  • Certified Cisco Consultants
    The CCIE certification is the premier recognition for networking professionals, and indicates an individual's networking knowledge at the expert level. CCIEs can resolve even the most challenging issues associated with network design, deployment, management, security, and troubleshooting. CCIEs work closely with Cisco's internal engineers in isolating anomalies with Cisco IOS Software network administration utilities and developing alternate approaches or installing software patches to fix problems. CCIEs are an excellent value since their deep expertise allows them to resolve the most intractable problems rapidly. In common cases, less seasoned consultants can struggle with the same problems for hours or days.

    Progent is among the rare service firms that makes CCIEs accessible to help small and mid-size businesses. Progent can provide quick contact with a CCIE by telephone so that you can receive timely help for complex network issues that are impacting business productivity but are outside the scope of your ordinary IT maintenance personnel.
