More Information Concerning Work with Us

Staff Work for Network Engineers, Desktop Support Technicians,
Security Consultants, and Remote Support Professionals
Progent wants to find staff-level, solutions-oriented Microsoft accredited consultants with Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer credentials; Cisco certified system consultants who have Cisco certification; security professionals who have CISM or equivalent security credentials; and advanced network architecture experts with experience in mobile solutions, wireless networking, high uptime, business continuity, data preservation, and server virtualization. Progent also is looking for employees to join our staff of help desk service technicians and off-site support professionals. In addition, We are looking for experienced administrators who can perform effectively in our high-growth, virtual office environment.

By maintaining a team of skilled and dedicated consultants, delivering attentive client care, and offering a competitive value-based fee structure, Progent has been able to expand our client base rapidly while providing professional services to numerous companies in the San Francisco area and across the U.S. An advanced virtual office environment, a common knowledge database, and a group approach to problem resolution have helped Progent to maintain a skilled staff and a satisfied client base.

For an information technology professional with technical support experience, teaming with Progent or helping Progent's clients can enhance your skills through cooperation with our staff of highly team-oriented, talented consultants. Our commitment to providing information technology consulting and technical help to small and midsize organizations will offer you the opportunity to collaborate closely with key players and add appreciably to the success of dynamic companies.

Progent is looking for technical professionals who can show verifiable certification in their special focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you must have your Microsoft MCSE credential. In the case of Cisco professionals, have your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or Cisco Certified Network Professional certificate. For security, you should have earned you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, Certified Information Systems Auditor, Certified Information Security Manager, or other top security certifications. Of course, Progent is familiar with "paper experts". Notwithstanding, simply because a certificate can not guarantee expertise is no reason for not earning one. If you know your field, then most of these tests should pose no challenge. The point is that if you are an expert, then clients deserve to see certifications. We will market your skills, but you should provide basic credentials for us to work with. In case you stand adamantly opposed to the concept of credentials, we can understand and honor your opinion, but you are likely not a good candidate.

Improve Your Skills with the Best Technology and
Working with the Top Team of Computer Engineers
Progent's company culture will make you a better consulting professional by improving your technical skills and boosting the satisfaction of your clients. Progent delivers on this promise by recruiting the best professional talent for you to operate with, offering an advanced network and communications infrastructure, using proprietary application tools to enable the highest level of service, and by streamlining proven operational models for attracting and keeping clients.

The most important factor that differentiates Progent from ordinary consulting companies is the high quality of our consulting team. Among the 50 or so consultants who have joined Progent, we have recruited top talent covering a broad array of technical areas. Be it Microsoft servers, Cisco firewalls, network security, Mac, Linux/UNIX, virtual servers, or other crucial areas, we deploy professionals who can enable you to be successful on larger projects by leveraging the aggregate skills of Progent's group of experts.

To ensure the success of our consultants, we invest significantly in making available the most powerful technology to do the work efficiently. We will leverage information technology to an impressive extent and our advanced virtual office infrastructure allows effortless communications, cooperation, and knowledge exchange with fellow Progent consultants — all from at-home or on-the-road offices. Consultants don’t throw away time or forfeit income with regular drives to a conventional office building, and all driving you do for in-person customer jobs is determined by your own time table, not Progent's. The best benefit is that most of our support work can be done off-site, offering maximum productivity for income-producing time. In practice, some of our staff do remote consulting only.

Progent's operations are set up for responding quickly and efficiently to client needs through knowledge sharing and collaborative problem resolution. Even though our consultants work with a great deal of independence, resource allocation is centralized, client issues and solutions are carefully monitored, recorded, and organized for easy retrieval, up-to-date engineer schedules are broadcast to streamline group projects and enable trouble escalation, and customer approval is always evaluated. We strengthen the feeling of cooperation via monthly team conferences and quarterly company-wide events.

The majority of Progent's team is situated throughout California, but Progent is attracting a rapidly expanding team of network professionals from across the U.S. Our virtual office environment does away with geographic boundaries that restrict the efficiency of conventional business models. We enhance the deal by offering a comprehensive benefit plan to ensure the physical health and economic welfare of our employees and their families.

Not only do we have world-class consultants, Progent's marketing and operations teams match the excellence that is Progent. These top-notch factors behind Progent’s success are helping us to target and land the 50-60 new clients we are now acquiring every month. Progent recently marked the delivery of support to our 1,000th client. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why we are also an effective marketing organization.

Possessing a commitment to technical excellence is a cornerstone for success with us. A career in consulting will drive you to learn more than is possible in any other position in network technology. Being confronted by a continual stream of network challenges is what keeps professional support interesting. Clients choose a consultant to do the toughest jobs. Innovative tasks, advanced implementations, puzzling or chronic issues, and tricky migrations are the basis for our services daily. At Progent, you will not stagnate or be pigeonholed, as is all too typical for computer professionals in ordinary corporate jobs. You will awake every day enthusiastic about the challenges to come.

On the way, you will work with some wonderful folks, both by establishing close customer relationships and by operating in conjunction with other Progent consultants, where you will learn from and add to their success. Of course, technology is vital, but we are a relationship-oriented company from top to bottom. If you don’t have strong communications skills or enjoy working with a diverse assortment of personalities, then we are probably not a good fit.

If all this sounds good to you, we urge you to contact us about our view of the future of network consulting.
