Cisco Certified Expert Network Consulting and Support

Progent's operational structure is designed to make the best information technology talent available quickly and for a reasonable cost. Progent is a leader in the IT consulting industry for the ability to provide easy, quick, and budget-friendly access to Cisco CCIEs. Cisco-certified CCIEs are sought-after network professionals who qualify for this prestigious certification only after intense examination by Cisco.

CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) is the premier recognition for network engineers, and certifies an individual's networking knowledge at the expert level. Individuals who succeed in both of the mandatory exams, one written and one in a hands-on lab setting, are awarded a CCIE certificate from Cisco. CCIE certification typically requires at least three years of practical experience architecting, deploying, operating, and repairing sophisticated Cisco networks. Earning a CCIE credential also demands experience with Cisco devices and Cisco networking solutions, extensive knowledge of LAN and WAN technologies, and an in-depth familiarity with the protocols associated with appliances such as routers, switches, bridges, and security devices. The elite CCIE certification has been voted the most advanced IT credential by CertMag.

The Capabilities of a CCIE Consultant
The CCIE certification identifies consultants with the knowledge and background to handle the most challenging assignments in networking. The CCIE exams administered by Cisco are continually revised to grow with the industry, focusing on current environments and real-world applications. The CCIE credential is active for two years, and to keep it current consultants must pass a Cisco recertification test. This guarantees that CCIEs do not become stale or overly specialized in order that they can offer the most advanced approaches to the widest range of problems associated with the most current networking technology.

CCIEs are an elite class of engineers. Below 3% of all Cisco accredited individuals make it to the CCIE credential, a small minority of information technology workers in the industry. In 2010, about 5,000 Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts were estimated to be in the United States. Progent retains the skills of about a dozen CCIEs on its remote and on-site IT support group, which represents an exceptionally high number for an independent network service company.

CCIEs can handle the most challenging issues involving network design, deployment, management, protection, and repair. CCIEs operate with the highest priority with Cisco's in-house engineers in identifying anomalies with Cisco IOS Software network management utilities and developing alternate approaches or installing software patches to correct problems. CCIEs are an excellent value because their deep expertise enables them to resolve seemingly intractable problems rapidly. In common cases, less seasoned consultants can burn up hours or even days struggling with a task that a certified CCIE can resolve in just minutes.

The majority of Progent CCIEs are not only expert at Cisco products, but have a variety of advanced technical credentials such as Microsoft MCSE, and an important security credential such as CISSP or CISA. This allows Progent to offer complete services that incorporate a wide array of IT products without incurring extra expenses and interruptions orchestrating multiple specialists.

Progent's CCIE Support Services
The vast majority of CCIEs work for large enterprises or national Internet providers, and so their help is not readily accessible to the general public. Progent is among the rare service firms that makes CCIEs accessible to assist small and medium sized businesses. In addition, Progent can provide quick access to a CCIE-certified consultant by phone so that you can get immediate help for urgent network problems that are hurting worker efficiency but are beyond the scope of your local IT maintenance personnel. Progent's CCIE engineers can tie into your network via the latest remote troubleshooting tools in order to perform quick and affordable diagnosis and repair of urgent system trouble.
