Progent's group-based approach to resolving technical problems promotes quick escalation, if necessary, to consultants with appropriate expertise to handle complex situations. This expedites solutions of critical problems, minimizes network downtime, and lowers support expense.
Certified Cisco Consultants
The CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) credential is the top recognition for network professionals, and indicates a person's networking knowledge at the master level. CCIEs can handle even the most difficult problems associated with network design, deployment, management, security, and troubleshooting. CCIEs operate with the highest priority with Cisco's internal engineers in isolating anomalies with IOS Software network administration tools and developing alternate approaches or installing software patches to correct problems. CCIEs represent an excellent value since their depth of expertise enables them to solve the most complex problems quickly. In many instances, less seasoned consultants can wrestle with identical tasks for many hours or even days.
Progent is among the rare support firms that makes CCIEs accessible to assist small and mid-size businesses. Progent offers fast access to a CCIE by telephone so that you can get immediate support for complex network problems that are impacting worker efficiency but are beyond the experience of your ordinary IT maintenance resources. Progent's CCIE consultants can tie into your environment using sophisticated on-line support technology in order to provide quick and economical diagnosis and remediation of urgent network trouble.
