Career Jobs for Network Consultants, Computer Support Technicians,
Security Consultants, and Remote Help Professionals
Progent is seeking to find full-time, solutions-oriented Microsoft certified engineers with Microsoft MCSE, MCSA, or MCP certification; Cisco accredited system engineers with Cisco certification; security professionals who have CISSP, CISM, or CISA or equivalent security certification; and advanced network design consultants with experience in mobile solutions, wireless connectivity, service continuity, disaster recovery, data protection, and VMware. Progent also is looking for professionals to work on Progent's team of desktop support specialists and off-site troubleshooting professionals. In addition, We are hiring experienced managers who can operate effectively in our high-growth, virtual office culture.

By supporting a staff of skilled and motivated professionals, delivering world-class client services, and offering a strong value-focused pricing model, Progent has been able to increase our customer list rapidly while providing professional support to numerous businesses in the San Francisco area and across the U.S. A sophisticated virtual office network, a shared information database, and a group strategy for problem solving have helped Progent to maintain a talented staff and a loyal customer base.

For a network professional with technical support expertise, teaming with Progent or working for Progent's clients can enhance your knowledge through cooperation with Progent's staff of mutually supportive, expert engineers. Our focus on delivering network consulting and technical support to small and midsize companies will give you the opportunity to work closely with decision makers and add significantly to the success of dynamic businesses.

Progent is hiring consultants that have verifiable certification related to their special focus. So, if you are a Microsoft expert, you must have your Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer credential. In the case of Cisco experts, show us your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or CCNP certificate. For network security, you should have earned you CISSP, CISA, CISM, or one of the other top security certifications. Of course, we are familiar with "paper experts". Notwithstanding, simply because a credential can not guarantee expertise is no justification for not owning one. If you have mastered your field, then the majority of those tests should present no challenge. The crux of the matter is that if you call yourself a professional, then customers expect certifications. Progent will market your skills, but you should have a baseline of certifications for Progent to work with. If you are adamantly against the concept of certifications, Progent can understand and honor your position, but you are probably not a good fit.

Joining the Top Group of Computer Consultants
Progent's business climate will make you a more capable consulting professional by enhancing your information technology knowledge and boosting the loyalty of your customers. Progent delivers on this commitment by attracting the top consulting experts for you to operate with, offering a state-of-the-art system infrastructure, running proprietary software utilities to deliver the highest level of service, and by optimizing our operational structures for attracting and retaining customers.

The main factor that differentiates us from other network support companies is the quality of our service staff. Among the 50 or so consulting experts who have joined us, we have recruited the best expertise across a wide array of technical areas. Whether it’s Microsoft servers, Cisco firewalls, corporate security, Mac, Linux, virtual servers, or other key application, we engage experts who can enable you to be successful on major projects by leveraging the collective skills of Progent's team of experts.

To promote the productivity of Progent's team, we invest heavily in providing the most powerful tools to do the job properly. Progent will leverage technology to an extraordinary degree and our advanced virtual office infrastructure allows effortless communications, collaboration, and information exchange with other Progent consultants — entirely from at-home or mobile offices. Consultants don’t waste time or lose revenue with daily drives to a conventional office building, and any driving you do for on-site client jobs is determined by your own time table, not ours. The best part is that most of our support work can be performed remotely, offering 100% efficiency for income-producing time. In fact, some of our staff do off-site consulting exclusively.

Our operations are geared towards responding rapidly and efficiently to customer requirements via knowledge exchange and collaborative problem solving. Although our consultants work with a great deal of freedom, dispatching is centralized, client issues and solutions are carefully tracked, documented, and organized for easy retrieval, current consultant availability is broadcast to facilitate team projects and enable trouble escalation, and client satisfaction is continually evaluated. We strengthen the sense of connection via periodic team conferences and regular company-wide events.

Most of Progent's consultants are located throughout California, however we are attracting a rapidly growing team of consulting professionals from across the United States. Progent's virtual office environment does away with geographic boundaries that restrict the productivity of traditional business structures. We enhance the deal by offering a comprehensive employee care program to ensure the physical health and economic security of our team members and their families.

Not only do we have awesome consulting professionals, Progent's marketing and operations teams match the excellence that defines Progent. These high-performance factors behind our success are helping us to identify and land the scores of new clients we are now acquiring every month. We lately celebrated the providing of support to our 1,000th customer. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why Progent is also a strong marketing operation.

Having a passion for technical excellence is a key for success with us. A career in consulting will drive you to enhance your skills more than you would in any other position in information technology. Being exposed to a continual stream of network challenges is what makes consulting interesting. Clients rely on consultants to do the toughest jobs. Innovative projects, advanced implementations, puzzling or entrenched problems, and difficult migrations are the foundation for our services daily. With us, you will not stall or be pigeonholed, as is sadly common for network professionals in ordinary corporate jobs. You will wake up every morning excited about the opportunities ahead.

On the way, you will meet some great people, both by establishing strong client contacts and by operating in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will learn from and add to their growth. Yes, technology is important, but we are a relationship-oriented organization heart and soul. If you don’t offer strong communications skills or enjoy cooperating with a diverse group of people, then Progent is in all likelihood a poor fit.

If all this seems good to you, we urge you to contact us about our view of the future of information technology consulting.
