What Makes Access to a Cisco CCIE So Important?
A CCIE (Cisco Certified Internet Expert) is a world-class networking professional who earns this elite certification only after rigorous testing administered by Cisco. CCIE-certified consultants can handle the most complicated issues surrounding computer network integration, repair, and configuration. Progent’s CCIE-certified support specialists operate directly with Cisco's internal engineers in identifying problems with Cisco IOS utilities and creating temporary alternatives or obtaining software patches to resolve problems. The vast majority of CCIEs work for large enterprises or national Internet providers, and so their skills are not readily accessible to small businesses.

For small and midsize organizations throughout Alabama, Progent offers convenient, fast, and economical online access to Cisco CCIE support professionals. CCIEs are elite networking experts who earn this top-level classification only through thorough testing by Cisco. CCIEs can handle the most complicated problems surrounding network planning, deployment, performance, troubleshooting, and service. Progent’s CCIE experts work closely with Cisco engineers in identifying issues with Cisco's IOS platform and devising workarounds or acquiring patches to resolve anomalies. Progent can provide prompt remote access to a CCIE so that you can get timely help for complex network problems that are affecting business efficiency but are beyond the scope of your local IT service providers. Progent's CCIE support experts can access your network using advanced remote connectivity technology in order to provide rapid and affordable analysis and remediation of critical network problems.
