Qualified Cisco CCIE Engineers
The CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) certification is the premier recognition for networking engineers, and certifies an individual's technical knowledge at the expert level. CCIEs can handle the most complex issues associated with network design, deployment, administration, protection, and repair. CCIEs operate closely with Cisco's in-house engineers in isolating anomalies with Cisco IOS Software network administration utilities and coming up with alternate approaches or installing software patches to resolve problems. CCIEs represent an exceptional value because their deep expertise enables them to resolve the most complex problems rapidly. In many cases, less qualified engineers can wrestle with identical problems for hours or days.
Progent is among the few consulting organizations that makes CCIEs accessible to assist small and mid-size companies. Progent can provide fast access to a CCIE by telephone so that you can receive timely help for urgent network problems that are impacting worker productivity but are outside the scope of your local network maintenance personnel. Progent's CCIE engineers can connect to your environment using secure remote troubleshooting technology in order to provide quick and economical diagnosis and repair of critical network trouble.
