Cisco Certified Expert Network Consultants

Progent's organizational structure is geared towards making the best IT skills accessible on short notice and economically. Progent is a leader in the network support arena for the ability to offer convenient, quick, and budget-friendly access to Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts (CCIEs). Cisco-certified CCIEs are elite network professionals who earn this prestigious certification by passing strenuous testing by Cisco.

CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) is the most advanced recognition for networking engineers, and indicates an individual's technical skills at the expert level. Individuals who pass the two mandatory exams, one written and one in a hands-on lab environment, receive a CCIE credential from Cisco. Becoming a CCIE typically takes at least three years of practical experience designing, deploying, operating, and repairing sophisticated Cisco environments. Earning a CCIE credential also requires a familiarity with Cisco devices and Cisco networking software, extensive understanding of Local and Wide Area Network technologies, and a detailed understanding of the protocols used on appliances such as routers, switches, bridges, and security devices. The prestigious CCIE certification has been voted the most technically advanced IT certification by CertMag.

The Skills of a CCIE Engineer
The CCIE certification recognizes engineers with the skills and background to handle the most challenging tasks in their field. The CCIE tests given by Cisco are continually revised to grow along with the industry, focusing on contemporary environments and real-world problems. The CCIE certification is active for two years, and to renew it holders must take a Cisco recertification test. This guarantees that CCIEs don't become out of date or overly specialized in order that they can provide the latest solutions to the widest range of challenges involving the most current network and security technology.

CCIEs are an elite group of engineers. Less than 3% of all Cisco qualified professionals make it to the CCIE level, a tiny minority of information technology workers in the industry. By 2010, about 5,000 Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts were located in the US. Progent retains the skills of about 12 CCIE-certified engineers on its phone-support and on-site network consulting group, which is an extraordinarily high number for a publicly accessible computer support firm.

CCIEs can handle the most complex issues involving network planning, integration, administration, security, and troubleshooting. CCIEs work closely with Cisco's internal engineers in isolating problems with Cisco IOS Software network management utilities and developing workarounds or obtaining software patches to fix problems. CCIEs represent an exceptional value because their deep expertise allows them to fix complex problems rapidly. In many cases, less seasoned engineers can burn up hours or even days wrestling with a problem that a certified CCIE can solve in just minutes.

Most Progent CCIEs are not only expert at Cisco networking solutions, but have multiple recognized industry credentials including Microsoft MCSE, and a major network security credential such as CISA or CISM. This permits Progent to offer end-to-end solutions that incorporate a wide range of technologies without requiring needless costs and delays managing multiple consultants.

Progent's CCIE Support Services
The vast majority of CCIEs work for large enterprises or nationwide ISPs, and so their help is not easily accessible to small businesses. Progent is one of the rare consulting firms that makes CCIEs available to help small and mid-size businesses. In addition, Progent can provide fast access to a CCIE online so that you can get immediate support for urgent network problems that are hurting business productivity but are outside the experience of your ordinary network support providers. Progent's CCIE engineers can tie into your network by means of the latest on-line support technology in order to provide fast and economical diagnosis and repair of critical system problems.
