Additional Facts Concerning Work at Progent

Career Work for Network Engineers, Desktop Service Specialists,
Security Consultants, and Online Support Professionals
Progent is seeking to hire staff-level, results-driven Microsoft certified engineers with Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer credentials; Cisco accredited network engineers who have Cisco CCIE or CCNP certification; security consultants with CISSP, CISM, or CISA or comparable security certification; and advanced network design experts with a background in mobile access, wireless connectivity, fault tolerance, disaster recovery, data protection, and VMware. Progent also is hiring professionals to work on our staff of desktop support specialists and remote support professionals. In addition, Progent is hiring talented managers who can perform effectively in our high-growth, virtual office environment.

By maintaining a team of talented and motivated consultants, delivering attentive customer services, and offering a strong results-based fee model, Progent has managed to expand our client list rapidly while providing professional services to hundreds of companies in the San Francisco area and throughout the United States. A sophisticated virtual office network, a common information base, and a group strategy for problem resolution have helped Progent to maintain a talented consulting team and a loyal client base.

For an information technology consultant with technical support expertise, teaming with Progent or working for Progent's clients will enhance your knowledge through interaction with Progent's group of highly team-oriented, expert consultants. Our focus on delivering information technology expertise and computer help to small organizations will offer you the opportunity to work intimately with key players and contribute significantly to the success of exciting businesses.

Progent is hiring technical professionals that have verifiable credentials related to their technical expertise. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you must have your MCSE certificate. In the case of Cisco professionals, have your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or Cisco Certified Network Professional credential. For network security, you should have you CISSP, Certified Information Systems Auditor, CISM, or other leading security certifications. Naturally, we are aware of "paper experts". Still, simply because a credential can not ensure excellence is no justification for not earning one. If you have mastered your stuff, then most of those tests should be no great difficulty. The point is that if you are an expert, then customers deserve to see credentials. We will broadcast your skills, but you need to have basic certifications for us to work with. If you are strongly against the idea of credentials, we can understand and honor your opinion, but you are probably not an appropriate candidate.

Windows, Apple OS, Linux, and Sun Technology

    Enhance Your Abilities with Advanced Technology and
    Working with the Top Group of Computer Consultants
    Progent's company culture will allow you to become a better consultant by improving your information technology skills and boosting the satisfaction of your customers. Progent delivers on this commitment by attracting the top consulting experts for you to work with, providing a state-of-the-art system infrastructure, using proprietary software utilities to enable the maximum quality of service, and by optimizing proven operational models for attracting and retaining customers.

    The most important factor that distinguishes us from most consulting firms is the quality of our service staff. Out of the scores of consultants who have teamed with us, we have recruited top expertise covering a wide array of technical areas. Be it Microsoft servers, Cisco firewalls, corporate security, Mac, Linux/UNIX, virtual servers, or other key areas, we engage experts who can enable you to be effective on larger jobs by combining the aggregate experience of Progent's group of experts.

    To ensure the productivity of Progent's team, we invest heavily in making available the best tools to do the work efficiently. We will leverage information technology to an extraordinary extent and our advanced virtual office environment enables seamless connectivity, cooperation, and information sharing with fellow Progent team members — all from home-based or mobile offices. You don’t waste time or forfeit revenue with regular drives to a conventional office, and all driving you do for on-site customer work is determined by your schedule, not ours. The best part is that most of Progent's support work can be done remotely, offering maximum efficiency for income-producing hours. In practice, some Progent team members do off-site consulting exclusively.

    Progent's operations are set up for responding quickly and efficiently to customer requirements via knowledge sharing and cooperative problem solving. Even though Progent's consultants operate with a great deal of freedom, resource allocation is unified, customer problems and solutions are carefully tracked, documented, and organized for easy reference, current consultant schedules are broadcast to streamline team projects and simplify trouble escalation, and client approval is continually monitored. We reinforce the sense of cooperation through periodic workgroup meetings and quarterly company-wide events.

    The majority of our team is located throughout Northern California, but Progent is building a quickly expanding group of network experts from across the United States. Our virtual office infrastructure does away with geographic obstacles that limit the efficiency of traditional company structures. We complete the package by offering a comprehensive benefit plan to promote the health and financial security of our employees and their families.

    Just as we have world-class consulting professionals, our marketing and administration groups live up to the excellence that is Progent. These high-performance contributors to our growth are enabling us to target and land the scores of new customers we are currently acquiring each month. Progent lately marked the delivery of services to our 1,000th client. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why we are also a strong marketing organization.

    Possessing a commitment to technical excellence is a key for growth with us. A career in consulting will drive you to enhance your skills more than is possible in any other job in information technology. Being exposed to a continual stream of network challenges is what keeps consulting exciting. Clients choose consultants to do the “hard stuff.” Creative projects, advanced implementations, vexing or entrenched problems, and tricky migrations are the basis for our services every day. At Progent, you will not stall or be narrowly defined, as is all too typical for network engineers in ordinary corporate roles. You will awake every day excited about the challenges to come.

    Along the way, you will meet some great people, both by building close customer contacts and by working in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and contribute to their success. Yes, technology is important, but we are a relationship-oriented company heart and soul. If you don’t have strong people skills or like working with a diverse group of people, then we are probably a poor match.

    If all this seems good to you, we invite you to talk to us about our vision of the new paradigm of network consulting.

    Enjoy Quality of Life Improvements and Technical Success with
    Progent's Advanced Virtual Office Infrastructure
    Progent is convinced that a carefully architected and implemented information system can be a crucial piece for enabling a company's success, and we apply this philosophy in our corporate system environment.
