CCIEs work closely with Cisco's internal support staff in isolating anomalies with Cisco IOS Software network management utilities and coming up with workarounds or obtaining software patches to correct problems. CCIEs represent an excellent value since their deep expertise enables them to fix the most complex problems quickly. In common instances, less qualified consultants can wrestle with the same problems for hours or even days.

  Progent is among the rare consulting firms that makes CCIEs available to support small and mid-size companies.
