Details Concerning Opportunities with Us
Fulltime Work for Network Consultants, Desktop Support Specialists,
Security Consultants, and Remote Support Technicians
Progent is seeking to find full-time, results-oriented Microsoft certified consultants with MCSE or MCP credentials; Cisco certified system consultants with CCIE certification; security professionals who have CISM or comparable security certification; and advanced system design experts with experience in mobile access, wireless connectivity, high availability, disaster recovery, information protection, and virtual servers. Progent also is hiring employees who can join our team of help desk support technicians and off-site troubleshooting experts. In addition, We are hiring experienced managers able to operate productively in our high-growth, virtual office environment.
By supporting a staff of skilled and motivated consultants, delivering attentive client care, and offering a strong results-based fee model, We have been able to increase our customer base dramatically while delivering professional services to numerous companies in Northern California and throughout the U.S. A sophisticated virtual office environment, a common information database, and a team approach to problem solving have allowed Progent to retain a skilled staff and a loyal client list.
For an information technology professional with troubleshooting experience, teaming with Progent or working for Progent's customers will enhance your knowledge via cooperation with our staff of mutually supportive, talented consultants. Our commitment to providing information technology consulting and computer support to small companies will offer you the chance to work intimately with key players and add significantly to the growth of exciting companies.
We are hiring technical professionals who can show recognized certification in their special focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you should have earned your Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer certificate. In the case of Cisco experts, have your CCIE or CCNP certificate. For network security, you should have you CISSP, Certified Information Systems Auditor, CISM, or other leading security credentials. Of course, we are familiar with “paper MCSEs.” Notwithstanding, simply because a credential can not ensure excellence is no reason for not owning one. If you have mastered your field, then most of those certifications should pose no challenge. The crux of the matter is that if you call yourself a professional, then clients deserve to see certifications. We will promote your talents, but you need to provide standard certifications for us to market. In case you happen to be strongly against the concept of credentials, we can sympathize with and respect your opinion, but you are probably not a good fit.

Enhance Your Abilities with Advanced Technology and
Joining a Great Team of Computer Consultants
Progent's company culture will allow you to become a more capable professional by improving your technical knowledge and increasing the satisfaction of your customers. Progent makes good on this commitment by attracting the best professional talent for you to operate with, providing a state-of-the-art system architecture, running specialized application utilities to deliver the highest quality of service, and by optimizing our business models for attracting and retaining clients.
The most important factor that differentiates Progent from other consulting companies is the high caliber of our consultants. Among the 50 or so consulting experts who have teamed with us, we have recruited the best expertise covering a wide range of technical areas. Be it Microsoft Windows, Cisco firewalls, corporate security, Mac, Linux/UNIX, server virtualization, or other key technologies, we deploy professionals who can enable you to be successful on larger projects by combining the aggregate experience of Progent's group of professionals.
To ensure the productivity of our team, we invest significantly in making available the most powerful technology to perform the work properly. Progent will exploit technology to an impressive degree and our advanced virtual office environment allows effortless communications, cooperation, and knowledge exchange with fellow Progent consultants — entirely from at-home or on-the-road offices. Consultants don’t throw away time or forfeit income because of daily drives to a physical office building, and any travel you do for on-site client jobs is determined by your time table, not Progent's. The most attractive part is that much of our consulting services can be done off-site, representing 100% efficiency for billable hours. In practice, some Progent staff do remote consulting exclusively.
Our business structure is set up for responding rapidly and effectively to client needs through information sharing and collaborative problem resolution. Although our consultants work with a great deal of freedom, dispatching is unified, customer problems and resolutions are meticulously tracked, documented, and archived for easy reference, up-to-date engineer availability is broadcast to streamline group tasks and enable problem escalation, and client satisfaction is continually monitored. We strengthen the feeling of cooperation via monthly team meetings and quarterly corporate events.
The majority of our consultants are located throughout California, but Progent is attracting a rapidly expanding team of network experts from across America. Progent's virtual office environment does away with regional obstacles that limit the efficiency of conventional company models. We complete the deal by providing a full employee care program to promote the physical health and financial security of our employees and their relations.
Just as we have world-class consulting professionals, our marketing and administration teams match the high standards that defines Progent. These top-notch contributors to Progent’s growth are enabling us to target and sign up the 50-60 new clients we are now engaging each month. Progent lately celebrated the delivery of services to our 1,000th client. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why Progent is also a strong marketing operation.
Having a passion for technical proficiency is a key for growth with us. A job in consulting will push you to enhance your skills more than you would in any other job in network technology. Being confronted by a continual series of technical challenges is what keeps professional support interesting. Customers rely on a consultant to perform the toughest jobs. Innovative tasks, leading-edge implementations, vexing or chronic problems, and tricky upgrades are the foundation for our services daily. At Progent, you will not stagnate or be narrowly defined, as is all too typical for network engineers in ordinary corporate jobs. You will wake up every morning enthusiastic about the opportunities to come.
Along the way, you will work with some wonderful people, both by establishing strong client contacts and by working closely with other Progent consultants, where you will benefit from and add to their success. Yes, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-focused company from top to bottom. If you don’t have strong communications skills or like working with a diverse group of personalities, then we are in all likelihood not a good match.
If all this sounds good to you, we invite you to contact Progent about our vision of the new paradigm of information technology consulting.
