network consulting and technical help to small and midsize companies will give you the opportunity to work closely with decision makers and add appreciably to the growth of exciting companies.

We are looking for technical professionals that have verifiable certification related to their special expertise. For example, if you are a Microsoft expert, you must have your MCSE credential. For Cisco experts, have your CCIE or Cisco Certified Network Professional credential. For security, you should have you CISSP, CISA, CISM, or one of the other top security credentials. Of course, Progent is aware of "paper experts". However, simply because a credential does not ensure excellence is no reason for not having one. If you have mastered your field, then most of those tests should pose no great difficulty. The point is that if you are an expert, then customers deserve to see credentials. We can promote your talents, but you must have standard certifications for Progent to market. If you stand adamantly against the concept of credentials, Progent can sympathize with and honor your position, but you are likely not an appropriate fit.

    Enhance Your Abilities with the Best Technology and
    Working with the Top Group of Computer Consultants
    Progent's productive atmosphere will allow you to become a better consulting professional by enhancing your information technology skills and boosting the loyalty of your customers. Progent makes good on this promise by attracting the best professional talent for you to operate with, providing a state-of-the-art network and communications infrastructure, using specialized software utilities to deliver the maximum level of support, and by optimizing our operational models for attracting and maintaining clients.

    The decisive factor that distinguishes Progent from most network support companies is the quality of our consultants. Among the scores of consulting experts who have teamed with us, we have assembled top talent covering a wide range of technologies. Whether it’s Microsoft servers, Cisco firewalls, network security, Mac, Linux, server virtualization, or other vital areas, we deploy experts who can enable you to be successful on larger jobs by combining the aggregate skills of our team of experts.

    To promote the productivity of our team, we invest heavily in making available the best technology to perform the job efficiently. Progent will leverage information technology to an impressive degree and our advanced virtual office infrastructure enables seamless connectivity, cooperation, and information exchange with other Progent team members — all from home-based or mobile offices. Consultants don’t waste time or lose income because of regular drives to a physical office building, and all driving you do for on-site customer jobs is determined by your own schedule, not Progent's. The best part is that most of Progent's support services can be done remotely, offering maximum efficiency for billable hours. In practice, some of our team members do remote consulting only.

    Progent's business structure is set up for reacting rapidly and effectively to customer requirements through information sharing and cooperative problem resolution. Even though Progent's engineers work with a high level of independence, resource allocation is unified, client issues and resolutions are meticulously monitored, recorded, and archived for easy reference, current consultant availability is broadcast to facilitate team projects and simplify problem escalation, and customer approval is continually monitored. We strengthen the feeling of connection through periodic team meetings and regular company-wide events.

    Most of Progent's consultants are situated throughout Northern California, however Progent is building a rapidly expanding team of network professionals throughout America. Progent's virtual office environment does away with geographic boundaries that restrict the productivity of conventional company structures. We enhance the deal by providing a full employee care plan to ensure the physical health and financial welfare of our team members and their relations.

    Just as we have awesome consulting professionals, our marketing and operations groups match the excellence that defines Progent. These top-notch factors behind Progent’s success are enabling us to target and sign up the 50-60 new customers we are currently acquiring each month. Progent recently marked the delivery of support to our 1,000th client. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why we are also an effective sales operation.

    Having a passion for technical proficiency is a key for success with Progent. A job in consulting will push you to enhance your skills more than you would in any other position in network technology. Being exposed to a continual stream of technical challenges is what keeps professional support exciting. Customers choose consultants to do the toughest jobs. Creative projects, leading-edge implementations, puzzling or chronic issues, and tricky migrations are the basis for what we do daily. At Progent, you will not stall or be pigeonholed, as is sadly typical for network professionals in traditional corporate jobs. You will wake up every morning excited about the opportunities ahead.

    Along the way, you will work with some great people, both by building strong client relationships and by working closely with other Progent consultants, where you will learn from and add to their growth. Of course, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-oriented organization through and through. If you do not have excellent people skills or enjoy cooperating with a varied group of people, then Progent is in all likelihood a poor fit.

    If this sounds right for you, we invite you to contact us about our vision of the future of information technology consulting.
