Additional Facts Concerning Opportunities at Progent

Fulltime Jobs for Network Consultants, Computer Support Specialists,
Security Consultants, and Remote Help Technicians
Progent wants to find full-time, results-oriented Microsoft accredited engineers with MCSE or MCP certification; Cisco accredited network engineers with Cisco CCIE, CCNP, or CCNA credentials; security professionals who have CISSP or comparable security credentials; and high-end system architecture consultants with experience in mobile access, wireless networking, fault tolerance, business continuity, data preservation, and server virtualization. Progent also is looking for employees who can join our team of help desk service technicians and remote support experts. In addition, Progent is looking for talented administrators able to perform effectively in Progent's fast-paced, virtual office environment.

By maintaining a team of skilled and dedicated consultants, providing world-class customer care, and offering a strong results-based pricing structure, Progent has managed to expand our client list dramatically while providing consulting services to numerous businesses in Northern California and throughout the U.S. An advanced virtual office network, a shared knowledge database, and a group strategy for problem solving have allowed Progent to retain a skilled staff and a loyal client base.

If you are an information technology professional with troubleshooting experience, joining Progent or working for Progent's customers will enhance your knowledge via interaction with Progent's group of highly supportive, talented consultants. Our focus on providing network consulting and computer support to small and midsize companies will give you the opportunity to work intimately with key players and contribute significantly to the growth of exciting companies.

Progent is looking for consultants who have recognized certification in their special focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft expert, you should have earned your MCSE certificate. In the case of Cisco consultants, have your CCIE or CCNP credential. For network security, you should show you CISSP, Certified Information Systems Auditor, Certified Information Security Manager, or other top security certifications. Naturally, Progent is familiar with “paper MCSEs.” Still, simply because a credential does not ensure excellence is no reason for not earning one. If you have mastered your field, then most of these tests should be no great difficulty. The bottom line is that if you are a professional, then clients deserve to see credentials. Progent can broadcast your talents, but you need to provide basic certifications for us to work with. In case you stand strongly against the concept of certifications, Progent can understand and honor your opinion, but you are probably not an appropriate fit.

    Improve Your Abilities with Advanced Technology and
    Joining the Top Group of Network Engineers
    Progent's company culture will make you a more capable consultant by improving your information technology skills and increasing the loyalty of your clients. Progent makes good on this commitment by attracting the best consulting talent for you to operate with, providing a state-of-the-art system infrastructure, running specialized software utilities to deliver the highest level of service, and by streamlining our operational models for finding and retaining clients.

    The decisive factor that differentiates us from other network support companies is the quality of our support professionals. Out of the 50 or so consulting experts who have joined us, we have recruited top talent across a wide array of technical areas. Be it Microsoft Windows, Cisco switches, corporate security, Apple, Linux, VMware, or other crucial application, we engage professionals who can help you to be successful on larger jobs by leveraging the aggregate skills of Progent's group of professionals.

    To ensure the success of our team, we invest heavily in providing the most powerful tools to perform the job properly. We will exploit information technology to an impressive degree and our advanced virtual office infrastructure allows effortless connectivity, cooperation, and knowledge exchange with fellow Progent consultants — all from home-based or mobile offices. Consultants don’t waste time or lose income because of daily commutes to a conventional office building, and all driving you do for on-site client work is determined by your schedule, not Progent's. The most attractive benefit is that much of our consulting work can be performed off-site, offering 100% productivity for billable hours. In practice, some of our team members do off-site support exclusively.

    Progent's business structure is geared towards reacting rapidly and effectively to client needs via knowledge sharing and cooperative problem solving. Although our engineers work with a great deal of independence, dispatching is centralized, customer issues and solutions are carefully monitored, documented, and archived for easy reference, up-to-date engineer schedules are broadcast to facilitate group tasks and enable trouble escalation, and client approval is always evaluated. We strengthen the sense of connection via periodic workgroup meetings and quarterly corporate events.

    The majority of Progent's consultants are situated throughout Northern California, but Progent is attracting a quickly growing group of consulting professionals throughout America. Our virtual office environment does away with geographic boundaries that limit the productivity of traditional business models. We complete the deal by offering a full employee care program to promote the physical health and financial welfare of our employees and their relations.

    Not only do we have awesome consulting professionals, our marketing and administration teams match the excellence that defines Progent. These high-performance factors behind Progent’s success are enabling us to target and sign up the 50-60 new clients we are currently engaging every month. We lately marked the providing of services to our 1,000th client. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why Progent is also an effective sales operation.

    Possessing a commitment to technical proficiency is a key for success with us. A job in consulting will push you to learn more than is possible in any other position in information technology. Being confronted by a continual stream of network challenges is what keeps professional support interesting. Clients choose consulting firms to perform the “hard stuff.” Innovative projects, leading-edge implementations, puzzling or chronic problems, and tricky upgrades 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 traditional corporate roles. You will wake up every day enthusiastic about the opportunities ahead.

    Along the way, you will work with some great people, both by establishing close client contacts and by working in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and contribute to their success. Yes, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-oriented organization heart and soul. If you do not offer strong people skills or like working with a diverse group of people, then we are in all likelihood a poor match.

    If this seems right for you, we invite you to contact Progent about our view of the future of information technology consulting.
