Why is Access to a CCIE-certified Consultant So Important?
A CCIE is a world-class networking engineer who achieves this elite recognition only after rigorous testing administered by Cisco. CCIEs can deal with the most complex issues surrounding computer network integration, repair, and configuration. Progent’s CCIE-qualified professionals operate directly with Cisco's in-house staff in analyzing problems with IOS software and developing temporary alternatives or finding program updates to fix problems. Most CCIEs are employed by large enterprises or national ISPs, and so their skills are not readily available to small businesses.
For businesses in Alaska, Progent offers easy, fast, and cost-effective remote access to Cisco CCIE engineers. Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts (CCIEs) are elite networking experts who earn this top-level classification only as a result of thorough examination by Cisco. CCIEs can resolve even the most complex problems surrounding network planning, deployment, performance, troubleshooting, and support. Progent’s CCIE experts cooperate intimately with Cisco engineers in analyzing issues with Cisco's IOS software and developing workarounds or obtaining patches to correct problems. Progent offers fast online access to a CCIE so you can receive immediate assistance for complex network problems that are impacting worker efficiency but are outside the scope of your usual network service resources. Progent's CCIE support engineers can access your network via state-of-the-art remote connectivity tools to deliver quick and cost-effective analysis and repair of urgent network problems.
