Additional Facts About Opportunities with Us

Fulltime Work for Network Consultants, Desktop Service Technicians,
Security Experts, and Remote Support Technicians
Progent wants to find staff-level, solutions-driven Microsoft certified engineers with Microsoft MCSE certification; Cisco certified network consultants with Cisco CCIE credentials; security consultants who have CISM or comparable security certification; and high-end network design experts with a background in mobile access, wireless networking, fault tolerance, business continuity, data protection, and VMware. Progent also is looking for employees to work on Progent's staff of helpdesk service specialists and remote support experts. In addition, We are looking for experienced managers who can operate productively in our high-growth, virtual office environment.

By supporting a staff of skilled and motivated professionals, delivering attentive client services, and offering a competitive value-based pricing structure, We have managed to expand our customer base rapidly while providing professional support to hundreds of companies in the San Francisco area and throughout the U.S. An advanced virtual office environment, a common information database, and a team approach to problem solving have allowed Progent to retain a talented staff and a loyal customer base.

If you are an information technology professional with technical support expertise, teaming with Progent or helping our customers can expand your knowledge via interaction with Progent's group of highly supportive, talented engineers. Our commitment to providing network consulting and computer support to small companies will offer you the chance to collaborate closely with key players and add appreciably to the success of dynamic companies.

Progent is looking for technical professionals that can show verifiable credentials related to their special focus. So, if you are a Microsoft expert, you should have earned your Microsoft MCSE credential. In the case of Cisco experts, show us your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or CCNP credential. For security, you should have you CISSP, CISA, CISM, or one of the other leading security credentials. Of course, Progent is familiar with "paper experts". Still, the fact that a certificate can not ensure excellence is no reason for not owning one. If you know your field, then most of those certifications should present no challenge. The bottom line is that if you call yourself a professional, then customers expect certifications. We will market your skills, but you need to provide a baseline of certifications for Progent to market. In case you happen to be adamantly opposed to the idea of credentials, we can understand and honor your position, but you are probably not an appropriate fit.

    Improve Your Abilities with the Best Technology and
    Joining a Great Team of Network Consultants
    Progent's business climate will make you a more capable professional by improving your information technology knowledge and increasing the loyalty of your customers. Progent makes good on this commitment by recruiting the top professional experts for you to operate with, offering an advanced system architecture, running specialized software utilities to deliver the highest level of service, and by streamlining our business models for finding and retaining customers.

    The main factor that distinguishes us from typical network support firms is the high caliber of our consultants. Out of the 50 or so consultants who have joined Progent, we have assembled the best talent covering a broad array of technologies. Be it Microsoft servers, Cisco switches, network security, Apple, Linux/UNIX, VMware, or other key technologies, we deploy experts who can help you to be effective on major jobs by leveraging the collective skills of Progent's group of professionals.

    To promote the success of our consultants, we invest significantly in providing the best tools to perform the job efficiently. Progent will exploit information technology to an extraordinary degree and our advanced virtual office environment enables effortless connectivity, cooperation, and knowledge sharing with fellow Progent consultants — entirely from at-home or mobile offices. Consultants don’t waste time or forfeit revenue with regular commutes to a physical office, and all travel you do for on-site customer work is based on your own schedule, not Progent's. The most attractive benefit is that much of our consulting services can be performed off-site, offering maximum efficiency for billable time. In fact, some of our team members do off-site support only.

    Progent's operations are set up for reacting quickly and efficiently to client needs via information exchange and collaborative problem solving. Although Progent's consultants work with a great deal of freedom, resource allocation is centralized, client problems and resolutions are carefully tracked, recorded, and archived for convenient reference, up-to-date consultant availability is broadcast to streamline group projects and enable trouble escalation, and client satisfaction is continually evaluated. We reinforce the feeling of connection via monthly workgroup meetings and quarterly corporate events.

    Most of Progent's team is situated throughout California, but we are attracting a quickly expanding group of network professionals throughout the U.S. Our virtual office environment eliminates geographic boundaries that limit the efficiency of traditional business models. We complete the deal by offering a comprehensive employee care plan to promote the health and economic security of our team members and their relations.

    Not only do we have world-class consultants, our marketing and administration groups live up to the high standards that characterizes Progent. These top-notch contributors to our success are helping us to target and sign up the 50-60 new customers we are currently engaging every month. We recently celebrated the delivery of services to our 1,000th customer. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why we are also an effective marketing operation.

    Possessing a passion for technical excellence is a key for success with Progent. A job in consulting will push you to enhance your skills more than is possible in any other job in information technology. Being exposed to a continual series of technical challenges is what makes professional support interesting. Clients choose consultants to do the toughest jobs. Creative tasks, advanced deployments, vexing or entrenched issues, and tricky upgrades are the basis for our services daily. At Progent, you will not stagnate or be narrowly defined, as is all too common for network professionals in ordinary corporate roles. You will wake up every morning excited about the opportunities to come.

    On the way, you will work with some wonderful folks, both by establishing close customer contacts and by operating in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and add to their success. Of course, technology is important, but we are a relationship-oriented company from top to bottom. If you don’t offer strong people skills or like working with a diverse group of people, then Progent is in all likelihood not a good fit.

    If all this seems right for you, we urge you to contact us about our view of the future of network consulting.
