Progent is looking for consultants that have recognized credentials in their technical expertise. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you must have your Microsoft MCSE certificate. In the case of Cisco consultants, show us your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or CCNP certificate. For network security, you should show you CISSP, CISA, CISM, or one of the other top security certifications. Naturally, Progent is aware of “paper MCSEs.” Nevertheless, the fact that a certificate does not ensure expertise is no reason for not having one. If you have mastered your stuff, then most of those certifications should present no great difficulty. The bottom line is that if you call yourself a professional, then customers expect certifications. We can market your talents, but you should provide standard certifications for Progent to work with. In case you stand strongly against the idea of certifications, we can sympathize with and honor your opinion, but you are likely not a good candidate.

Progent will exploit information technology to an extraordinary extent and our advanced virtual office environment allows effortless connectivity, collaboration, and information sharing with other Progent team members — all from at-home or mobile offices. Consultants don’t throw away time or forfeit revenue because of daily commutes to a physical office building, and all travel you do for in-person customer jobs is based on your schedule, not Progent's. The most attractive benefit is that much of Progent's consulting services can be performed off-site, offering maximum productivity for income-producing hours. In practice, some Progent team members do off-site consulting exclusively.
Progent's business structure is geared towards reacting rapidly and effectively to customer needs via knowledge sharing and cooperative problem resolution. Although Progent's consultants operate with a great deal of independence, dispatching is centralized, customer issues and solutions are meticulously tracked, documented, and organized for convenient reference, up-to-date engineer schedules are published to facilitate team tasks and simplify problem escalation, and client satisfaction is continually evaluated. We reinforce the sense of connection via periodic workgroup meetings and regular corporate events.
The majority of Progent's consultants are located across Northern California, however Progent is attracting a quickly expanding team of network professionals from across the United States. Progent's virtual office infrastructure eliminates geographic obstacles that restrict the productivity of conventional company models.

These high-performance contributors to our growth are helping us to target and sign up the 50-60 new customers we are now acquiring every month. We recently celebrated the delivery of services to our 1,000th client. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why Progent is also a strong sales operation.
Having a passion for technical proficiency is a cornerstone for growth with Progent. A job in consulting will drive you to learn more than you would in any other job in information technology. Being confronted by a continual series of technical challenges is what makes professional support exciting. Customers rely on a consultant to perform the “hard stuff.” Innovative tasks, leading-edge deployments, puzzling or chronic problems, and tricky upgrades are the foundation for what we do every day. With us, you will not stagnate or be narrowly defined, as is sadly common for network professionals in traditional corporate roles. You will awake every morning enthusiastic about the opportunities to come.
Along the way, you will meet some wonderful people, both by building close customer contacts and by working in conjunction with other Progent consultants, where you will learn from and contribute to their growth. Of course, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-focused organization heart and soul. If you do not have strong people skills or like cooperating with a varied assortment of people, then we are probably a poor match.
If this seems right for you, we urge you to contact Progent about our vision of the future of network consulting.
